    Loader GC2310 hydraulic issues...again!

    I've read this whole thread trying to learn something. I have absolutely no understanding of hydraulics other than a simple valve that will move a cylinder back and forth. Just want to relate a problem I had with no movement on a post hole auger on my GC2610. It was working fine and just...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    I was too cheap to buy a changer and suffer because of it. I wrestle with them on a carpet, on the floor. I recently installed a rear knobby right after a new front on my Sportster. Had sore knuckles for a few days. I'm going to look into a changer for next time.

    Lowe's/Kobalt 80 volt battery tool system: a cautionary tale.

    Be careful and read the whole warranty before you buy. Bought a Rigid shop vac and read the warranty while sending in the registration. Lifetime did not apply. This will be the Last Rigid corded tool I buy unless they change the crap wire they use that will not coil easily and is...

    You Know You Are Old When

    I've been participating in an organized dual sport dirt bike ride since it started in 2008. For a few years now, I realize that I won't be riding the A course on my 500cc four stroke or even on my 300cc two stroke anymore. They don't do a B+ anymore so last week-end I did 138KM (85...

    Any have those 5.5 gal cans with electric pump

    It's a pain finding reasonably priced "D" cells today. I have a very good flashlight that uses four of them. I use four "AA" cells, held in place by some plastic pipe of appropriate diameter and length. Still lasts over a year before getting dim and I don't have to throw away batteries...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    We have compulsory government insurance here. The basic required insurance on my 2005 Harley XL1200R costs more than the same coverage on my 2014 Cadillac CTS-V coupe. And they try to tell me we're not being ripped off. My street licensed 2016 Husky TE300 is reasonable at about $80.00 for...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    My 2013 Skidoo 800cc was pull start only. It started so easily that I would have had no problem getting another, but buying used, my 2017 850 came with electric start and I like it.

    Who rides motorcycles?

    When the charging system on my Sportster died, no amount of battery charging or jump starting would get it to run. Never had any experience like this with a car. Bike came home on a tow truck. All of my dirt bikes ran on a magneto or similar. No battery needed.

    Anyone else having this problem? I've had it for several days now. Page takes forever to load and I get the notice that must be clicked off before my mouse has any utility. Not having this problem elsewhere.

    How big of a slab could I do by myself?

    That trust disappeared when I watched a crew remove the end form and have the concrete truck drive over the mesh so they didn't have to us their wheelbarrows. Wasn't going to hire that crew.

    How big of a slab could I do by myself?

    I save the cardboard from water heaters and other large appliances. When having appliances delivered the guys always seem to be happy to get rid of some large pieces of cardboard.

    My knowledge of California is limited but I have to wonder why bother to produce more clean power to supply more and more people if there is not going to be enough water????
