Put me on the list that the auto response is talking about.

Anyway here's the email.

I guess we could just talk on here. lol

I asked what mowers you have. What do you do with computers, and stuff like
that. I play music, but is probably different than what you like. I am looking
into landscaping and of course lawn mowing commercialy and doing something with
computers. We have a tech college called ITT Tech around where I live. What do
you do with them? Hope you get the message this time. Scott

i had a bunch but got rid of them but i've got one 6.0hp craftman and all are briggs i might add. one 3.5hp murray, one antique you could call it murray rider 8hp, one noma rider with the 12hp i/c engine. one spare mower 3.5hp engine rebuilt, two weeders, a old briggs that needs new points etc. one spare 10hp snapper engine needs rebuild, one 18hp dynamark cast iron sleeve engine as a spare. one 5hp and one six horse horizontal shaft engine the 6 is a ohv. i work on computers some like rebuilding them and fixing some bugs in them when they act up and i put hard drives in and install programs and such nothing big more than most though. of course my computer is old need to get a new one but its overclocked a little and going full power. i just went ahead and listed my engines. my 3.5hp murray includes a tweeked governer to run faster.

If you make the engine go faster than the governed speed, isn't that dangerous? That's what all the manufacterures say. But anyway, you have some stuff!

who cares i've got a spare in better shape but old before it was rebuilt i took the linkage off filled it with gas ran it through 8 ft tall grass. all that went wrong with it was it only ran off the gas for two minutes and i blew the breather gasket. still ran but it was old and needed new rings and a honing. i put some instant silicone mechanics gasket maker never blew it again. never slowed down in the grass. i forgot since i was mentioning my engines i've got a four cylinder olds made in 88 needs to be rebuilt. one 80 caprice classic 267 ci v8. runs like new except for the air conditioner pump squalls from being to old. the 88 ran good until i got mad at it and left it out for five years. its got a wiring harness short when it gets wet. i love my chevys. and briggs.

I like american made stuff. Except when it comes to cars, I think some other countries make better transportation.

bugman
11-19-2004, 03:27 AM
yeah but chevys are an exception

bugman
11-19-2004, 08:19 PM

I think ford is built better. But the chevy astro was one of the best they have ever made. When I was little I used to love them and like the interior and I drue pictures of them. That was one of the stupidest things I did when I was young. We got one after our old chevy malibu finnaly gave up along time ago. It was probably around 1994. We bought a coversion custom astro from 1987 from some lawyer who's son was handicapped and couldn't use it. It was AWSOME! At the time of course. We took it everywhere. And around 2003 we finnaly bought a ford expedition 2003 model. The new design one. It's blue and has leather inter. and we have a dvd player in it. We deserved it after our astro was falling apart and my dad had to do a lot of repair work. But it lasted for a good while. To bad the cars today don't last as long with all the crap they put on them.

the old chevys are better. since like the ls1 engine which is alluminum but with cast iron sleeves. the full iron an steel engines were the best. most are still going today. mainly because they are wear resistent rather than alluminum. one way to cheat death on alluminum is to have the alluminum parts and block titanium oxide dipped then use synth. oil which produces little to no wear

Scott15

cars today are crap! EXCEPT FORDS.

bugman
11-21-2004, 09:08 PM
all manufacturers have some bad ones in the bunch.

Scott15

Just like mowers. You have to be careful when buying. You never know what you're getting unless you look at everything.

murrays are good, mtds have had some real bad problems with them sometimes, sears craftsman are great, and snappers and deere riders are good along with snappers pushers but some can be bad. they ain't made by hand you know. those really old sears riders which you might as well call them tractors because they are stought as hell can take one serious beating. the frame and all are three or four times thicker steel than your riders of today. like the one i rode the other day. had a stought regular 14 hp briggs horizontal shaft engine with a stack, never rebuilt. the things more then 20 years old. runs like new. cuts grass like a finish mower. the man i know who works on engines too bought it for $150. no rust, good deck. thick deck too. those old ones where better than most of these new ones. the man just didn't want it.

Scott15
11-23-2004, 09:10 PM
I think you're right except for murray. Their riding mowers are the worst you can buy. I have a friend who has one his grampa got from home depot last year. And It is already trash with minimal use. It has a briggs i/c 13.5 which is still good. It's just the mower that's bad. Snapper mowers today are alright. But the ones from the 70's and 80's are awsome! But today they are good as well.

What mower do you think is the best?

bugman
11-23-2004, 09:41 PM
those old murrays were good. only a couple today i would consider good like their 12.5hp briggs powered 40 inch cut. any bigger and problems occur with the deck and all. murray push mowers are good too. i've had one for five years, thick deck. to me sears is the best. the warranty is almost next to none. the old sears tractors were better though. snapper is just as good. but the 12.5 murray rider is better then all other murray riders. there's people around here thats used them alot and they take good abuse but the bigger ones have problems mostly with cutting/ most don't cut right

Scott15

Craftsman's warranty is good. But Toro Super Recycler mowers are truly the most outstanding mowers you could buy. Toro is simply the best. The sr has a 5 year guaranteed to start warranty. I only like snapper because it dosen't have that stupid personal pace system. otherwise, toro is a superior machine to any other. But I see what you mean about craftsman's warranty. You said craftsman's warranty is almost next to none. But it's really second next to toro.

bugman

thats what i mean almost but they will replace it no prob.

no not right now maybe in the future. i'm going to have to get other stuff done to it right now. like oil pan and trans

bugman
11-25-2004, 01:56 AM
plus i've got to have the motor taken out due to the pan since they made it with a slight dip and i'm going to have all the crap stripped off it (oil) needs the heads cleaned the pistons and all plus all new gaskets so i'm going to do that maybe in a year or so.

lol.....i just caught my boo boo.lol

bugman
11-25-2004, 02:14 AM
nice. i might if i feel like it put a super charger on since i really don't want a turbo. they cause too much heat and you can't put headers on. and put a flame kit on so i can hit the switch and have flames come out the pipes. but later in life not now. gotta save up the money since it doesn't come cheap anymore

bugman
11-25-2004, 02:16 AM
haha boo boo

Smalblok355
11-25-2004, 02:17 AM
flame throwers like that are outlawed everywhere if i'm not mistaken.lol.....
for a supercharger you can get the Vortech kit for the Holley carb's.....i seen a few and they make nice power...and that was on smallblock chevy's.most were making over 750hp

Smalblok355

bugman
11-25-2004, 02:32 AM
i don't like sort compacts like honda. now toyota and nissan you can get some good performance out of their straight sixes and v6's but not for me i'll only drive a chevy. #3 was my favorite car and #8 is now.

Smalblok355
11-25-2004, 02:33 AM
well the Toyota trucks V8 block is a smallblock chevy! it is cast into the block GMPERF

bugman
11-25-2004, 02:33 AM

Smalblok355
11-25-2004, 02:35 AM
i had a g/f who had a nice 95 Civic Ex Coupe and when she let me get my hands on the engine she was amazed at the power it had when i was done.to start it was making 220hp....when i was done......430hp at the wheels and she was going nuts over it......car went from a 15second car to a 12.78second car int he 1/4mile..nos nitrous,turbo,or supgercharger.all raw nuts

bugman
11-25-2004, 02:35 AM
huh guess thats why they don't go against chevy much since the chevy engine is one in the same. those toyotas can run like hell though. mostly the old ones.

bugman
11-25-2004, 02:37 AM
nice but i still don't like a honda they all don't got that deep growl.

Smalblok355
11-25-2004, 02:38 AM
heck the Celica's(new one's) have the cavalier Ecotec in them but with Toyota's badges on them.........lol
if i was to get a Toyota vehicle i want the Lexus IS200 or IS 300 and do the Toyota Altezza conversion to it

Smalblok355
11-25-2004, 02:39 AM
