Life is to short fellas.........if all I lost from this was a few hundred bucks then what I gained from it far exceeds the money lost. I donated two engines and raffled them off with all the proceeds going to vic. Id never ask for that money back. I will sleep well tonight knowing I did the...

buckeye......yah its me. this little guy has kept me pretty busy and away from the computer. He wants a mini soon though.

you got that right.......that's why I have two boats!! I cant and wont ever complain. there was a time not long ago I had parts for this, that and the other showing up at the door every other day. she never complained once. that's why we are married. we appreciate the fact we both have our own...

My wife's hobby of horses is FAR more expensive then any of mine. Id certainly win the battle if she ever brought it on. Her "pets" have more expensive shoes then I do........:out:

Congratulations! My 1st just turned 8 weeks today. Its THE MOST amazing experience a man can go through. Enjoy the ride.

Our previous truck was a 2007 F350 Lariat Dually diesel. It was good until 70K when it needed some major engine work. Was never the same after that and ditched it. Not to scare you, but id be looking at the Duramax's if I was going back to diesel.

Thanks for all the nice comments fellas. Even with the lack of sleep having this little guy around has been amazing. My wife's family is huge so people have been coming and going non stop since we have been home. He is certainly going to be loved around here. almost 20 years since a baby has...

Proudest day of my life. What an amazing journey it has been. The litte guy didnt want to wait until Monday I guess when the wife was due to be induced. Thursday May 9th at 12:30pm at 7-1/2lbs. Our first child. Ethan James. Alittle smile in this one....I told him he was handsome like his...

Is there any relationship in these Brute Trikes with Brute Snowmobiles?

First and formost id like to say what happened in Boston is tragic and sad. Poeple lost there lives and limbs and some will have to face the hardships that come with that kind of loss. Like many others I was in a "shock" when this hit the news. Kinda like 9/11. "Is this really happening" kinda...

Tank.....you from/in South Africa? My sister and I were born in Sandton and my brothert was born in Cape Town.

Ill snap a picture tomorrow of it. Im pretty sure the belt was cureved on both sides. No dought about it there is a flat side now and im sure if I measured the width of the belt its not what it was. Clearly this thing doesnt line up. due to the angle the inside of the belt facing the engines has...

So heres where im at after a few test runs..................... the tires seem to be holding now i bumped up the pressure a few notches. so I think im ok there. My big concern right now is this TAV setup I bought. It seems to work just fine however I have a crap load of belt dust collecting...

beadlocks sounds like alot of work. would a tube fix the problem?

If they didnt weigh so much I'd say the Kohler k series. K181 or the likes. Good engines but they are dam heavy.
