BBBBAAAWWWAAAHHHHHAAAAA!!!!!

That's really amusing.

True... you couldn't get them sharpened for 12 bucks!

Honest to pete - Huskie doesn't make a three blade deck under 48" and
never has. To get a 48" deck, it has to be a minimum 25hp - mine's a
25 horse, 48" deck, hydro drive and it's just barely sufficient for
the three acres of lawn I have to mow - it ain't no "small" lawn
tractor either.

I get dealer cost on my blades and they are $36 a three pack from
Huskie.

There isn't a farm dealer in the world who's going to make that kind
of mistake selling mower blades.

It's a damn shame that a person can't make a list of tasks related to
a lawnmower and not be questioned about whether or not he actually did
them.

It's a 'Peter and the Wolf' story if one ever existed.

Yup. Bought them last year way out in Virginia at a big farm equipment
store. Three blades, with an $11 and change sticker on them. Maybe it
should have been $11 each, but I was charged under $12. Standard issue
from Husky, too...not OEM.
When I lived in Eastern Maryland, I would always go to Virginia to
buy
my mower blades, doesn't everyone?
He didn't say he went to Virginia to buy the blades, moron.

You silly ****, sure he did. Got readin'?


No, ****-for-brains, I happened to buy them *when* we were out in Luray.
We didn't drive to Luray for garden tractor parts.

Where is luray anyway? Pennsylvania?

Virginia.

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.

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

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".

....in Kuwait from a guy that knew "his Dad".

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.

Ahhh...the right-wing ejaculates at play. At least you have the proper

of oil I poured in from the oil jug was correct, since the dipstick
reads full, and I didn't overfill.

Is he a pontooner too? ****in' hilarious.

Bubbles on the bottom. That's not a boat, it's a raft.

Try catamaran. They ones I have seen plane nicely without monster
motors. You can pull water skiers and everything. Ideal cocktail
cruiser.,and for that, a pontoon boat can carry enough battery for
electric drive.
