The hardware is generic and used for some really cheap stuff. If you spend some time in some countries, you will find the average mechanic is lucky to even have a single complete set.

I think they do that so that someone with only one wrench set can put it together (and not use his rusty old adjustable wrench).

Sure, they've all heard that story before. When I was in high school, a guy bet us he could drive through town (small town) in reverse. He got halfway before the local cop stopped him. He convinced the cop the transmission was stuck in reverse and even got the cop to hold a flashlight for him...

I think most are like mine - if it's in neutral with the brakes set, the seat switch is bypassed.

All indications point in that direction. After all, if he didn't bother with a drivers license, why would he bother with legal immigration papers? What I can't figure out is how a boat that expensive ended up in such a shoddy situation. A decent trailer and towing contractor would be peanuts...

I wonder if a small shim on the contact surface would make a difference in the sensitivity?

SATs and other standardized tests aren't perfect but they are about all we have. Having predictable standardized tests push teachers to "teach to the test" which isn't ideal, but not having tests at all hide the underperforming schools and teachers. Home environment is probably as important to...

True but neither have the tensile strength to be used as a vehicle support.

If you have the new soft bag model, it is a copy of the proven Cyclone Rake design. Are you saying the rear closure flaps don't stay closed. You close the upper and lower first, then the left and right. If they don't stay closed the snaps are defective. If the leaves are blowing out the top vent...

Unloading that 4 wheeler should not cause any additional noticeable damage.

Well, Williy, we're all different and that's why there are options. There was no cab option for my tractor, and if there was, I wouldn't have paid the $3,000 to $4,000 price difference. A/C? We don't need that here and I wouldn't want a cab on the tractor in the summer. I wouldn't be able to mow...

On my JD 2320, there is a front bracket for the mid mount mower that is also used for the optional front blade. I found a used Exmark snowplow (don't know if it was made for a zero turn or a four wheeler) and adapted it to JD frame mount bracket. I did a thread on the build a few years ago. Here...

OTC on my John Deere. It's great. Get the glass windshield. Never seen a need for a wiper.

I assume they are continuous sheets with no joints. The metal manufacturers don't guarantee against leaks with less than 2/12 slope, but with full length sheets it may not be a problem.
