Yeah. I think the micarta could be sanded but it actually works great to have them a little proud of the surface. And so far holding up to some pretty extreme abuse.

Use some loveless bolts

Spray paint. Simple rattle cans from ace hardware. I'll do an update video soon. It's not perfect but it's holding up great!

Well, that's sort of what the video is all about.

Yeah. I've sort of come to accept it. I think the new models spin a bit faster and even have the option to use that higher speed all the time. That's what I need/want. More control. No reason to not offer this unless it stresses the batteries too much.

Sorry to hear that. I definitely have switched over to Ego for everything. But I have DeWalt power tools for construction work and they've been bullet proof.

What was this in reference to? I suspect I've unplugged the motor since doing this. Why does it need to be reset.

If you knew him better you'd think differently.

Harder to remove than you might think. This is "good enough"😎

I go over those areas with the buffer but it doesn't do much and I don't spend a lot of time trying to get that area perfect.

Yes, leaves need to be very dry and have turned brown.

Yeah we normally just mow where they lay but sometimes end up with piles due to kids having fun.

I wouldn't assume they are the same. I've done this on a 2004 and they were very different.

@@goodenoughgaragefamily thank you for responding.

It did for a while. But it eventually failed. I took the old one out which defaults to all the way cold. I have a new one to install. Takes 2 min.

I don't know. I can run pretty fast. I won my 3rd grade 90 yard dash.

Not a huge fan of Costco at the moment. Not finding anything that's meaningfully cheaper than Aldi and by the time I make 2 of 3 impulse purchases while there I end up spending more than the alternative.

That's fair. We used to go to Aldi a ton, but we haven't been in a while and there's no real good reason. All the meat I've ever gotten at Aldi has been really good.

Glad to be grandpa approved. It's funny but this is the only remaining gas engine we have for yard stuff and it's also the best briggs I've ever had. No choke, no priming, easy to pull, starts right away. I've done nothing to the motor after I changed the oil and sparkplug after getting it.

Remy. Named after the rat in ratatouille. It has a 454 Chevy big block in it. Also referred to as Rat motors. And this little boat is awesome. It does a little bit of everything and creates a ton of lasting memories. It's like a little unexpected chef that cooks up good times!

Everyone needs one of these. It's maintenance free fun.

I actually think it's the front wheel wobbling. But I'm not sure. The motor likely isn't powerful enough to make that kind of noise.

I haven't slammed the drawer but any sort of normal closing has been fine. So far I've never had a wrench move out of its spot.

You're stealing the show with your poetic replies. Was this ChatGPT generated?

I'm not normally a patient person, but after the first few you see here, I was able to modify the technique a bit to move much faster. Probably finished the whole thing in an hour and a sharper knife would have cut that time down even more 😝

Na. They work great. Grass stains don't really impact their function at all.

I think you're correct. A few others have said the same and files are designed to work in one direction.

Indeed. Grateful for the freedom to have fun!

So far this one has the same fuel pump in it from around 2008 that I changed with the 42 gal. fuel tank sitting in my lap under the truck. A little harder to remove what's above the fuel pump on the suburbans. ;) That is the only time this vehicle has stranded me. Fuel pump died while on a date. Ended up marrying the date so that worked out well.

Yes. Nothing like some social pressure to amp up the swing rate.

What do you find that isn't good about it?

They are amazing old boats. I've been super impressed with ours. It takes a good bit of work, but they are such simple machines and most of the work is really rewarding.

@@goodenoughgaragefamily how long have you had it?

Nice 👍

Sorry bro. I'll do better next time.

What is the correct raker guide size?

Thanks for this! Watching again I realize I'm not sure why I started filing both ways. Definitely would have been better to have a vise. I have a good one in the shop I just decided to sharpen on the saw outside.

Sounds like you've got a wiring short in the handle. I've had five of these now and everyone has worked perfectly except the first that I bought used with a known wiring issue that was quite simple to fix. Compared to the complexity of an internal combustion small engine, I'll take this every day. The newest aluminum deck model looks like a beast. I hope to review it soon. Any new tech will have some issues but the trajectory here is clear. Battery power will take over.

So sorry for the delayed response. It's this one if you don't want to buy the Ego brand. Oregon S62 AdvanceCut Chainsaw Chain for 18-Inch Bar, 62 Drive Links, low-kickback chain, fits Husqvarna, Echo, Poulan, Craftsman, Echo and more a.co/d/0ikQRtix

No we still had to sand and seal it with polyurethane. After a few years of use I wish we had used the hardest possible sealing product because it's scratching easily. But it can be sanded and redone pretty easily.

Yeah.

They are pretty old at this point. I wouldn't say anything is common. My steering cable needed to be replaced. I've done a good bit of engine work but all maintenance type things for a 60-70s style car engine. I got a new prop which made the boat much stronger in the water. I've messed with a few electrical things but it's all pretty straightforward stuff. One thing I learned really quickly is working on this is not like working on a car in the sense that there's no part list that just always works. Inboard boats of different brands can have more in common than two of the exact same boats depending on the motor and specific configuration. You have to get good at understanding these old motors to keep them going.

@@goodenoughgaragefamily Yes, I bought a 1988 TriStar 190 with the walkthrough cabin. There's a lot of differences in engine replacement parts. SKIDIM has been quite a reliable source for me so far. I absolutely love my boat and I'm willing to keep it on the water as long as I possibly can. I haven't had any trouble sourcing parts as of yet.

I have the exact same cab configuration.

@@goodenoughgaragefamily what prop did you go with?

@@goodenoughgaragefamily actually my boat looks almost identical to yours. Same color and everything.

What about it?

@@shunt4845the paint is not enamel , it is porcelain/ceramic. The guy in the vid is saying it has enamel paint which is wrong. Enamel will fade fast in over 250 degrees F

Thanks for the comments. Apparently it is porcelain enamel coating.

Yeah. It's pretty loud. I think it's a brushed motor. It isn't bothersome when mowing though. Honestly you only hear it because the blade motor is so quiet.

Yeah, the mulching isn't incredible. I often end up going over the yard twice when it's super thick. But I used to do that with all other mowers I've had so it's not that big of a deal.

Sorry what's the question? The bar is pretty easy to take off and reinstall. No harder than any other saw I've used and the single hand tightened tension bolt is nice.

It isn't terrible but it's nothing like the responsiveness of toro personal pace. However, they are super light with even the 7.5ah battery so pushing it is a breeze.

This was definitely true for this task. I learned a lot and have learned since from comments.

I don't think Ridgid makes a chainsaw. Do you mean Ryobi? If so their 18 inch saw is $379. The Ego CS1800 is $369 on Amazon right now... I don't get the "irresponsibility rich" comment. I've also probably saved 10 gallons of gas using mine already. That's another $30-$40 in savings. I agree, these aren't ready for full timber work but for every day yard clean up and limbing downed trees they are perfect. Gas gas a short lifespan. These will replace all gas powered machines eventually.

I actually got the tub nearly in this condition. All plastic had been removed. There was an aluminum nut that melted after the first fire so I welded the tub to the shaft.

That’s what my problem is I can’t get the plastic off the top and bottom

Take a flat top screw driver and pry it off

@@ericputman9150 I burned it off lol!

Thanks for this tip!!
