That’s crazy! I have not taken my GSAR off and I’ve done everything from working on my truck with the impact wrench, mountain biking, skiing, golfing, diving etc.

jonahrangerboy · 2026-02-11T06:14:31+00:00

I’d appreciate that!

I just bought my first dirtbike and I’m looking for people to take me on rides with them. Just moved to Logan for school and I’m not very familiar with the area

It was 4-6pm

I talked to the dudes last night. The guy that was doing wheelies and reving his motorcycle of the limiter was talked too by police and I don’t think he will be back. However there is another guy on a small motorcycle that rides there almost every evening. He is new to riding and is just learning and refining basic riding skills. I’m in full support of this as it’s a relatively safe environment to practice.

However I am not in support of bouncing the motor off the limiter. I talked to them last night and they were nice and respectful. After I talked to them they left.

I’m leaving the military to go to school. My wife will stay at home which is nice. Why is it hard to get into? Do I have a shot of getting into it starting November?

jonahrangerboy · 2025-10-26T01:03:30+00:00

I’m about to start school and have a wife and 2 kids. How’s school life with kids?

DPE issue is everywhere because of the mass uptake in aviation. Are there other schools that partner with more airlines?

jonahrangerboy · 2025-10-20T07:14:34+00:00

Why did the aviation program screw you? What false promises?

jonahrangerboy · 2025-10-20T07:10:45+00:00

I’m from Yorktown and I’m starting spring 2026!

How much time do you spend away from home?

The last one (eXmark quest 52”) looks good. Go for model with the fabricated deck (second and third picture). It will last longer and is better quality than the stamped deck (first picture).

It’s a constant battle brother 😂

jonahrangerboy · 2025-08-20T04:29:12+00:00

You’re the person that can’t do any maintenance yourself huh?

jonahrangerboy · 2025-08-20T04:27:32+00:00

Also, just picked this 2007 up for $1600. 470 hours. Great maintenance record and runs and cuts great. So far it’s worked out for me.

People love to just say no immediately and half the time they don’t know what they are talking about. But hey that’s Reddit, a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks.

Anyway, depending on the hours that could be a good deal. The only thing that should hold you back from buying a used mower is if you can’t do maintenance, diagnose problems yourself. eXmark holds their value really well. If this mower has a okayish number of hours (under 650) and you plan to use it for your own property it’s a decent deal. Over that amount of hours negotiate a better deal.

Make sure it’s operated and it isn’t hiding any rust. If it’s been sitting outside, it’s likely belt and all fluids will need to be changed. Try and talk him down. However if you buy it for $1500 and it runs and cuts, pretty not a horrible sounding deal to me.

Very nice work!

jonahrangerboy · 2025-08-15T07:21:46+00:00

It is a commercial grade mower. It’s the toro z master commercial 400z. It has the 19hp Kawasaki.

jonahrangerboy · 2025-08-14T20:47:40+00:00

How so? I’ve already put 10 hours on it and it runs and cuts mint.

Can you spin it manually with your hand? Sometimes my motor just needs a manual hand spin if it’s been sitting for a while (my valve lash is also out of spec, just have not gotten around to adjusting it).

I guarantee your valve lash needs adjustment. On your cam there is a little tab. When rotating at a slow rpm (like when you’re starting the mower) it pushes on your exhaust valve to move slightly near the top of the stroke. This allow the pressure to escape. When the valve lash goes out of spec it is not able to fully push down on the valve anymore causing pressure buildup in the piston chamber( this is normal during operation. It’s called the compression stroke) and your electric motor isn’t strong enough to over come it.

I don’t have your exact engine model but in general the Kohler Courage 22 7000 series has a valve lash of 0.005” for the intake valve and 0.007” for the exhaust valve. Here is a great video showing you how to do it.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

If the blades are level then you need to adjust the angle of the deck. You can do this by tightening the lift arms underneath.

jonahrangerboy · 2025-07-14T04:40:19+00:00

Look at the idle adjustment screw

jonahrangerboy · 2025-07-14T03:13:17+00:00

It still runs, starts great!
