They need it back quicker than Amazon can drop it off. I have the carb soaking in chemdip overnight. It’ll be back together by 7 or 8 am tomorrow morning whereas Amazon doesn’t usually deliver here until between 4pm-7pm.

Working on a customers “ran last season” mower… I’m not calling them a liar…

Don’t know if I posted this yet… Bought this off a coworker. The original carb was giving him issues. So he bought a knockoff one. He never could get it running right. So he bought a new mower. And I bought this for $100. It looks rough, but really, it’s just missing a hood. Anyway, he...

I guess my day wasn’t done lmao I was mowing down some tall stuff next to the road with my trusty rusty Ariens. I noticed it was down on power Yup. Air filter So I put a new one on I wonder what caused the element to pull in like that! I wonder if it was so clogged, it sucked it in...

Got the Sierra set up for lightweight towing. The wiring for the trailer lights are present, but not the plug. So I got one off that jungle website. Unfortunately, no factory tow package RPO, so no factory brake controller. Oh well. I’ll go aftermarket. But seriously though. I’m only going...

Got the rest of the holes drilled on the trailer coupler and used grade 8 hardware. When this weather breaks, the bed is coming off, frame rust repaired, cleaned and painted. Then the best bed it’s going back on this frame. Just did this for now, so the trailer remains usable in the interim.

Started messing with the truck bed trailers I bought previously. The one had a 1 7/8 hookup. The other one had a 2”. So I got a cheap 2” hookup. Got it bolted on with the 2 bolts (for now) but I will be drilling the other holes and using good hardware. It’s just now almost 9pm and I’m out...

Did a lot of banging. Inside. Outside. Under. Laying down. Standing up. Dunno if I did any good though. Started with this Ended with this Really only worked on it about 45 minutes though. I ran out of usable daylight. So it’ll have to wait until the next good day.

Been using the neighbors mower for a couple months. Decided to get my trusty rusty Ariens up and going. End of last season, a wheel bracket busted off, and the belt broke. So I got her fired up, and pulled into the main garage on the concrete so I could line up/level the deck to weld the...

Finally just said “eff the weather” and started finishing this one Got the driveshaft seal put in yesterday which was its own hassle (damaged housing) But today, got her all buttoned up I think. Went for a short shake down run just to see Not too bad. Shift points seem off, but I’m used...

Got a mower from the neighbor. He said it ran. Played with it, and sho ‘nuff it ran. Messing with it, and the throttle cable was falling apart, and the linkages on the Honda engine were near seized. So I ordered a throttle And soaked the linkages until the throttle arrived. I’m sure I...

Decided to jack the truck up to get more height. Put the front on ramps Needed height to fit the transmission and transmission jack under it Slid a piece of 3/4” plywood under there for the jack to roll on Neighbor came over and we got the transmission up in there. I initially only...

Otis the beagle, beagling lol Ellie taking a nap, Otis wanting to play Ellie and I hanging out in the garage

Thanks. I’ll need all the luck I can get! Left the garage open all day to air out. Only thing of value that got water damage, was that plasma monitor. The flood water got above the bottom shelf of the work bench which I have an engine on it, open. Water got in there. But that’s about...

I like the way you think lol Tomorrow I’ll start doing some clean up. Just gotta wait for everything to recede There’s really nothing that I’d cry over if it were toast. Even that plasma monitor isn’t the greatest. The headers to the truck are under the truck. Those might’ve gotten flooded...
