    Cloud seeding.

    Many people don’t realize that there were contrails before the jet engine was available. The contrails can be seen in old WWII film clips. Bomber groups of B-17s, B-24s, and Lancasters would leave very obvious contrails. Here’s an experiment for the chemtrail crowd. Exhale on a cold day.

    Hyundai/Kia drain plug failure

    The local KIA dealer did the recall test, changed the oil, and installed the orange dipstick in our 2013 Optima. 5.000 miles later, I went to change the oil. I could not budge the drain plug. I took it back and made them do it. I let them know if they messed up the oil pan, it was on them. No, I...

    Browsing for a new ride

    I just picked up a new Specialized Roll 3 this morning. I took it for a short ride. I believe there is a little too much air in the tires. It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden. So, I’ll have to stretch it a little more everyday.

    Hustler Super Z Hyperdrive Hydraulic Filter?

    I would use the Rotary filter. The only thing special about the Hustler OE filter is the price. Rotary is one of the largest OPE parts distributors in the world. Here’s the Stens equivalent. https://mowpart.com/stens-120-330-stens-transmission-filter-replaces-hustler-602768x/ Whether it’s the...

    Why are OEM tires so bad?

    I’ve seen those in Tire Rack before. It doesn’t have anything to do with what I’m saying. Take my F-150 for example. The Michelin LTX M/S 2 are the same tires that you can buy at the tire store. I’m sure there are others.

    Why are OEM tires so bad?

    I’ve had OE tires last a good while and others that were finished before 40,000 miles. I’m not buying into the theory that tire manufacturers make two identical looking tires and the OE tire is different than an aftermarket version. It makes no economic sense for a tire maker to do such a thing.

    Fram 3614 series for OPE?

    That’s a Kawasaki filter and it won’t fit a Kohler or Briggs.

    Fram 3614 series for OPE?

    Yes, some mower manufacturers cram the engine in there and a shorter filter must be used. However, the OP stated that he has been using the 3614. So, he’s okay with the fit.

    Fram 3614 series for OPE?

    The TG3614 is perfectly fine. I have one on my Gravely. I really like the Super Tech MP3614 however, it appears that Walmart is phasing those out. Here are some other options. Motorcraft FL910s Wix 51348 Napa Gold 1348 STP S3614 There are others.

    Michelin Defender Problem

    I’ve see the same thing on many Firestone tires. It’s a manufacturing defect. The ply material is too short.

    2015 Toro Timecutter SS4235 Kawasaki FR600V 20hp

    The Kawasaki KTech 10W40 oil that is JASO and JASO 2 rated oil. It’s a Synthetic Blend. Most motorcycle and outdoor power equipment dealers stock it. With that being said, any 10W40 motorcycle oil will work. 15W40 Diesel engine oil works well too. If it says 4 cycle on the label and is a 10w40...

    Watch out, being oblivious will get ya

    I hate driving in and around Atlanta. One time, I was on I-20 heading east. I always pay attention to what’s around me. I see a pickup truck bed liner in the lane ahead of me. I was able to change lanes before hitting it. I don’t know how the car behind me made out.
