    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    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...

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Well it’s done. Got a new X350 with mulch kit getting delivered Monday. Paid more for the Kawi engine but I prefer that over Briggs. Thanks for all the input.

    There's a JD dealership in Comber. I sent them a request for info and availability on the S240 and X330. I like the 4yr warranty on the X330.

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Sorry, I just found your reply. Having some analysis paralysis that's for sure. Flat ground, 1/2 acre and 6 mature Norway Maple trees to go around. Not in a hurry but needs to be bloody easier and faster than when I last push-mowed it, that took almost 2 hours because of all the broken twigs...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Like the Fiat 500e, it was savaged by reviewers on YT. As a compliance vehicle it had drawbacks, but owner's impressions were positive if kept to the expectations and limitations. Interior is nice, especially on the GT and the suicide doors are cool. My son was looking at a local used one at...

    Cardo packtalk battery replacement

    There should be youtube videos on cracking it open and replacing the battery. I'm on my 2nd aftermarket with my Sena 20 but the unit's over a decade old now.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Was at a function yesterday (food smoking course) and a couple at our table have a Wagoneer EV and a Mazda MX-30 EV. Wagoneer has been a nightmare for issues but the Mazda has been trouble-free for the last 3 years. Mazda gets the town-duty only at 170 Km range at best. Used prices on the...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Almost at the point where the Level 2 charger is paid for with the PION rebate. Feb was a cold month and July saw a lot of driving back and forth to new place (80km)

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Adri, most new DCFC installations sans Tesla are tap and pay, same with Electrify Canada, Flo and others. A lot of Level 2 stations use Chargepoint and NFC from your phone, so it's just a tap motion. Tesla has now began selling their DCFC units to 3rd parties, they are tap and pay as well...

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    So like TV's made for Best Buy, there's some features changed/missing. JD seems to be the major brand in my area but I found a nice Kubota diesel @ $7500+tx. Missus is having a hard time with that, especially for 1/2 acre.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    We had a woman absolutely rail against EVs on a local Reddit sub. Anytime they were mentioned she would come on and say how unreliable and undependable they were and that the whole point of them was a failure. After some queries it turns out she had purchased a new Mach E (awesome EV) but, had...
