Replacing Zero Turn Mower Tires
Replacing front tires on my zero turn mower. The new tires were an Amazon special but they are solid rubber versus the old pneumatic ones. I had to pound out the stock bushings and replace with different diameter ones in order to fit the bolts back through.

Camper TV install
Переглядів 5414 днів тому
Installing a new ONN 32 inch flat screen TV in my pull behind camper. Initially, I was going to make a plywood backer board to help support the tv, however, my bolts were too short to make that work. Instead, I used two washers and a locking nut to better distribute the weight on the backside of the wall. I do take the tv off of the mount whenever I am pulling the camper and reattach it when I ...
Installing New Outdoor RV/Camper Speakers
Переглядів 12114 днів тому
Removing the old busted 5.25" speakers from my camper. I replaced these with new outdoor/marine grade Pyle brand speakers. I used the "slim" versions to accommodate the shallow wall depth of the camper. This was done on my 2018 Heartland Prowler but would apply to most RV/pull behind campers with an outdoor speaker setup.

Unboxing, setting up, and using my new Craftsman benchtop jointer. I purchased this for right around $300 and so far it's been worth every cent. Pretty good tool for the money.
Changing the Oil in Westinghouse Generators before weekend storm

Changing the oil on my Westinghouse Dual Fuel 9500 generator and Dual Fuel 4500 Inverter generator ahead of a weekend storm. Fortunately, power was not lost during the storm but it's always best to be prepared!

Fixing A Broken Pull Start On My Weed Eater/String Trimmer
When powering your house through your 50amp connector, do you run in bonded or floating mode? I enjoyed your video and thanks for posting. 👍👍
I noticed that there isn't a gasket on your drain plug. Nor on mine. Same generator. The user manual lists a gasket. Plus there isn't a torque value printed for the drain plug. Just tighten. As a former auto mechanic I like having a torque value to work with. Well it has never leaked.
Might think about spending another 15 minutes on what you did when storing. Drain carb bowl. Remove all fuel from tank by siphoning bulk out. Remove small fuel line near fuel valve to drain remaining fuel. You can even use your air hose on low to blow out any remaining fuel from carb with drain bolt removed). Then store it. No fuel anywhere. I stored mine for as long as 8 months or more that way and it starts always on first pull. No Stabil ever. 15 yr old generator.
Where did you get the ramp the wheels are pulled up? Thanks!
These are from harbor freight
If you don't have ramps, you can slide a shallow baking pan underneath to change oil. It only holds 1.1 quart.
I use a used 5quart oil jug I cut out a large square on the side of. Cap to allow draining. Slides under nicely. Also permanently tie wrapped a plastic piece to the frame that allows draining oil to channel exactly where you want it to go
I use an electric hoist that I bought from Harbor Freight.
If you don’t use it constantly. Maybe start it for like 30 mins every 3 months. Does the oil change have to be done after every run?
Yes, I agree with you. The manual says to change the oil every 50 hours of run time or every 6 months. That sounds like a long time to some but if you're running it constantly during a power outage, you could easily have to change the oil after just a couple of days of use.
How did you power the house from the generator with 30amp or 50amp transfer switch or did you run extension cords?
I've got a 50 Amp transfer switch that I connect the larger generator too. It will run everything that I need (well pump, 2 refrigerators, 2 chest freezers, tvs, lights, fans, etc.
The most common and economical method is to back feed into your main panel with a 50amp breaker and an interlock. There are plenty of UA-cam videos showing how to, or hire an electrician.
@@michaelblodgett4704 A friend of mine is a retired professional electrician. I had him install the necessary wiring, switches, panel. ETC.
How do you know if the gas tank is full. It has one red bar does that mean it's almost empty or almost full
When the tank is full, you should have a solid red bar
Grab yourself an SX model Fumoto Valve from Fumotousa
You just taught me something today. I appreciate it, brother.
So it's okay to leave the gas in it if not in use for a while or til the next black out as long as it has the fuel stabilizer? Thank you
I believe that the stabilizer claims to keep fuel good for up to 1 year. I use mine enough throughout the year that it only ever stays in there for 4-5 months.
If available, buy ethanol free gasoline. Also, you should treat your gas in your can and not in your generator. Too much Stabil will erode gaskets and seals. If you use ethanol free and don't store for more than three months you don't need stabilizer.
I use gasoline without ethanol in all of my power equipment. It's pricey but worth it. Especially for 2cycle. Plus I add Stabilizer for storage. And run it at least once a month.
From the day i was born, i was bad to the bone 🎶 ride the wheels off of it. Don't let them Harleys riders get to ya. Ride safe man
You might consider getting a vacuum pump to extract the oil from your inverter generator. A lot less messy and no need to tilt the machine.
Great idea!
What was the main problem? Valve leaking water into bowl? And pump surging?
The water wouldn't stop running after letting off of the pedal. It tends to be a common issue in these camper toilets.
@@BradleyWolfe Buddy of mine has camper toilet that does this hooked up to city water? Bowl fills up about 3-4” water after about an hr. I will change the pedal dump valve an put a shutoff like you did but use smaller valve. Thanks for video and explanation!
Why didn’t get smaller ball valve? Or just take handle off an cut 1” off an put bolt back in would have fit!
I started mine every month and replace gas every 3 months 😊😊😊 Then I’m AllWAYS ready ❤
smart move!
Perfect. Use ethanol free gas if you can get it.
Shadow's are great Bikes. First thing to check out is the wiring harness right under the seat. It has three yellow wires that go to the stator. the harness is known for shorting and melting. Other than tires, shoes and Oil, thats the only thing Ive had to replace on my 97 since 97. Many good safe rides to you!
Thanks for the tip!!
Im about to buy a 95 shadow for $850 , looks and sounds good im gonna check the harness when i go see the bike this week , thanks ! @bosndangreene1857
STUPID MUSIC. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT.?
Would be great if someone said how much oil does it takes and what kind as well as in the gear
You know it'd be great if you told us what kind of oil it takes
It's just conventional 10W-30
It is on the oil stick cap
@@BradleyWolfe oil for air cooled engines is different than car oil. Has more protection like zink
You seem nice I’ll sub
Thank you. Very much appreciated!
Beautiful sight though
It sure is

Cute dog :)

Great soundtrack to the video creedence is always a good listen nice !
Thanks!!
This makes the best homemade pizza in my opinion. You can do this at home by just placing the dutch oven into your oven. The end result is closer to a deep dish style pizza because of the way that the crust rises up around the edge of the dutch oven. Try it out and let me know if you have any other things food that you would like to see me make!

An easier way to do it is to cut them down to 10 foot sections pop all the hangers lock them together, then run them over, I fill the trailer every couple weeks like that
That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip!
Why the music?
Just my personal preference/style for longer scenes
