Do Carts and Mowers Count?

[kilobravo]

After spending half a day greasing the mower yesterday, I wanted to give her a good degreaser bath. She came out cleaner than I expected especially considering she is eighteen. After that I decided to wash my poor golf cart which had been abused over the last couple big projects and she also cleaned up better than expected.

​

I had a '14 Race Red 500 before the '20 and hence the reason for the cart colors and stripes. This was shooting match transportation for a number of years until I gave up the sport and now, she is lawn transportation. :-) But she is sorta kinda a Mustang.

Finally, a shot of the two vehicles...

Your car looks good with those wheels.
Rapid Red varies in color quite a bit depending on the amount of available shining upon on it.
Ours seems to, anyway.
Nice looking golf cart as well.

I haven't heard, "Is the Pope Catholic" in a LONG time, D...TOO FUNNY! Of course, I DID remember your previous mower post so I had a feeling I would get to ya. <grinning>

Ok, so we have established that it's acceptable to detail a lawn mower and a golf cart. But the big question is, does the same apply to a chainsaw? Asking for a friend...............................

Helluva job, D and the saw looks almost new. Funny, but I was just changing the blade on mine yesterday when I realized the chain I picked up awhile back was too short. DAMMIT. :-)

So that chainsaw spent the last month getting it running again after many, many years sitting idle. The new bar makes a world of difference in how it looks, vitally important on a chainsaw! I have a couple of cosmetic touches to add and I will be happy. Considering this is a 34 year old machine, I think it looks half that!

HOLY SMOKE...34! Wow. Now I am REALLY impressed. Did it need a new carb?

When I took it in, I basically said to do whatever it needs. It looks like they just cleaned and rebuilt the original Walbro carb, which is probably a good thing as the aftermarket carbs are not that good in terms of accuracy and quality control.

I feel ya, D. Learned my lesson leaving fuel in a lawn tool over the Winter, wound up buying a carb. Run 'em dry is the prime directive now.

I guess they do ......

Got a little low over some indians and I'm thinking they didn't like it much, no tolerance haters.

Had to call out Arrow exterminators.

In the days of leaded gasoline and such, I knew of people putting mothballs made from Naphthalene in their gas tank. It was on old trick to raise the octane level. I asked a few of my friends recently if they put mothballs in their dad's lawnmower tank... None admitted to doing it... I ask the question here... lol. (No, I didn't because my mother didn't buy them.)

That machine was actually stored with fuel for a very long time, as you know, a big no-no with small engines. When I drained the tank, I was expecting it to be rank, but it still smelled like fuel. I'm still shocked at how well it runs now.

Amazing, D. I have a Husqy, but wish I'd bought a Stihl.
