    What would trip the main house breaker?

    Yes I do recall that being mentioned. He's a fast talker that moves at the speed of light so I'm still processing things. House is going up for sale next year so I'm hoping it was just a fluke. New place is only 100 amp service so that's going to be the challenge moving forward.

    What would trip the main house breaker?

    Nothing found. I set the level 2 charger to 40 amps and ran the pool pump, A/C, toaster oven, 2 gaming PC's, telly, fridge and freezer like that night. Nada. No heat marks, some slightly loose connections. Infra was cold except for a warm (26.3C) pool pump circuit but that's 20 meters of 14/2 on...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    My 275/45/21's are going to hurt the wallet come replacement time. Most of the wear I suspect is from high power application and high-regen. There's a light on my commute that I can get through normally if there isn't an advance green at the light before it. But if I have to wait after the...

    What would trip the main house breaker?

    Siemens panel. Never had issues before. Electrician said he has a thermal camera he can scan while I use the level 2 charger for the EV.

    What would trip the main house breaker?

    I just ran electrical cords to the equipment, no fancy back feed or anything. Anyways, got an electrician from work coming next Tuesday to check out the panel, it's 25 years old now.

    What would trip the main house breaker?

    Power went out during a storm yesterday. Lightning was right on top of us. I pulled out the generator and went to work keeping the fridges and sump pump running. Local news said power was out in my area so I patiently waited. 3 hours later it's getting dark and I notice the houses around me...

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Awesome. Did you get the mulch kit? I haven't put mine on yet but need to, it flings grass and **** everywhere.

    Not familiar with that trans but if you can measure fluid height and temp it can probably be done.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I changed about 2 L of CVT fluid out of my Jatco CVT on my Jeep Patriot FDII every year. Used my PELA extractor and a dipstick level gauge to refill. Pulled an 18ft bowrider every summer with it. Sold it 12 years/200K later and it still ran great.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I distinctly remember when the mid to late 80's Maxima was all the rage in Toronto. Chrome applique on the lower door panels and a gold crown tissue box cover in the back window. It was a good looking vehicle.

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Yeah I don't have an answer for that. This new place is surrounded by incredibly nosey seniors and they all have ring cams or the sort.

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Spacemaker shed or those portable ones made of tubing? You can also get custom lawn tractor covers or just throw a Tyvek tarp over it. I have a 10'x16' wooden one I parked it into fortunately.

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    There's definitely zerks on the steering spindles, as to the rest I haven't familiarized myself yet. Probably do a full look-over this weekend to verify what's all there.

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    I did my first cut yesterday. It looks like Hellen Keller did it because I haven't mastered all the approach angles and keeping straight lines but I enjoyed operating it and feeling all farmery. Bush bar and big-ass flood lights are next, just because I can. Seconds after I took this picture my...
