    Best string trimmer string.

    So what were the results? She was referring to string that sat a long time even at the dealer? I have never tried it but plan on if string seems to be breaking too often which mine seems to be breaking more than I like and is a few years old. She does make a lot of videos, can't blame her it...

    If you watch Chickanic on you-tube she also says soak it in a bucket of water it dries out over time.

    Are ATVs/UTVs overpriced?

    I thought I would never own one either way overpriced bought a used Yamaha Wolverine 850 SxS liked it for the most part but was too hot in the summer with the cheap zip up doors that seemed like they wouldn't last. So I sold it 5 months later during Covid and made a decent profit. Then I meet...

    Roof Ridge/Cap Wind Driven Leak

    JD 1530 will not stay in reverse

    Good point, basically any pivot points in the shift lever wear over time so there will be several wear points. On my tractor the shift lever moved forewared and back plus side to side there was noticeable wear in those pins also contributing to the sloppyness of the shifter.

    JD 1530 will not stay in reverse

    Wonder if the ball on the end of the shift lever is worn looks like its replaceable. On my International I had to build up the end of the shift lever with weld as there was not a replaceable tip.

    Frost heave?

    If you took out one door could you mount the existing other door on the inside of the wall keeping more snow and water away. Then still bury styrofoam underneath where the bottom of the door is when closed.
