what was worse, is when I emailed cub cadet this morning, they just told me that All Power was their own business. Basically, they didn't care about me being a customer at all.

The drive belt came off the transmission pulley and took the cooling fan with it (Fan is mounted to the pulley). I bought the SLTX 1054 VT model. http://ecksteinjr.com/pictures/fan1.jpg

Update, my Cub Cadet is still at All Power Equipment waiting on parts. I'm trying to get a refund. Also I wouldn't recommend a purchase of Cub Cadet from All Power Equipment.

I'm having some electrical issue. The symptoms are as follows: When accelerating (or on the gas at all) the head lights dim. (sylvania bulbs). After 15 min or so of driving, when using the turn signal, the tach needle flips between current RPM and zero in the same pace as the turn signal. Also after 15 min or so of driving, turning on the parking lights and head lights causes the water temp gauge to immediately jump up in indicated temp. Notes: Ground cables are tight as is positive at battery. no corrosion on battery which is only 1-2 years old. Alternator belt is tight. Any ideas? I'm going to try and get my meter hooked up so that I can see the current voltage and if it is changing. Thanks, Rich

Just the A/C Compressor. Was working a couple of years ago. Freon kept leaking out of the system. belt has been off for a couple of years but still spins freely. Price: Free PM or call @ 614 . 332 . 0268 Thanks, Rich

I bought a cub cadet SLTX1054 2 weeks ago from All Power Equipment in Lancaster. It mows great and I love the 12" turning radius. It is however in their shop for repairs after 3.5 hours (cutting time, 1.5 weeks owned) because the drive belt came off and sheared the transmission cooling fan off.

Thanks for the help. Turns out the EGR valve was sticking open. Cleaned it out and now its running well.

I'm surprised that none of the shops had a socket to remove them. I have a set of 4 flip sockets to remove stripped/locking lug nuts. http://www.mactools.com/Product/tabid/120/productid/319176/variantid/309935/Default.aspx

96' Plymouth Breeze with 2.0L engine Engine is showing code P0300 - Random multi misfire If A/C is turned OFF, engine runs smooth if A/C is turned ON, engine has noticeable misfire and runs ruff. You can be driving down the road with no issues and reach over and turn on the A/C and then the engine starts to have a miss. Any ideas on possible cause? Note: was throwing camshaft sensor code and that sensor was replaced. Thanks in advance for any help.

Everything has been sold.

I had Verizon and Sprints websites open to compare plans and Verizon's site popped up a $30 off promo coupon to complete the order today. Takes the Incredible price down to $169. The monthly plan is still more than Sprint through.

I have a Glock 21 for sale.

The company name is Redrock Sporting Goods. He also asked if I needed and .223 or 9mm. -Rich

She should get info in the mail regarding COBRA insurance. I think that you can use that for 18 months. The Federal Government is currently subsidizing the payments. My dad got laid off last July and his subsidized COBRA insurance payments are $146 a month.

Kessler had a higher price, but there was a $1,000 manufacture rebate on the heat pump, plus it qualified for the federal tax credit. I ended up with a 95% furnace and 15-16 seer heat pump for less than I was quoted for a 92% furnace and 12 seer heat pump.

I just had 3 companies give me quotes on a heat pump with propane back (backup can be natural gas, electric, etc.) Call Kessler Heating and Cooling at 614-837-9961 and ask for Dan Carpenter (sales) to come and give a quote. You can tell him that I said to call him. -Rich Eckstein

I was shooting around f11-f14 with iso at 200 (any lower and it goes to L.03, L.02, L.01) I was using a remote trigger on bulb and just leaving the shutter open for 10-20 seconds. I still need to pickup some ND filters.

I saw that too. I think its my sensor and not the lens.

Its a refundable credit. it does not reduce your income. i.e. you owe zero in taxes, buy a house for more than $80,000. you would then get a check for $8,000 if you owe $2,000 in taxes, buy a house for more than $80,000. you would then get a check for $6,000

It might be wasteful in today's world, but it should give the post office something to do considering the general decline in mail and their current deficit.
