Great. I think I'll go out and purchase one! Especially since it seems that every time I pull out the paper filter after mulch mowing, a good bit of dust comes out after tapping it. Couldn't find any info from Briggs on washing the pre-cleaner...just regular soap and water, just water or something else to clean it? And I guess no oil (not sure if a 675 series is horizontal or not)...just let it dry and put back in? Thanks

Thank you for all your kind words. Loki's name suits him for he can be mischievous. But I kiddingly tell him he is still with me only because he is such a handsome boy and I have to forgive him when he looks at me with those brown eyes. He gets a pool but I don't have one. There is something wrong with that picture. But I feel I have to keep him cool due to the hot summer and his heavy double coat.

Often "Factory Authorized or Factory Certified" means nothing more than someone from the company sat through a 2 hour training course or watched a training video that told them what they already knew. In some cases, it means nothing more than the factory authorized/certified the dealer to sell their products based on the fact he was able to pay for them. The only certification that means anything IMO is the AAMA Installation Masters Certification. But, even that doesn't guarantee a good install nor does it mean that someone who isn't certified won't do an excellent job. It always comes down to the same thing, get recent references and call them. If you can, go by the job and see for yourself if it looks like quality work. Don't rely on certificates or time in business to be too much of an influence. I don't mean ignore them, but don't assign them too much weight. I'd rather have an enthusiastic installer with a great work ethic and a ton of experience who just started his own business working on my house than an old established company who views me as just another customer.

In 1879, Thomas Seymour, Edward Irvin and Clarence Wood Scott founded the Scott Paper Company and made the first toilet paper sold in rolls. In 1879, Walter Alcock created toilet paper on a roll, and used the perforated toilet roll instead of the common flat sheets. In 1890, the Scott Paper Company made its Waldorf brand toilet paper in rolls. In 1897, Wheelers Company began selling and marketing standard perforated toilet paper on a roll. In 1921, Waldorf brand (by Scott Paper Company) represented 64% of Scott's total case sales and this company became the leading toilet paper company in the world.
