  • zero turn oil too full and smells like gas. Also blows oil out dipstick.?

    I just bought a zero turn mower with a 19hp kawasaki engine from local dealer. The tractor has 700 hours on it. I was going to start out by changing the oil. Well, the oil is overfilled and smells a little bit like gas. Also, if I take the oil cap/dipstick off, there is some blow by along with a mist of oil. I've had people tell me the motor is shot and others say it's normal to have the blow by on these motors. If not normal then what could be the cause?

    The mower starts and runs pretty dang good, doesnt smoke out of tail pipe as far as i can tell, and I paid $3500 for it. A 2010 Gravely Pro 48Z.

    Thanks for your help.

  • 2008 John deere 830 Z-trak blowing oil out of oil fill?

    I just bought a 2008 John deere 830 Z-trak with 750 hours on it. I happened to start it with the oil cap off and noticed that it was spraying oil and some white smoke out of there. I know this is really bad in diesel engines but what about these?

    Thanks

  • Value of vehicle in "poor" condition?

    KBB only does fair, good, very good, and excellent. What's a ballpark estimate of the drop from fair to poor? Mine runs good and rides good but needs a paint job, has a slight oil leak, and the airbag light is on. It has high mileage. I'm 75% sure it qualifies as "fair" but I would like to know "poor" value fir negotiating purposes. Thanks!

  • What to do about septic backup under my house?

    I have just bought a house and it turns out that the exit pipe from my house to the tank was busted out. Also, the tank was full causing all of our waste for 6 weeks to dump in our crawlspace. We didn't notice it until about a week ago when it started to smell in our house I crawled under the house and saw what looks like around 2 months worth of feces, water, toilet tissue, etc... I have had someone come and fix the issue temporary but all I knew to do about the crawlspace was to shovel some of it out and spray the water hose now I am lost. What can I do to try and get my family by? Maybe just wait till it all dries up and that's all? Please someone give me some advise because we spent our entire life savings to get into this house and the home inspection didn't point this out. Home inspectors only give you the $300 back that you paid them when they miss things. Thanks in advance.

  • Flex duct under house?

    Ok. The house we are looking at did not have central heat/air. The owner installed a 2 ton heil package unit (the house is 1200 sq ft with 8 ft ceilings). The duct work under the house is all flex duct. The plenum is a 24 inch flex duct with 4 runs coming off of it that are all about 25 ft long and are also flex duct. The plenum is laying on the ground and the runs are held to the joist every 4 ft or so by a fabric strap. In between the straps there is about 5-6 inches of sag in the flex duct. In your professional opinion, is this acceptable procedure?

    Only people who are knowledgable in hvac please.

    Thank you very much!

  • Can I use playstation network in my area?

    I am buying a house in an area where Infinity/Comcast doesnt offer service. I am wondering if anyone knows which internet providers offer fast enough internet for online gaming in more rural areas so I can check with them and see if my new house is in their service area. The house is not in the sticks, just on the outskirts of a tiny town and is right off a major highway, if that helps.

    Thanks!

  • What criteria does a home have to meet for an FHA loan?

    We are qualified for an FHA loan on a home. I have heard that FHA appraisers are very strict when looking at a house. Problem is that when we make an offer on a house, they charge $460 for the appraisal. If the home fails to pass we have to pay the $460 again to try another house. Can anyone tell me exactly what the guidelines are on an fha loan? This $460 gets very spendy more than once.

    Also, any info or tips on the buying proccess will get you an immediate "best answer".

    Thanks in advance!

  • How can i get my sick puppy to take a pill?

    My puppy had parvo and now is back home but still vomiting. She has to take an antibiotic pill twice a day but when we give her the pill she throws up when we stick our hand in her mouth, thus ruining the pill. Are there any tricks to get the pill in her without doing this? Thanks

  • My dog is still sick. please help!?

    My puppy had bloody stool and vomiting for about a 24 hour period last week. The next morning we took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with parvo. They kept her for 3 days on an IV and whatever else. They called and said she was doing better and to come get her. We paid them $500 and went on our way. She still was lethargic with vomiting but we figured they knew more than us so we left. In the 2 days we have had her back home, she is still vomiting foam, she wont eat the canned food they sent home, and she just lays on the couch all day. She wont drink water and we are just worried about her. I need advice because I cant afford to take her to another vet.
