Assume you reolved this but just take one of the nuts you do have to an auto parts store to match it up.

[QUOTE=Brozum01;200936] ... But I guess 20 years of running heavy machinery hasn't taught me how to run equipment safely. [/QUOTE]

Broz,

Many times new owners ask questions after just buying a machine, and have little experience.

So I meant no insult to your skill as an operator. Just that in general with proper ballast you expect all 4 wheels to keep in contact with the ground. I guess you were just saying that the loader power was kick ass strong, not that you think being out of balance is the way to go. My bad sorry.

But I never ever have seen a tractor that had to move forward or backward for the loader to work properly.

Best of luck

Bob

I have 16 feet of workshop bench space.<br>
<br>
And I have to say I am more ashamed of how it looks than proud.<br>
<br>
I never clean up after I do somehting completely, so every time I start something new I have to push crap out of the way just to find space the size of my hand.<br>
<br>
It is very sad indeed.<br>
<br>
If you are proud of your set up please post a picture as I am looking for inspiration to change my sinful sloppy shop ways.<br>
<br>
And if you are ashamed of how your work area looks please post a picture it might make me feel like I am really neat with my mess LOL!<br>

Are you proud of your Workshop

So what you describe sounds like blow by. One of the causes can be worn pistons and rings. The other is the cylinder head and valves.

If you honed the cylinders yourself with a handheld honer that can be dicey as you are guessing instead of using a shop suited for precision.

The head can have issues worn rods bad valves, bad timing.

May be other issues like cracks.

Best of luck.

Looking for a 2 seater UTV, have seen lots of Polaris RZR around here. Are they the best ? Is there another brand that is better value?

I bought a sawsall many many years ago and have used it on many occasions.<br>
<br>
But then a few years ago I had a project that would best be done by an Angle Grinder.<br>
<br>
Now I almost always grab the angle grinder for cuting metal. The vibration of the sawsall is just too intense.<br>

When snow is dry it really does not matter most of the time.<br>
<br>
But when the snow is sticky clogging is a pain. For years I kept the stupid stone guard on my blower. Then I finally noticed all the walk behind blowers never have them.<br>
<br>
Removed it and wow what difference.<br>
<br>
But still really sticky snow is an issue.<br>
<br>
I have sprayed with Silcone spray mostly, and recently tried WD40 Teflon Dry Spray. I would have to say the the WD40 Teflon Dry spray was better than the Silcone.<br>
<br>
I have seen much more expensive Snowblower Spray has anyone used it? Is it any different?<br>
<br>
I saw a video where I guy rolled Vegetable Oil and that worked! He probably has some happy mice in his garage now that love him :-(<br>
<br>
How do you solve your blower clogging problem?
