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...

The (original) ceiling is intact and solid....ceiling and walls don't have the appearance of lath & plaster....thanks.

Hey guys, our house was built in the late 1950's and we brought the house in 1980. The living room ceiling appears to be accoustical tile attached to ceiling drywall. Over the last six months a small strip ( approx. 18" x 4" along a seam line) has become detached from the (original) ceiling...

Being involved in the crushed (limestone) stone industry for 44 years maybe this will help. If you do have a deep fill to do start with 1" limestone. Follow up (last 2"-3") of fill use 1/2" limestone to choke the voids created by the larger stone. This type of material (unlike roadway base...

Yes....cleaned and prepped all areas to be repainted. The paint is primer/paint combined.

To all painting pros....help! I'm freshening up the exterior (aluminum) trim on Mom's house and the paint (Glidden exterior latex) streaks like I'm using a wire welding brush. I'm having to put a second coat on all the surfaces which takes more time and energy. I'm using the recommended brush...
