Even though I have a lawn tractor I still get beat up a bit.
I got the lawn tractor, Stihl weed wacker, chain saw and leaf blower all tuned up and ready myself. It took 2 days but I did it. Things I used to take for granted and could do in an afternoon now take two afternoons and an evening.
The hardest thingI swear you don't realize how hard it is to pour oil into the opening when your hands won't stay still for a second...thank goodness I had an funnel.
Also my hand tight was tight...people used to cuss me out because they had to use a wrench to loosen something up I tightened up by hand. Now my hand tight is just a tad beyond loosey goosey...I actually had to use a filter wrench to tighten up my oil filter. I had to go to Auto Zone and buy one.
It is hard to beat Amazon. I even buy most of my clothes from them anymore.Major Kong wrote:Oh and for the record buying your filters, plugs and other maintenance things from Amazon is much cheaper than from the dealer...and faster too.
Even out here in the boonies where you're so far out you have to go back towards town to hunt with Amazon Prime I get things faster than what most of the stores can do and cheaper too.Bay_area_Hokie wrote:It is hard to beat Amazon. I even buy most of my clothes from them anymore.

I get many of my clothes and shoes from either Amazon or Duluth Trading (great stuff)...I even get most of my shaving stuff from Amazon.
