Look at what BMW is making their paint out of now. “But since the waste-sourced coating is nearly identical to the oil-derived version, it can be produced on short notice.” That’s funny! BMW probably encourages their employees to clock in before going to the crapper! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonPacific Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 My wife took the photo and apparently her camera was in "portrait" mode which added the tilt-shift effect for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Damn, it’s hot! Temp for the next 5 days is 100* with a wind chill of 107* -112* . But, we are supposed to get some needed rain (30%) in about 10 days. Glad I’m not a roofer or concrete guy, or even employed! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coop Posted November 2, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I recently celebrated my 10 yr anniversary of being a member of this forum, although my family and friends didn’t seem equally as excited. Looking back, there have been some amazing woodworkers that have left us for some reason or another and others that have filled the gap. I’ve learned a bunch with all ten fingers still in tact. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously haven't checked this thread for a while, completely missed this post a year ago. Congrats! @BonPacific I work for a major OEM competitor of Deere's turf division as the head of the customer service department. Here's what I can share with you after almost 20yrs experience: 1) MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE! Read your manual and follow the maintenance schedule. Change your oil(s) on time, buy them from your dealer or have your dealer do the changes, and document every service. Not saying that you'll ever have trouble, I just want to you be prepared if you do. 2) Avoid the pressure washer. High pressure water can force past bearing seals and cause bearings to fail prematurely. 3) If you have trouble, your dealer is your best friend. If you can convince them that warranty should cover the repair, he'll argue with Deere on your behalf. 4) Engine oil is cheap, buy the good stuff. There's a difference between automotive oil and air-cooled engine oil, stick to a Kohler/Kawaskai/Briggs oil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
