Where are different length lowering links available? I have found
1.5, 2 and 3 inch. I only want to lower .75 or 1 in. I know that's
not much but thats all I need to get firmer footing on the slick
stuff. I can get them custom made at a friends machine shop for $80.
But he 45 minutes away. I have to buy and pick up a 20 ft. piece of
steel in a different direction. Take the steel to the shop and then
return the next day to pick up the links. Leaving me with over 18
ft. of steel and lots driving time. Thanks for in help.

Harvey,
Don Beck's got the best selection of sizes I've seen. I've got (2) different
size sets of his..3/4 & 1 inch drops. I've also tried a set of the Quality
R&D 1.5 inch drops.
Don includes a do it yourself sidestand lowering kit. To top it all..his
prices are the best. -Scott

Sorry this one caught my attention.. I agree used whatever you use,
but honestly a push mower ? I have had the same 2.5hp push mower for
like 15 years, and expect it to run a really long time still, do not
plan on using it much now, bought a riding mower with pressureized
oil system with filter. Anyhow this 15+ yr old mower normally starts
with a pull or two, (always use the primer however, no choke or
throttle controls) and when I do change the oil it gets whats on the
shelve at that time, typically 10w30 or 10w40 Penz. All I typically
ever use is Pennzoil in all vehicles I own. Even my snowthrower
gets Pennzoil.
As others have pointed out, really dont think the brand or type
really matter all that much, as long as you change it fairly often.
I almost never change before 5000 miles on my Vortec V-6 in my truck,
which is pretty often lately, but again its almost always at highway
speed, so the engine fully warms, it dont do alot of short hops which
will kill any vehicle even with often changes.
Just my $.02 worth
