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.

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

You didn't measure the oil you put back in after you drained it and
replaced the oil filter? It's really important to have the correct
amount in there... it's probably a *very* good thing you have all you
boat service done by the dealer if that's how you service power
equipment.

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.

That is because his dad helped design the modern lawn mower blade, so
the mfg'er sell them to Harry at cost.

When the first blade came off the line, they invited Harry's dad to a
celebration where they gave his dad a 21 mower salute. It was a grand
time for all. Harry S Truman was retired, but he still came over to
personally thank Harry's dad for making the life easier for suburbanites
all over the US.

Yep! Mine are twenty a piece! Then notice if you will, when someone

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!

Well it looks like Harry paid too little, they sell the Husky mower 3
pack of 21 3/4 blades for $41.99, if you order it online, and have it
shipped to the store. They say the local price will probably be more.

I hope Harry stops by the next trip up there and pays them the difference.

you have to mow.

For $12?

Four bucks a piece?

BBBBAAAWWWAAAHHHHHAAAAA!!!!!

That's really amusing.


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.

Is that a pontoon boat by chance? WTF are those things good for?

Ahhh...the right-wing ejaculates at play. At least you have the proper
"wide-stance" boat for someone of your persuasion, eh? Whatever amount
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.

Fascinating! Thanks for the info. Is your septic tank ready to be pumped
again? Please let us know when you do it. Pictures would be appreciated.

That'd be a job for Dan "Silly ****" Krueger.

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.

Poon has a tri-toon, which, I suppose, has an even wider stance than a
pontoon. There's a fellow at a nearby marina with one...his son is in a
wheelchair and I suppose the "flattop" aspect of the boat makes it
possible for the kid to enjoy the water.

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?

A garden tractor and no garden. You got one hell of a lawnmower for your
1/4 acre of grass.
