Just needs to be pulled thru the dirt a few times and nobody will know its not yellow.
The Honda engine has a built-in fan that should keep engine cool. Have been thinking to add extra fan to get more air in-out of engine room.
Can't so much about engine (either), but if muffler don't let exhaust out easy I guess engine will have to fight harder to get mowing. Will test with new exhaust pipe.
Yes, yes, know wrong color on ripper but a soon model is up running good, all paint will be gone
