Since I can't cut the grass (too wet and it is pouring - again), I just
did a D&C on my little lawn tractor. I haven't done work like this in
years. It was running fine, but who knows what you can bust with
preventive maintenance? *:)
Any, after powerwashing under the hood, I
Replaced the two NGK plugs for a $1.50 each
Replaced the Kawasaki air filter elements for $20
Replaced the Kawasaki fuel filter for $5
Replaced the Kawasaki oil filter for $7 (from John Deere, which uses Kaw
engines in some models)
Replaced the three blades on the deck for $12
Greased a few fittings
Pulled and cleaned the carb, found a piece of grass near the jet
Put in a quart of fresh oil
Used a couple of dabs of dielectric grease
Amazingly, after five years of hard use, the drive and deck belts were
in fine shape, visibly
Reassembled, no parts left over. Starts, runs. Amazing.
I do need a new battery.
I mention this because, believe it or not, you used to be able to work
on outboard motors this casually, without a great deal of
engine/electronic knowledge, and with simple tools. Those were the days.
We're proud of yer Krausie. We didn't have a clue that you are so handy
to have around the house.

BTW a 3 blade mower seems a bit overkill for the less than 1/4 acre you
have to mow.

He's trying to compensate... kind of like having a big, "go-fast"
boat. *And "a quart" of oil isn't enough for a Kaw twin... even the
Kohler and B&S 14 hp singles use 1-1/2 quarts. *I call BS.

Ahh, well...I didn't measure that closely, not being anal, as you are..

Didn't measure that closely??? Didn't the oil COME in a one quart
bottle????

No... look again. *He buys his oil by the "jug".- Hide quoted text -

Well, he had to change his lie. That's what liars do when cornered.
He's now saying he bought oil for a lawnmower by the 5.5 quart
container!!!!!!!! I'm surprised his lie didn't go as far as trying to
tell us he drove his lawnmower down the the quickie lube to have it
done! Trouble is, they are five quart containers!

There is net capacity. For example fifty gallons liquid. Adding the
manditory ten percent expansion space requires a 55 gal barrel
A five and a half quart container holds five quarts a common exact
quantity for an oil change. Many cars take just exactly that. It is
way more than you need for a Kawasaki twin, 20 hp,[ what we have] or
anything similar.

We have other items in the garage besides autos that have four-cycle
engines. That's why I buy the jug'o'oil. I suppose if I were as dumb as
loogy, I wouldn't appreciate that.

Harry, take a picture of that "5.5 quart jug of Valvoline" and post
it. I'd love to see it!

Um, six quarts is the "common exact quantity for an oil change". Only
a fool would change oil without changing the filter. I'm waiting for
Harry to post a picture of the Valvoline label where says 5.5 quarts.

Only a fool would change oil without cutting opening the filter to
check just what it has trapped. When you see glitter, rebuild the
motor. I have the special tool for that. It isn't expensive. Racers
usually have one. We used to change the oil and filter every twenty
minutes or so running time, that is once a week. We used the double
length truck filters.

You changed the oil every 20 minutes? Must have taken you a hell of a
long time to get anywhere. :)

Good size. Someone must find approximately 4.5 quarts an even quantity
for something. Ever wonder why 55 gal barrels are that size? They hold
fifty gallons of liquid, plus the manditory expansion space.

Jugs holding 5.5 quarts of four cycle motor oil are generally available.

Gotta love poor dumb loogy's inability to read: I never said I bought
the jug of oil for my lawn tractor. I have a handful of "machines" here
that use four cycle oil, including the lawn tractor, a couple of cars,
an outboard motor, a small generator, et cetera.

I think loogy must be housebound...either that, or he's never been to an
auto supply store, a Sears or, puke, even the auto parts section of,
puke, Wal-Mart.
