Not a Kohler but a Briggs Vanguard V-twin air cooled. I switched to Quaker State full synthetic 10-w30 with no leaks or burning. I'm very satisfied.

Also looks like Recreative Industries deserves a whole-hearted apology.
I bought a '99 Max II and darn glad I did; what a work horse.
What I cannot figure is why you were so quick to blame Max as...

Not all is lost; you still have electricity and internet connection.

Curious who foots the bill for all those helo shuttle flights?

Have you tried other insurance companies?

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all members. Remember to write 2018 and not 2017 on all your checks.

I'd say the below zero temps combined with that sluggish grease and only 8 horsepower is your problem. Internal combustion engines are heat pumps. If you can fashion some sort of shroud to keep the...

I had the same problem. I solved it by buying a 2.5# Danforth style aluminum boat anchor. It's so light and compact that it travels with me everywhere. [Well, not at this time of year where the...

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all members of this site.

Nothing against non-christian religions, but I was getting sick of hearing the all too frequent, Happy Holidays.

I'm dreaming of a white...

Good job on the windshield. Not so much on the sideways pics making hard to view.

About 1" dusting overnite here in NW PA. But since it's turned markedly colder and Lake Erie is still relatively warm, the lake effect snow machine is sure to crank up soon. Most reports have the...

Since my 18hp Vanguard is kept in a heated garage, I use Quaker State full synthetic 10w-30. It worked well last year when in the winter I plowed snow almost every other day. So I saw no reason to...

I had no idea Argo's were 50 years old! I do know that when Jim (and now Eva) Shockey travel into the wilds they go by Argo.

Perhaps by their nature Max IV's are harder to shift? I don't know. My 4 owner '99 Max II took a bit getting used to but using the technique Reconrokon described shifts just fine now that I know...

My Max II is a 1999 model with 18 horse B&S engine.

When I needed to slide the engine forward to access the left rear inner bearing for greasing I removed the bolts (the right rear is...

I just measured my '99 Max II's hitch. It is 1/4" thick and the hole is 3/4". Since I'm the 4th owner I cannot say if it came that way from the factory. I cannot see how drilling out your hitch to...

I'd deal with a different bank.

I've read where some folks on this site deal with BuffaloBearings.com.

Isn't that exactly what you wanted when you used 'permanent' thread lock?

Put the heat to it again and immediately tighten it, then loosen. That has always worked for me.

When threadlock dries it turns from a liquid to a crystalline solid. Heating it makes it brittle. Dumb as it may sound, loosening it is NOT the way to free it. First you tighten it to smash those...

I saw a faded green Max II near state highway 19 on a heavy equipment company's stone parking lot this spring. It was right near the street. I don't recall seeing a 4SALE sign, whether it had round...
