Yes!! It worked. It was definitely the clutch.

I don't know about the quest but the Xa Forces Pro are very durable and the best option that balances support, comfort, and durability.

You're welcome!

Yeah, I used specialized hydraulic jack fluid to be safe.

Just out of curiosity, why would brake fluid be bad in a floor jack?

@@MrOnemanop brake fluid will eat regular rubber seals and cause them to fail.

No. I have DeWalt, Ryobi, and Ego. DeWalt for "normal" tools I use every day as a DIY homeowner - drill, saw, impact driver, reciprocating saw, oscillating tool, etc. Ryobi for obscure stuff and all the random little tools - nailers, bike pump, Dremel tool, etc. I honestly haven't figured out that split perfectly. I'm probably going to lean more towards Ryobi going forward. Their stuff is just so good for the price. And battery tools in general are very good these days. For automotive stuff, I might pick up Milwaukee 12v tools. But I'm not sure I want to chase around 4 different battery systems. I'm committed to ego for the yard. Best in class by a longshot.

No I looked everywhere for the Xa pro 3. The forces edition is the only version left that is essentially the same boot. I don't know the quest line as well but I thought the reviews for the 4 indicated it was as sturdy as the 3

Definitely submit the warranty claim. It's a little tedious, but they were quick to honor it.

It was the actuator. I think I have an update video. Let me see if I can find it.

Here, try this video. I added them all to a playlist - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppWulpuIiL59nNU

@ thank you. You’ve gone into depths on this matter that I wish others would have. Thank you. Seeing your video convinced me to buy the shift actuator instead of the splutch. Going to put it in soon and see. I’ve subscribed.

How'd it go?

It might be. I'm finding now that there's a good bit of lift on the rear wheels when using self-propel. It causes the grass to be different height when my kids use it going up a hill.

I've had them last 10yrs by keeping them on a tender when not driving.

Well, funny story. This one is from a mechanics lean car I got in 2017 that sits all winter and is only driven once a month or so and it's lasted just fine. Going on ten years. It's amazing what a noco charger or a battery minder will do. I occasionally juice this one up for a few days on the maintenance mode of my battery minder and this battery is rock solid. And the post hack holds just even though the battery isn't strapped down and I thrash this kart.

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

Ooh. Nice. Never heard of those until now. I'll try them if this ends up failing.

@goodenoughgaragefamily Ive got a video on how to make Loveless bolts on my channel

Checking it out now! Thanks.

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.

This is what I ended up getting. Dorman 604-875 Driver Side Main HVAC Blend Door Actuator Compatible with Select Acura/Honda Models a.co/d/hpChKn3

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.

This kit has the correct one - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RA78
