Asking for a friend, what is the cost of a blonde rental or Asian these days ? Would a true redhead cost more ? Is there a time or mileage limit ?

Surprised that it is in the wheel, if you cann,t find a used replacement you could possibly buy the wheel tire combo from your dealer. That appears to be the cheapest route.

Thanks for the picture. What year, make and model is it ?? Do you happen to have a picture of the whole car ?

It sure sounds like the seat safety switch to me as well. If you want to test the seat switch, pull the plug apart under the seat, and stick a paper clip into the harness side. Try that and see if it cures your problem. Since I am the only driver of my BX2370, I,ve been in test mode since 2016.

As long as there is a lot open space, I don,t see a problem with waiting for nature to run its course. I, along with many others on here really enjoy classic cars, and have a couple of nice ones myself. Sure would love to see a picture or two of your friends car. A picture of the engine bay...

Very nice countertops Duds13. Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures.

I would be interested in seeing the look of the soapstone countertops. Any chance you could post a few pictures of those ?

Neat picture. Fuddy, since your going eventually cut up the pumpkin anyways, why not just cut it away from the fence when the time comes to harvest it ?

My motto is, he who has the cash to spend, makes the rules. In this case, and from getting a feeling on how the OP likes the condition of the stuff he purchases to be spotless and brand new, and been told it would be delivered that way, I can totally understand that he was pi$$ed when it arrived...

If I was in your situation, I would get it moved to my location ASAP. There has to be a way to get the ownership, but I,m not sure how that is done in your state. I would probably get a written bill of sale from the estate handler, and talk to a licencing agent. With the VIN of the vehicle, the...

Lots of hard work going on there. Is dynomite an option to be used for a controlled blast, or three ?

Over the years, I have bought many replacement carbs. So cheap, and work great like Eddie mentioned. If I ever get really bored, and want something to do, I could fiddle with the old ones to fix them up for a spare, but I doubt I will ever get that bored, to actually do it. Why do the plugs even...

During my 76 years on this earth, I have come to the conclusion that probably 90 % of the female population cannot grasp the concept of how mechanical stuff works. They also have many unique women only qualities which 90 % of men don,t.

Isn,t the registered owner of the vehicle responsible for whatever happens with that vehicle ? I am pretty sure it is that way up here in Ontario, Canada. I could be wrong. What would you recommend for helping to get these dangerous drivers off the road ?

I thing it should be mandated world wide that every new vehicle should have a front facing recording camera built in as part of the rear view mirror, and there should be a hands free way to transmit live video when it is decided that someone ahead of you is driving dangerously as it is happening...

Women, if I ask you what time it is, I don,t need for you to first tell me how the clock was made.

My guess re these new drivers is they are being tested by one of their own, and if you pay enough cash, the paperwork gets complete. It has very little to do with them being actually able to drive the rigs they are driving. I drive on the 401 highway in our area, and every time I am out there...

Dftodd what truck have you got to be able to use the backup camera like that when hauling a trailer ? I,ve got a 2020 F150, but as far as I know, I don,t think I have that nice feature.

Any recent pictures of it and the implements you can post ?

I,m guessing it is a fuse. Do you have a test light, and know how to use it to check all the fuses ? A very quik and easy test, if you are familiar with using a test light. Also, make sure all the fuses are fitting snugly in their position. Sometimes, the female side loosens up enough to cause...

I,ve got a 2020 Ford F150. I tried putting in an address for a new church, but it would not recognize the address. Is there any free way to update my truck gps, or do I have to pay to get it updated to 2025 info ?

Hopefully if you decide she should move on, she doesn,t get half of what you own. Our neighbour has been married 3 different times, getting at least half each of the first two times.

It might be time to trade her in. Life is to short to spend so much time being miserable. Good ones are out there.

Did you ever hear back on the lower offer you put in on the other property ?

OP, post up some pictures when you get a chance. We love pictures.

Haydude, you could be the poster boy for GETERDUN. ! Great work. Find the problem, fix the problem, get moving ahead again.

I ,ve lost track, where is John at now re a new unit ?

Is there an hour meter on it ? Does it still look like new ? Like others suggested, even thou the 90 days have expired, I would still take to one of the managers in the store for that area and see if they will offer some goodwill kind of warranty.

I totally understand why the OP is dis-appointed. I look at all items I buy the same way he does. If I think I am purchasing something new, it should be delivered to look factory new. If the salesman tells me zero hours, it should be delivered with an amount very close to that. Now, if I made a...

How would you know the last guy that bought it didn,t take a loan out on it to purchase it ? it would be nice to know the complete history and how many owners it has had.

Did you actually go see it, or did you find an add somewhere on the net ? If you actually got a chance to check it out up close, make sure it is paid off before buying it privately. If you buy thru a dealer, I believe you are protected and don,t have to worry about that part of the deal. Give us...

Like others have mentioned, I would be tempted to burn it down. What is the best way to guesstimate the high of a tree ?

OP, since a picture is worth a thousand words, post up some pictures from all angles. That will allow viewers to give you a better idea of what it might be worth, to the right buyer. Another factor is how long do you want to have it listed ? How willing are you to answer a lot of questions from...

Looks great scootr, don,t see many of those with a removable hardtop. Give us more details on the car.

Bringing this back up to the top once again. Has anyone found good direct replacement gator blades for the 60 inch deck ? Not interested in using washers, must have the 11/16th inch hole.

Looks great. Is your friend as good looking as the bench ? It always amazes me what a women can get a man to do. LOL

It might be worth asking the supplier you got it from . Maybe once they see the picture they will send you a new free one.

Awesome, glad you found the issue, and found a way to correct it. Hopefully you get many years of trouble free enjoyment from it. I,m sure the compliments you get from others when you have it out and about have to make you feel very proud of all the effort and hard work you have put into...

The miata cars are fun cars to drive in the twisties. They do handle great. Her is my 1990, that we converted into a Monster Miata, with a balanced Ford 347 stroker motor, and 5 speed T5Z tranny. It provides lots of fun in the twisties, and the straits.

Post up some pictures. We all love pictures of recent purchases, especially cars.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to re-invent the wheel ? Are you bored and just looking to take a huge risk on spending a lot of time and money on a project that may, or may not work satisfactorily ?

As much as a buyer likes to think a realtor is working for them, they are 100 % working for the seller. They just feed the buyer all kinds of donkey dust to convince them to put in an offer. They have been caught many times telling untruths, and twisted info. I would be tempted to talk to...

Massey, you ain,t seen nothing yet, just wait til they find out your are sneaking in the hourly paid entertainment ! LOL

No, your problem is not the fuel filter. I think you have an issue with the run circuit.

When did the 2025 model year arrive on the dealers lot ? Are they giving you a discount on the 2024 ? If not, get a brand new arrival 2025.

If nothing else works, maybe if you post a picture showing the top of your mower with the guards off someone can tell or show you how to properly route the belt.

A message to the OP, pictures, we all love pictures !

Any update on what you found to be the problem ?

Great Easter picture !

How is it possible to backfeed when your main breaker is off ?

I tried selling various items at a firm price, but soon realized that everyone wants a discount, so I then started adding the amount I was willing to discount to the selling price, let them talk me down to what I actually wanted for the item, and it is a win win for both of us. I never put firm...

Post removed.

When I am trying to sell stuff, I try to get it to a point where the buyer cann,t find excuses to lowball. If I see broken stuff that the owner says an easy fix, it makes me wonder why they didn,t fix it. Buying machinery with broken items like your cables gives them an excuse to lowball. I...

Eddie, at some point, everyone gets stretched to thin. It appears that you have many, many things on the go, and I would think, at some point, it becomes to much work and not enough play. When all the hobbies, joys etc. become a burden, hard decisions have to be made for the well being of both...

Like I tell all the young folks who ask for my advice re vehicle insurance, get a quote from your insurance company in writing BEFORE purchasing a particular vehicle you are interested in buying. They kinda got you by the short ones if you approach them for insurance after you have already...

To the OP, I really enjoy your getter done attitude, along with the pictures and updates.

If he is asking 8K for it, snap it up quickly before someone else hears about it and it is gone. Looks to be in very good shape, and buying from someone you know and trust is a big bonus for me when I am buying stuff. Grab it quik for his 8K asking price!

No insurance renewal !

The dealer will tell you that model year doesn,t matter when they are trying to sell it to you, and will want top dollar for it. There will come a time were model year will matter, and that is when you go to trade it in, or sell it privately. If there isn,t much of a price difference, and you...

Awesome, I took a couple of my winter stored cars out of the garage here in Eastern Ontario, and let them warm up good and moved them around the driveway to keep everything lubed up and rolling free. Looking forward to the time change and an early spring.

Depending on the size of your lawn, you might want to look into either renting a vibrating roller or hiring a lawn equipment guy that has one to try and flatten it out for you. I doubt anything you are going to tow behind your BX will do the job. I have a 5 ft long x 18 inch diameter roller...

Haydude, have you priced out a new windshield ? It doesn,t look much bigger than the one I had replaced on my 2008 Ford F150. I paid 300 cash canadian funds to have it replaced. Huge difference from the old pitted one.

I agree. Living in Canada, it was the second biggest screwing the general population ever got, and continues to get daily !

I would let the vehicle , so it is not reported stolen. Very easy to disable the vehicle. Find the fuel pump fuse, replace it with a blown one. If you want double protection, do the same with the main computer fuse.

Yup, I tried that approach a long time ago, and finally realized you have to build in some wiggle room. It appears to be human nature for buyers to want to get some reduction in asking price, even when it is a great deal at full asking price. I,m programmed that way myself.

If people are selling stuff that cheap, basically half price of what it is actually worth, my main concern would be that is either stolen, not paid off in full, or something major seriously wrong with it. I am well aware and prepared for the state of our economy.

I still cann,t believe it was sold that cheap. Are you 100% sure it was paid for, and not stolen ?

If you leave it unattended, make sure you have it well insured, before you unhook it. Not a chance I would ever leave a trailer unattended. Up here in Ontario, Canada, you need a rider on your vehicle policy which covers a trailer. Without it, the vehicle insurance only covers the trailer while...

Hard to believe they are only asking 10K for a 2020 BX2680. Are you sure it isin,t a scam ? If you can really buy it for that, jump on it real quik, cause that is a steal !

Yup, even a couple of plastic tie straps tightly secured around the protruding section would be a good temporary fix until you can find the proper nut to put on there, or a stainless steel gear clamp.

Yes, it is nice to get an idea of the weight of the vehicle. When we did the 5.0 mustang engine swap into a miata, i lucked out the day I went to get a 4 wheel alignment done. Just as I was pulling into the alignment shop, a guy I know that owns the local speedway was just walking back to his...

When I cross shop dealerships, I never show them a quote I got from any other dealer. If they were good enough to give me a discounted price, I really don,t want another dealer to just match it. What it does do is gives me a good ballpark idea of how much I should be able to get it for, IF a...

Your friends Nova looks awesome, and it must be producing great amounts of HP to be running in the 8 sec. range. Nice to see you enjoying yours. I,m guessing your motor will produce at least 450 HP at the rear wheels. What would your guess be ?

Great topic. I,m notice superstitous at all but would enjoy reading stories from those that are.

Charging an EV might cost more than you think ! https://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/research/charging-electric-cars-are-wasting-more-power-than-you-think/ar-AA1qrsaw?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=209d611d2258494fbdfa0d98f83af8e9&ei=45

Awesome. Your perseverance has produced a beautiful car, that hopefully you and many others that see it can enjoy for a very long time. Once things settle down a bit for you, and you find some time, I would love to see and hear a video of it idling, and possibly a drive by if someone could give...

That,s what I,m talking about !

ANOTHER HAPPY TESLA OWNER ! https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/tesla-owner-fuming-after-26-000-pay-up-to-get-access-to-his-car/ar-AA1q7Y9P?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=5cfed7035c224c2bb54ecae041720871&ei=53

Great to see you have got your beautiful car to this no more leaks point. Was the anti-freeze leak coming from the head area ? If so, any chance some of it got mixed in with your engine oil ? I would love to hear that beautiful engine idle. If you get a chance, could you please post a short...

I used to own one of those tractors. Nice little unit. Can you post some pics of the complete tractor ?

Not long ago I watched loggers in a skill competition use a V8 powered saw to cut thru a huge log in a matter of seconds. Not sure what the diameter was, but it zipped thru like a hot knife thru butter.

What are you going to do with the old heads ? Will they match up with any type of block, or were they some kind of one of a kind ?

^^^^^^^^ Huge fire at Riven plant. How much pollution is this causing ?????

So sad to see that mess on the ground. IF the engine has to come out again, do you have an engine stand you could run it on ?

WTF, those big rigs aren,t self driving ??????

Be very careful with these things. Our neighbour died because he disturbed a nest while weed wacking and he got stung so many times, including inside his mouth, that they killed him.

Looks awesome ! Nice to see you are getting a chance to drive it and enjoy it. I,m betting you will get many compliments every time you have it out and about. Beautiful car. You did a fantastic job on it.

Post up several close up pictures of the complete tractor. That will help determine value.

I didn,t mean my ICE vehicles have a warranty that lasts 20 years, but any ICE vehicle I have ever owned all have, without major issues. If the battery pack craps out in an EV, I noticed it was 22K to replace it. As long as that is the case, and since the battery pack is the heart of the system...

I have thought about buying an EV, but haven,t been able to convince myself yet. What is the warranty on the battery packs, and what green method of disposal is being used for the discarded ones, at the present time ? Before I would seriously consider buying an EV, I would need a 20 year...

Again, im not sure what your talking about. I power smaller houses with gas appliances and heat on 11kw units with whole house switches. Its the large houses with all electric appliances that are the issue. I live in Ontario Canada, and have never seen or heard of a whole house panel. All the...

For the cost of these larger units, I,,m surprised, and dis-appointed that these larger units do not have a transfer system that will power up the complete panel. I have a 11K unit that I manually switch into service, and it allows us to carry on our day completely normal. The only thing I would...

If your fluid is clear, it is very hard to see the level on the dipstick. John Deere has a red additive you can add to it which helps a lot to make it much more visible.

I,m sure someone would, IF it was a negotiated part of the contract. A lot of times folks want a job done as cheap as possible, so some jobs to complete the whole job properly are cut out of the contract.

Looks great, and nice to see you actually got a chance to drive it down the road. This is my favorite thread, and I check daily for updates. I really enjoy watching the progress, and seeing the pictures. I can only imagine how great it must feel to have finally got it to this stage.
