I can’t imagine how a small-claims-court will help a buyer recover money poorly-spent based upon a verbal comment by a seller, especially if the item was seen by the buyer prior to payment…and even if not, a buyer making payment based upon sales-comments verbally offered without prior inspection...

YOu really need to get the Owners Manual and a WSM (WorkShopManual) if you’re going to work on this thing. They are cheap and available online. Someone here might even email you a copy if they have that year model. Sounds like your elect fan is not coming on at the right temp. You might be...

My X900 has 12” tires… not 14”. (24x10x12)

Those ATVs being crushed in Hartford were unique…. they had been confiscated not simply because they were on the street…. they were involved in various crimes and their VIN ’s had been altered….(meaning stolen or disguised) …so as to make them untraceable and un-sale-able. The authorities...

GOOD ON YA!

What’s as important as knowing how to tie a knot…. is to know when and where and why a particular knot is used. For example, the sheepshank is used to shorten a rope without cutting it, (i.e., temporarily shorten a rope.) Cow hitch (girth hitch) is used to temporarily tie a rope to a post. A...

According to Google: As little as 1% gasoline contamination will lower the diesel flash point by 18 degrees C. This means the diesel fuel will prematurely ignite in the diesel engine, which can lead to engine damage. Gasoline contamination can also damage the fuel pump and mess up diesel injectors.

Slicing the bird…

I live where it never gets below 15F so I don’t use anti-gel…. but I do use a biocide “Biobor-JF” because it was approved to use in the jets I used to fly. I also use Stabil Diesel additive (although that may not truly be necessary) in my 160-gal storage tank. I use about one storage-tank full...

I believe the shifter is designed to prevent inadvertent shifting into Low while travelling at-speed….and/or shifting from R to H without pausing at N…. which can cause expensive damage if done at speed. I’m not flustered by it at all…and I’m reluctant to remove what I perceive as a...

Backing-up is not comparative to forward capabilities because 4WD is geared such that the front wheels rotate very slightly faster than the rear wheels in order to keep steerage. Some vehicles have different sized tires on front vs rear to accomplish this….some vehicles do it with gearing…the...

Take your old filter to an O’Reillys or NAPA, etc… My O’Reillys found THREE alternatives for my Ram 1500 cabin filter….The OEM was $28 and the three alternatives priced from $8 - $11. All fit perfectly despite supposedly for totally different vehicles and (no kidding) less than 1/16-inch...

A little whine is normal…. and the “heavier” the load or more work demanded of the machine…the more pronounced the whine.

OOOPS>>> I COMPLETELY FORGOT another ingredient: AFTER IT’S ALL COOKED AND while adding the oats…I stir-in two cans of canned-pumpkin….stirring to mix it in thoroughly . No need to cook further when adding the pumpkin and oats…the oats don’t really need cooking since they’re added when the pot...

I live in central Tx where “hill country” is the usual description. The ranch has some pretty steep grades on loose gravel as well as some “boggy” river and pond bottoms. I have a small home-made trailer with little 5.70-8 wheels and I typically over-load it… It was likely intended for...

I should have clarified that when I said I “pour the entire contents” of the chicken hind-quarters bag into the pot…. I SHOULD have MADE IT CLEAR…I do NOT use the bloody water in the bag. I cut the bag end…pour the bloody water down the drain…and refill the bag with water from the tap to rinse...

I believe dogs die of cancer because of what we feed them. They are like slaves…they have no choice in when or what they are allowed to eat. They eat what we give them…or go hungry. And we usually give them commercial dog food that is over-processed, un-pronounceable and mysterious...

I thought I’d report-back on the outcome of my steering cylinder problem. Many friends recommended I take it to a hyd-shop. It turns out that would likely have been a terrible non-solution. The individual seals for this cylinder (6 of them) are not simple O-rings…and cost on average about...

The simplest and BEST solution (in my opinion) is to learn to let-up gently on the go-pedal, anticipating where you wish to stop (like you told your daughter when she was learning to drive the car.) If you modify your RTV to a “coast valve”…you will be very disappointed when you find yourself...

The ”cigar” lighter (12VDC) plug on the dash is rated at 10A and is “ON” full-time. Additionally you might consider connecting directly to the positive post of your battery…which is behind/below the drivers seat…and will not require you to run wire under/over/thru the cabin structure as the...
