Man I got a mower and weedeater down here I should just give you to fix or use for parts.

Me too. I have a Stihl and a Ryobi weedeater, both need gas lines and the Stihl needs some TLC. The little coil or pickup (or whatever it's called) on the Stihl has two mounting bolts that go into threaded holes in the head, and one was reamed out by whoever owned it before. I think I need to fill it with JB Weld and tap it again. Without it being in the right place, the pickup won't sit the right distance from the stator so it won't get a spark.
Got an old Murray 12 horse rider that might be of use to somebody, too. Motor was running, but steering linkage and left font tire pivot thing is wallered out.
I gotta get rid of some :crap: or fix it so I can use it!
My new truck (new to me) had a warped rotor, so I ordered a set of drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads off ebay. They came in this week and I changed them this morning. Nice to be able to stop without it stuttering. Also pulled out the bedliner, and decided I ain't putting it back in. A lot rub marks and scratches in the bed, and there were leaves and dirt under it. And the paint on the bed rails also was rubbed to the primer in a few spots. So I ordered some spray in bedliner, hoping it will come in before next weekend so I can get it sprayed. I pulled the bedliner so I could figure out how to mount a hard cover I bought from a guy in Ft Myers last weekend. It hinges in the middle, locks at both ends, and is made of aluminum. It's designed to be mounted to the bed rail with clamps, so I had to decide if I wanted to cut holes in the bedliner, or take the liner out. Once I saw what that liner was doing inside the bed, I knew I wasn't putting it back in.
So tomorrow I'm going to prep the bed for spraying by buying some Trisodium phosphate to clean it and wet-scuff it with a red Scotchbrite. Then when the spray stuff comes in I'll just have to tape it off, cover the rest of the truck, wipe down the area to be sprayed with acetone and a tack cloth, and then shoot it!
Don't know if I mentioned getting the truck. When my Mazda blew a head gasket a few weeks ago, I started looking for something else. My dad's neighbor owns Charlotte Honda, and they got in this 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4X4 with only 71,000 miles on it. It has the 4.7 liter V8, p/w. p/l, cruise, a/c and is in great shape. It's white with platinum-color rockers/fender trim, and I've enjoyed driving it. Once I get that locking cover on the bed I can carry a couple of fishing rods, tackle box, cooler, golf clubs, etc. with me and not worry about somebody just walking by and grabbing my stuff.
Laid down the donkey punch! lmao :toast
