Very true!

I can't complain about the stupid thing to much

Bought it last march it's 16 years old came with a 46" mower deck 45" two stage snowblower wheel weights and chains for $500

Still way further ahead to get it rollin again

I just refuse to pay someone else $50/hr to work on it

Hence why I started working on saws

Sounds like a heck of a package at a great price.

The Onan was done for a contractor that thought I was getting one over on him at $35.00/hr. The only reason I was working on it was I know some of the guys there and no one else could figure it out. I got tired of the complaining and decided to figure it out for them....


I hate the fact that at $50-90/hr you don't always get a quality repair.. at most a guess these days. After working on equipment for 32 years I've learned to weed through others guesses and bull. Happy mowing!

Hey Geoff , did you get you're IR ???

I actually ended up giving all my money to the local air liquide welding supply....... $150 for a new stinger and 2 boxes of rods... :angry2: Add in the $300 for the argon tank, and the impact will have to wait a while. I guess this was the better buy, I needed these, and I already have a cheap import impact. If my elcheapo impact wont break it loose, I have a long piece of pipe. :msp_thumbup:

Good , save your money for Ti series impact , you wrists will thank you 20 years from now .....

I have my eye on that new CP. 925 foot pounds of torque, light weight, and a little less than the IR.

I got one of them cheap Earthquake impacts,heavy but it does have some good power. My Nephew gave 700.00 for some kind ? Mine is just as powerful but twice as heavy. And surely won't last like his will. But I don't need it much. Use my 3/8 impact for most everything.

When I think about it , The only thing that I remember growing up that was fancy were our old churches and the fancy cars that the tourists had .....

Had to work on a 4 stroke today......

10 hp B&S...
5 kw gen set,,had to clean out the mouse nest's and clean the carb to get it running.

then ran for stihl,,,valve spring keeper fell off !!

shipping be more than cost of parts .
aint gonna use the old keeper,new one,,spring should be fine,a new head gasket....
cant believe how loose the head bolts were !! not much more than finger tight,,must have been a monday morning motor

We had a CP , it just wasn't tough enough to support the weight of the hoist
Got 3 of them Ti series impact , easy for me to keep them going , about 400$ a gun , I always hope to get 1 year out of them trouble free then anything after that is a bonus .
A bunch of torque in an impact gun can get you in trouble fast when you don't need torque , don't ask me how I know LOL

Yep you sure do have some big ol' fancy churches.......like being out West.......can see 'em from miles away...long before you can see any town nearby....'course that was seen from muh fancy car......the one with the check engine light on!!!!
