    Would You Loan It Out?

    Last thing l loaned out was a grinder. Came back locked up. Took it in to be repaired, paid $18. This was in the 90s. I like to help people out if l can but sometimes saying no is probably the best. This same guy had a set of climbing spikes l borrowed from him. I returned them with all new...

    Would a zero turn be faster than a B2601?

    I mow 8 -10 acres. I bought a 61" Scag 2yrs ago mainly because l did not want the hrs put on my tractor. I'm rural, slight incline, and TREES! Takes 4 1/2 - 5 hrs. Pros: l can get under trees, l feel more comfortable with a low center of gravity. I can see what's in front of me easy (weak...

    Would you buy a 30 year old truck with 51 miles on it?

    If for a fact it was ran then thats great. However they'd really have no reason to do so with a business closed down. So if l got it. l wouldn't worry as much right now about internal engine parts. They'll show up on their own. All heater/coolant lines is where id start. Of course that fuel tank...

    Unit returned from Tompkins. Guy was kinda weird about what the mechanic did to get it going. Said he ran it through 2 regen cycles. It came back with 111hrs on it so they did have it running awhile. Not sure why the turn signals are functioning weird now but they can address that the next time...
