If you want a black undercoating check out Daubert Nox-Rust 121B. I believe it's the same product GM is using to coat the frames on some of their heavy duty trucks. It's well priced. It can be applied over existing coatings and rust.

Some things are best left to professionals. I have more on my plate than 2 people should have. I have several tool boxes full of tools and one of them is my wallet. I use what ever tool does the job correctly and others I hire out. $ is often wisely spent and eliminates ? In many cases. There are many reputable businesses and also many unreputable. Do your homework and make wise decisions. Have a Great Day.

I had the pressure washer out the past 2 hours. I am going in and changing my clothing for some painting. I have clothing I wear for painting that don’t matter while I am wearing them. I hope everyone has a pair of clothing like that. Good Luck and Have Fun.

I was getting the fuel tank ready to reinstall and used some OD Green nylon strapping as my isolator. I think it holds up better than tat paper and looks good. I used adhesive to hold it down to the tank and the metal straps. I see no problems. I removed the tank and it was wrapped in tar paper and OD Green duct tape. Big mess of sticky crap. Won’t load pictures again. Oh well on with the day. Be Safe and Take Care.

I have been using the mower. And yes, I like it. It is not a Honda, but it will do the job. The controls are not as comfortable to the hands as the Honda. After 40 years of using the same mower, I guess it will take time to adjust. Next year I am buying a remote mower and putting lawn mowing in the past.

Dang Right!

It goes out and runs around, goes back to the charging station and "gasses up" and does it all over again. Only thing you need to know is that the remote lawn mowers WILL NOT deal with tall grass...

Husqvarna 115H shown above works really well on flat ground. Start it up and it runs the lawn in about two days, rests for a couple of days, then does it again. They are pretty amazing!

It has been a long hot day her in south central PA. I have the fuel tank back in and the skid plate. I want to get some screws for the interior cover. I installed a new fuel sock and the new straps were bolted on both ends and they were easy to install. That nylon webbing worked great as isolation filler. I used seat belts on the past. Time to get the rear springs and the rear axle back in. Take Care. Thank you for looking. I hope you can use some of the information.
