Best thing i have started doing is blowing it off really well with a leaf blower after every mow. I even open the hood and blow off the engine bay as well. This is what is recommended by Messicks. Imo spraying with water, especially with a pressure washer, is asking for trouble. Any grass...

Imo white is the way to go.

These “workpro” branded knives are surprisingly good. Flick out easily with no button. All smooth edges so comfortable to carry and use. Liner lock for one handed closing. Cheap enough to not worry if you lose it. They are all i use now. I’ve seen them under a few brand names but haven't been...

Fathers day often brings some tool deals

I went through the same thing 2 years ago and after a ton of research i settled on this: Shop-Vac Professional 5 gallon 6.5 HP Catalog# 5872510 It comes with a mounting bracket which i used in my dust deputy rig.

Thanks for the replies guys! I haven't had a chance to work on it much yet, but Im hoping get it apart tonight so I can bring it to the media blaster tomorrow. Any recommendations on how to get these rivets off? I was thinking a good sharp drill or countersink? I will definitely be taking...
