I am a mechanical engineer who started a RUclips channel!
I have four main interests that I want to share with you. Instead of the standard how-to I like to take a deeper look into most things and provide an engineer's perspective.
1. Lawn Care and lawn care equipment
2. Automotive maintanence
3. Golf
4. Firewood/Chainsaws
5. Bird watching
6. Home Improvement/Appliances
You don't have to do things like I do, but hopefully you can learn something and decide how you want to do things! Freedom!

Troubleshoot/Fix No Heat - Mr. Heater Big Maxx Garage Heater
Looking to do a garage set up as well. I was just wondering if this one is safe enough compared to the gosports range cage to protect from wedge shots and shanks
Great... Thank You!
That water pump is a pain to replace probably worse than that oil filter housing assembly. It’s sandwiched between the engine and engine mount.
My brand new 2025 Model Y sounds like a window is left open on one side of the car. The pressure it occasionally causes our ears is so silly. Sadly, Tesla doesn't really have customer service and the service centers themselves really only help with the big issues they can identify I am told.
Was there any gasket on the back of the motor where it attaches to the furnace?
The feature identifying birds is pretty cool...wonder what happens if my squirrels invade it?
Have you seen Mark Roper's videos with the squirrels? Fun stuff.
@bikeny Yes...great videos...squirrels are pretty smart.
Thanks for the video going to do this on the wife’s van on days off!
You’re welcome, thanks for the comment. Good luck in the plug replacement.
I had similar smell but ended up being head gasket. The coolant scored the #3 piston and now i need a new engine. Dealer wants $17k to fix.
Unfortunately, I have been hearing more and more accounts of head gasket failures with Pentastar engines. =( I hope things work out for you as best they can.
Had to do this at 64K original owner miles. Hey, great tip on adjusting those rubber bump stoppers. Saved me tons of time and trouble removing trim panels and headliners.
I'm glad this video helped you out some. I'm still loving our Teslas, I can't see going to anything else at this point. Is that you experience also?
After doing everything, including cleaning, taking apart the bin and removing and cleaning the motor it still didnt work. I got frustrated and kicked it quite firmly a couple of times and what do you know, he started up.
I guess a swift kick does work sometimes 🤣. Thanks for sharing!
500 ?????? you can get these for around 200 bucks .... Need to search the net !
There were some options at the time I made the video but nothing available quickly. I needed heat so I went with what was available
WOW what a original video, NOT. repeat of what everybody has been posting for years.
Thanks for checking in.
I have had 2 Huqvarna automowers cutting my 2 acres for about 5 years. The boundary wire needed has become a real nuisance. Would you recommend the Orion over the Luba? have you tried any of the Husqvarna EPOS mowers? Need to go wireless next season for sure. Any thoughts on the Yarbo?
I do give the Orion a slight advantage over the Luba because the back wheel turns and is easier on the grass. I have no experience with the EPOS or Yarbo. I am tempted to upgrade to the Yarbo, the sprayer attachment would be awesome. I’m going to wait for spring and see what new offerings there are.
Nice thanks for sharing
You bet, thanks for the comment.
This was very helpful! I had considered the Luba ... At least before i discovered the Orion X7 with the vision system! GPS + LIDAR is king for bot mowers! I have a much smaller yard, but all of these scenarios were helpful. My biggest problem that I'm concerned about is leaves & acorns! I wonder how well it'll handle those? I guess I'll find out. Luckily i just got a new battery leaf blower that works great!
I'm glad you like the video. I have an updated video here:ruclips.net/video/KNN2Xw-CQZM/видео.html. I have been using the Sunseeker all fall with leaves and acorns with no problems.
That is quick and dirty but I always use sealant to tack down the new shingles to the old and to also plug the old nail holes. I was scared to death of attempting to do my own shingle replacement but it's actually quite simple as long as you don't run into rotted wood.
I would never discourage anyone from using some extra adhesive. It seems like shingles of this vintage (early to mid 2000s) did not seal properly. Thanks for checking in.
Thanks. Wish I would have seen your vid before I took it to the dealership. They charged $150 and probably did the same thing. Said they reset the transmission. Smh
Well, I hope this helps you in the future.
Try just blocking off your discharge with metal or duct tape and mulch them they disappear quickly when they are dry. I have been doing it for years. Good for grass too.
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
After the flush, about how much total liquid(concentrate and water) did it fill up? Mine overheated today and I added half the container and it still isn’t showing in the fill line. No leaks I can see either.
It was just around 3 gallons. I would check out this video for your coolant leak Coolant Leak on Chrysler 3.6L Pentastar V6 - Oil filter/cooler housing ruclips.net/video/0srcjv20u4I/видео.html Unfortunately this is a common problem.
Thanks for the review! Currently between the T-Lok and the SLC-130. How are you feeling about the SLC-130 long-term? Significant improvement or marginal/no improvement?
I like the improvements they made in the overall bag but I still slightly prefer the T-Lok top.
Awesome video
Thanks for the comment.
I'll be in your shoes soon & have an appt set up w/safelite. Just purchased my Model Y a few days ago & a rock hit my windshield and now have a crack more than 36 inches long.
That sucks. As bad luck would have it, I just had a large rock hit my windshield this week :(. I’m thinking about going with an independent shop this time for a cash price.
As soon as I saw your putter go in I knew it was the wrong bag. How do you make such a cool bag and neglect the putted?
Fair point, I don’t love how the putter sits. It is a bit difficult to make a decent slot for the wide variety of putter shapes.
Is the cooler housing not replaceable under warranty?
It should be but I did it on my own after getting the run around. I don’t have time for the lies and deflection.
For the yellow flower weed : fluroxipyr (Starane)
Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try that.
Dear friend , i recommend to wear long trousers next time ! Mask is also recommended. Is there in your country no moosproblem in lawn ? In that case an Fe EDTA could help.
Trousers and a mask is a good idea. I do have some moss in the shady areas but it’s not a big problem.
Good !
Thanks!
Good !
Thank you
What is the drink holder like? I typically carry 20 oz yeti style water bottle with me.
It’s only the diameter of a 12 oz can.
@@TheLawnEngineer dang
@@jakeweaver9790 they do make a mesh pouch that goes under the handle but the standard holder should be better.
You're awesome. You saved me hundreds by not needing to buy a new one. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
At the 04:15 or so mark, you said it's a 6-inch chain, yet your title and the description read as 8-inches. Also, the product link goes to the 6-in model. Are the '8' references typos? How long have you been using it? Is it still doing good since you bought it? Thanks.
I made a mistake on the title, I have the 6 inches. The was the first job of anything changes with my impression over time, I’ll provide an update.
Size isn't everything. At least that's what my wife keeps telling me.
You found a good one 🤓
Thanks for showing that amazing little chain saw. I think I’ll pick one up to do some trimming .
You’re welcome, glad you found some value in this review.
Do you still like the bag?
Yes, still very happy with it.
Excellent idea. Thanks !
Glad you liked it!
So where is cylinder 6? Is it the bottom right one? Thanks!
Correct, front right cylinder is 6
Occasionally I need to spray castor oil / water for ever-annoying moles across two acres. Would this sprayer be a good option or is there something better that’s more recent? Thank you.
This would still be a great option. Most of the newer stuff is battery operated and is nice for consistency in large areas. However, they come with a larger price tag.
You’re the man bro!
Hi we have a townhouse not much walkway and sidewalk and two cars in the street . The one you used looks a little too much for our situation whats the model number of yours please. May research same brand smaller version, thx!😊
This is the only size EGO makes for the power shovel.
I recently bought this product I called Gordon's couple different times and asked how many ounces of product to use in a 4 gallon backpack sprayer which would cover 5000 square feet and it varied anywhere from 76 oz to 100oz per application I'm going to stay with the 76 Oz per application don't want to burn my lawn I will wait 5 minutes then water in just wanted your thoughts how many ounces you ended up using per application thank you
I used at the lower end too, 76 oz per 5,000. I like to fertilize more frequently with less product instead of a few heavy doses.
@TheLawnEngineer doing a granular app in early spring and late fall liquid throughout the rest of the season 6 applications 4 weeks apart
Great video, exactly what I needed to know! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Do you blow your leaves into the woods with your gas blower or piles, bag them and have trash truck haul them away? Your yard is pretty big. How long does it take you to blow all the leaves? At some point I will buy a robotic mower and I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with tree leaves since I have some areas with heavy leaf droppage. I'm considering manual rake, leaf sweeper, or blowing. Or might have to hire a lawn guy and let them mow and mulch them during heavy droppage.
Yes, I blow the leaves into the woods with my gas blower. It takes me ~4 hours to blow off the entire yard with a moderate amount of leaves. There are a few options of robot mowers with collection systems. I would really like an automated solution but I'm not sure that any of the available options could keep up with the amount of leaves that I have.
@@TheLawnEngineer I don't know if you still have your gas mower tractor but have you considered one of those pull behind leaf sweepers? Your lawn looks like it might work pretty good.
@@owlpath4280 I think a sweeper would work well, but I do not have my lawn tractor anymore. it’s also another piece of equipment that has to be stored.
I have the same blower. Love it. The surge button really kicks the leaves!
Great to know, thanks for sharing with everyone.
Hi, can you recommend another LED that would ship next day? kinda need it soon before i get pulled over :P
These are highly rated and a great price:a.co/d/4ao8nvt
First 3.6 I’ve worked on. Easy job but to much little things to unplug and hard bolts to get to. Taking off and putting on the belly pan is crazy just so the coolant hose can be removed for draining
Well said, thanks for the comment.
Yeah pain in the butt for sure. Doing it now
Best of luck on the repair!
I buy chicken scratch because the birds eat it and it's cheap The squirrels are the only ones digging through the feeder for sunflower seeds. The rest are happy for the cracked corn.
Great tip, thanks for sharing.
Does it work to connect with kärcher k7?
I would say it will work with any pressure washer but it looks like Karcher might not use the standard quick connections. If you can find away around that it will work just fine.
@TheLawnEngineer my kärcher is 180bar, so maybe its not to high for this?
Thank You !!!
You're welcome!
why wouldn't you clean the saw before separating parts
I find it easier to do after they are apart but feel free to do whatever makes sense to you.
