I don't know why he would have an ulterior motive. We actually were there to buy a Zero-Turn rider. We already have a self-propelled. Life expectancy of the batteries for the Toro is said to be 3 years. Glad you like your equipment. It is a whole different world than just a few years ago.

Toro dealer told us that Toro uses exact same deck for the electric and gas mowers. And that blade noise makes the electrics just as loud as the gas machines. Replacement battery for that machine is well over $200

This is a fascinating thread. Even more so considering the opening post that kicked it off. So much of what mechanics do can’t be done by a robot. I took me years to get to the point where I could afford to turn down work. No, I am not in the trades. Working in a dealership, or a chain has got...

Thanks for posting that so many years ago. Came here because of another thread. That is one very cool job. I figure I could do this, now that I have seen your work. Of course, I have about 50 dozen other things to finish first.

I recall somewhere (on GJ?) reading about how a guy used tire weights attached to an impact socket to get a really tight nut off a wheel. Picture showed a socket that had reached the size of a baseball. So I imagine that massive F1 socket has significant weight to create mega-torque.

I made something similar to that from some type of nylon or delrin (etc.) rod. Borrowed a small lathe from a friend. I guess you could do aluminum pretty easily...once you had/borrowed such a lathe.

Any Etsy or E-bay offerings for "vintage nails", or "slightly used, Made in USA nails"? :lol_hitti

Visit a machine shop? Maybe they can weld a bolt head onto an Allen screw, etc. Or, is there room to put flat washer/s or some shim/s under a bolt that is too long for your application?

Not sure. But it is definitely not one of those "Bang his wife" hammers. :lol_hitti:D

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ this And I almost feel that you should get a "You ****" for such a premium piece of stainless for zero cost. :lol_hitti

Excellent point! Can you call in sick?

I think everyone has a soft spot for some thing. In fact, when we are born there is a soft spot in our head. My sister complains about my non-sequiturs. I guess I have a soft spot....

The Power Probe is the answer. Multiple versions. Give me the bonus points?

I thought it was to address "glow-ball war-ming". Let me scroll the reviews. LOL :lol_hitti

Urethane sealant. 3M products: 5200 and 4000 are my favorites. OSI QuadMax is quite good also. DO NOT buy anything by OSI other than the QuadMax.

I don't know that product, but 3M has more solutions to paint and adhesion problems than almost anyone would ever need.

I have gotten to the point where i can afford really nice tools. Then i realize that a lot of things available today were not around 25 years ago. CNC for home user, 3D printer, battery powered tools. And a lot of the newer stuff can be had at all kinds of price points. Interesting.
