953 nut 55,280 #2 Posted April 25, 2023 Better secure that little bit of extra weight in those plastic bottles. Wouldn't want them to fall off. Aerator spikes would puncture them and kill the grass. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,632 #3 Posted April 25, 2023 @953 nut thanks for the reference , did not mention KROIL OR RED SPRAY GREASE , have a regular track down on issues , initial problem is always related to another close point . thing that consistently shoes up is much easier / function along with reliability . figure if you are right there , with a related issue , why not make that better while you are there . just me , but the basic starting problem issue ,is a step by step , make a change , correction . often suggest something that was not there , but if you had the problem , made a change , and the problem is gone , isn't that what you want ? keep my fuel tanks full, sta bil in all my gas , fuel check valve , 2 gas filters , detail in choke function . lubricate related cables , super lube . starts so easily its ridiculous. realize this is not what many want to hear , its not in the book , but it sure does work . keep correcting , lawn spiker , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
