Hey guys I'm in need of objective recommendations for FWD self propelled lawn mowers. I bought one (Toro) 2 weeks ago at Lowes. The sales ascot. was informative and helpful but when I used it....that's when my world changed. This more is a RWD type and with the cutting height set at 2 1/4...

Thanks

Greetings from the sunny (frozen) south. I have a 2014 cat 259d skid steer and am in need of assistance. In the past (years) when I've inserted the key and turned it to the "on" position a beep (for 5-10 seconds) is activated and I hear the fuel primer engage....then starting the engine the...

I've got a (clear) 12' opening in the chain link fence and I used (what I thought were) 2-6' wide gates for the opening. Both gates have seen better (rusted out) days. The original gates worked well for 44 years and when I got back home with 2-6' wide gates they were too short in width. Having...

Everything was good....just needed to c lean the contact points on the amp selector....thanks.

Everything was good so I took the amp dial out, cleaned it and all is good....thanks for the help.

Good morning all. I have a 1997 Millermatic 185 mig welder that won't fire. It has 4 amp settings and now (for some odd reason) I can't get it to fire off on any of the settings even when I strike the ground clamp. I mentioned this to a fellow welder and he said that a fuse (in the back of...

Hey guys....gotta situation with a (relatively) new Delta bathroom faucet in that the spout (itself) can be wiggled side to side....maybe 1/4" to 1/2" both directions. The nuts, under the lavatory, are tight just the spout moves if your hand/elbow bumps into it. I've looked, at Delta's...

The blade trueing rollers frame, on the bandsaw that I have, is designed in such a manner that it causes the blade to bow (even on a narrow width 90 degree cut) therefore my curiosity about the existence of a slow cutting speed mitersaw and blade that will reduce the need for the second (trueing...

Since steel is cut with a slow speed cold saw without too many chips on the floor I was (primarily) curious as to the existence of a slow speed saw to cut the aluminum without throwing chips everywhere.

For several years I've been making various angle cuts on aluminum/steel tubing with a Milton horizontal/vertical band saw. Unfortunately I've always had to use a stationary belt/disk sander to clean up the cuts to get my (desired) true finished angle. Having said all that, I'm going to ask...

Thanks guys.

I am not an electrician but I thought aluminum wire and copper wire don't play well together but if I can splice these different types of wire without a fire risk then okay.

60 amps...why?

My inlaws built a house and a detached garage in 1988. I have a problem in that the underground wiring from the house to the garage was severed by a landscaping company. The wires, from the house to the garage, are aluminum. All the receptacles in the garage, from the breaker box to the...
