If the rocker stud is larger, then the wall on the polylocks are smaller. So...wouldn't a 3/8 stud with a stud girdle be the best compromise? Absolutely not. The 7/16 polylocks i have are the same wall thickness as the 3/8. OD is increased of course. If they have a "standard" .550 od yo f...

Bigger is never worse in this case. 7/16 all the way. If the rocker stud is larger, then the wall on the polylocks are smaller. So...wouldn't a 3/8 stud with a stud girdle be the best compromise?

Good fan...GM 4 blade is the best but they dont make it anymore. There are copies out there (CV products)
good pump..i like the stewart stage 3
no belt slippage
shoot for about 6500 water pump speed
NO RESTRICTORS

400's are hard to cool. especially if its a stock block.

That Vette is an animal. Can't wait to drive one. I always loved the Z06

Didn't trump fix healthcare costs yet? I thought we were gonna have the best coverage with no cuts and it will be less expensive for everybody??

Engine oil here. Never an issue.

FWIW that price in the picture is about average for that size of mower. Yes like we said, he bought a cheap unit. Dont expect alot. It was clear from the first post Gary didnt want a discussion. No questions were asked. It was just a crybaby post. Man up and fix it and buy better quality next time.

Your welcome to buy me something else mr big bucks... the Craftsman I bought off my neighbor was $65.00 and I got 3 years out of it with a little oil and some air in the tires.

No thanks, I'm not a liberal. I prefer people make their own way in life....

I believe JD is still JD but yes Cub and many others or now owned by MTD. It does have a heavier deck, frame and a peerless rear diff and is why I went with over the cheaper stuff.

Judging by the price in your picture...you bought cheap. Dont expect alot from it.
