My 99 F150 5.4L owner manual specifically orders, 5w30 weight oil. I've used it since new. At 170k my engine has the usual tics, and sounds.... But nothing unusual. After 26 years, I purchased it 12/98.... I have had driving pleasure, change oil, twice a year, filters once a year. Only change is I switched to synthetic about 10 years ago.... 5w30 works fine for me.... No worries!
to those that say " i dont know why they dont machine it perfectly at the factory ". Even if they did machine it perfectly wear and tear with make the bubble glowed of Wack, that is why it needs to be adjustable a.k.a. Recalibrated from time to time
Do you happen to know how to get the top cover off the Pro 450? I need to tighten the screw on the control switch. I can’t get the mixer to shut off all the way.
"i don't know why they can't build the thing where it's balanced from the factory". They can, however they cannot ensure the surface you place it on is flat and square to the top of the tool. Hence the adjustment screws.......
Dude! your video saved me a ton of money and headaches!!! i did the same thing - bumped the wire while checking to see if anything had come loose. My pin burned and melted in the same spot.
Thanks for posting this. I was trying to decide between getting the echo w trimmer and blower or trimmer and edger deal. This blower is weak. My Ryobi I could stand by that car and blow that grass across the lawn.
Funny you mention this. I have noticed I have less grip the past few times I've mowed the ditch. I guess I've worn them down. I've been considering putting them on backwards to see it it would help.
I replaced one that burned out. A few months later the new one burned out. Had the replace the blower motor to fix the problem. P.S. It's a pain in th3e ass to get to.
@@SkylarHillShop apart from the tricycle axle layout, there's very little difference between the two models. I believe the C and CA had very slightly more hp than the B.
Mine is over 20 years old. Never serviced. Just stuck and started grinding. Working out if I attempt to fix myself or send it off to a repair shop. Might give it a go myself.
Good stuff, just missing the bolt sizes on the one you fixed top left behind the coolant. this video doesn't go to the mount/support underneath so with this and another video i was able to understand what to do. thanks
These types of tires don't work in reverse... And if you spend them you've dug yourself in... Turf tire can you use a oscillating tool to cut off every other row... Straight bars... They work forward and reverse, just buy the tool and cut up all the tires you want...
The primer bulb is not actually a primer bulb. It's a purge bulb. It only purges air from the fuel lines so that the choke can work effectively to pull fuel through the jet.
The first rule of working on hydraulics is to clean everything thoroughly before opening it up so no dirt can get inside. If that thing had a second chance at life from the fluid change, the dirt that fell into it will certainly cut that short.
Proper way to test a leaf blower is to lubricate the nozzle, start engine , and insert as far up your rectum as possible. Then lock throttle on full power setting.
