    Looking at Bad Boy Tractors, thoughts?

    Everything seems to be a Rip-off these days. Over $1,000 for a new dishwasher and you pay an extra $40 for a cheapo elbow and hose. The only manual is on-line and is a whole 2 pages of little help.

    Bullseye!

    Older Stihl getting hard to start

    Drain and discard all the old fuel. Put a cupful of 2 stroke mix in the tank. ONLY use full Choke for 1 Pull. Sounds like it is flooded when you try to start it.
