    What have you done to your Branson today?

    That's great! I looked at the service manual and I talked to the dealer's service tech and he told me the only way was to remove the tire and fender. I couldn't tell how much work it would be to remove that floorboard, so... Hopefully there is not a next time to try your method!

    What have you done to your Branson today?

    Repaired the wire for my fuel gauge sending unit. Was clearing out berry briars and noticed I was "out of fuel" so I went to my tank and filed her to the top... gauge still reading E. Turns out one of the briars must have worked its way up and over the fuel tank and pulled one of the wired right...

    20 inch chainsaw recommendation

    It's well worth looking at Echo. They make a great saw, unmatched power and pro saw design at the price of the homeowner models from Stihl and Husky (Rancher.) I was shopping hard and comparing the big two, and I went to talk to saw repair guy who has been in business here for decades. I asked...

Ran the tractor briefly on a recent evening, went to start it the next morning and only the clicking of the relay. did all the diagnosing and concluded it was the starter. Called the dealer and I have one month left under warranty...
