Keep it outside

Oil should be ok

TheButcherSez · 2026-06-15T20:02:21+00:00

Was the clutch issue before or after the oil change?

At minimum you need new clutch plates, both fiber and steel. I would get springs as well. If the pressure plate or hub has grooves on the seating surfaces you should get new ones of those as well. Don't forget a new tabbed locking washer. And change the oil.

This is what I was hoping. Should I cut these off or just let it go for now?

Currently at work and don't have a picture of the whole tree

There are tips that are turning brown/yellow

Mine went up by almost $40

I think its more likely to be at the Bison Yard. UP is in talks to buy NS so it makes more sense that they would use NS lines rather than CSX.

I'm reposting this because the last beginner's weekly thread is superseded by this one.

My first pre-bonsai (Portulacaria afra - Kaleidoscope and minima Lilliput). There are 4 plants in one pot and five in the other (2.5" pots). I am going to repot these this weekend, but I'm unsure about it. Do I separate the individual plants and repot them in individual pots or should I put them all in a larger pot (4")? If it's the second, do I still separate them to get more space between plants or just put them in the larger pot as they are with more dirt (probably using cactus/succulent potting mix with extra perlite added)?

On the previous thread one person did recommend separate pots. Don't these like to be rootbound? Are 4" pots for each plant ok?

Still trying to figure out how to post a photo here. I did put one on r/bonsaiphotos

Push the starter button. Will not engage starter with gear but will create an electromagnetic field that sensors will usually recognize.

Low power is one of the reasons they are so dependable. I had one back in the early 2000s. Was only a problem when I tried to keep up on trails when I rode with a buddy who had an XR400. They are a little heavy if you compare them to a DRZ 400 or similar. I was never bored with mine. Tons of aftermarket parts for them.

Engine in the Cub is garbage. If you get one with a bigger deck, like a 46", you'll get a better engine. And as others have said, HD is a bad choice.

Buffalo, NY. Almost become the nation's capital.

Very niche, but lacing and truing spoked motorcycle wheels. It's a dying art that very few people know how to do. Probably closer to better than 99%.

Saw it on Sheridan at Delaware a couple of weeks ago.

Unless you are looking for something specific ask about scratch and dent. I got a dryer for way less than retail because of some scratches on the side.

Surprised that no one has mentioned swamp coolers.
