On the way home from work today, a storm front was moving in and most of the leaves on the trees were coming off in large amounts. It looked like a snow blizzard, but in leaves. Many of the trees are shedding their leaves. it won't be a colorful fall season this year. What leaves that...

We finally just got a break from the heat. It was close to 100 and now it is 72. We had over 1.5 inches of rain come down in 45 minutes.

It's 101F outside right now in Middle Tennessee. For the whole month of August, we have only had .46 inches of rain. We haven't had any since the 15th of August. This is very unusual for Middle Tennessee. Normally ,we are around 45-48 inches of rain for the year by the end of August. We are...

The temp has actually been very nice this past week. Starting tomorrow, that is abruptly ending and the inferno will be back.

I don't believe I have ever seen a 12 VDC arc flash......first time for everything.....

Sometimes, it's just being able to enjoy the scenery at a pace that you can absorb it all in is what it is about. Flying past everything like a wooden picket fence does not create a lot of lasting memories. My days of being an adrenaline junky are long over. I enjoy driving through the trails...

I suspect he meant blue tooth. I can't recommend one, because I didn't order mine with a radio. I am 60% deaf and my days of thumping radios that are louder than the 1100 is inside the cab are long over.

Those pins should be removable with the wire still attached. Take a bit of electronic spray cleaner, spray the male and female pin real good. If that still doesn't fix it, remove one female pin at a time, give it a sleight squeeze with small needle nose pliers and re-insert. That should give...

"If your VIN is 16 characters, the 9th character is the year. If your VIN is 17 characters, the year is in the 10th position" Compliments of Mr. BCZOOM

Use an ohm meter and check for continuity between each wire. If it doesn't read close to zero ohms, you don't have a short. A short will usually involve blown fuses and melted wires.

According to your VIN, that is a 2004.

Just a question, based on an observation.

Has that tank been repaired before? The welds on the length of the tank look like they had been TIG welded without any filler rod added to it.

If it were me, I would start there with a complete filter/fluid change. After draining the tank, take a small penlight and shine down inside of the tank and see if there is sludge/debris inside of the tank. Look closely at the drained fluid and see if you see any water contamination, metal...

Nice ride. I like the longer bed. Being a diesel/hydrostat drive, 25MPH on flat land is what you will get out of it. You might get 30MPH if you are going down a steep ling hill. The RTV's were never designed to be a speed demon. They are designed for their longevity and insane low end...

I believe there is a pickup head at the end of that suction line. Make sure the head isn't plugged up with gunk. Not sure how old your unit is, but I know several people have had plugged suction heads. When was the last time the tank was drained and refilled? You may some some loose sediment...

You say you added oil to the transmission. Did you check the reservoir under the seat? Is your suction line in the reservoir collapsing?

Yank the head to observe what is going on. Either a head gasket or you cracked a head.

That site must be getting some type of kick backs from the ethanol fuel industry. While I agree with most of their ethanol fuel myth busting, ethanol plays hell on rubber hoses and rubber gaskets. Ethanol has no business being used in a small engine, unless the engine is just a cheap throw...

The heat index has been crazy stupid the past couple of days. Yesterdays heat index in Middle Tennessee reached 119F yesterday afternoon. Stay inside if you can and if you can't, drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks out of the sun.
