One half a cherry tree just dies rather suddenly.
Comments (2)If you cut the limb off, you will see a very distinct area of brown discoloring on the inside if it is canker. I just lost a 5 year old cherry to canker - when I cut it down, the was an almost perfect brown circle in the center of the stump....See More16 HP B&S Vanguard dies suddenly after 30 minutes or so
Comments (13)If it was me I would do complete fuel system clean up. Said this before with that many hours and years on it your fuel system is dirty and about to fail. I would Start at the tank. remove it, clean it out either by swabbing or pressure washing. rinse with gas or alky. Next I would replace all the fuel hoses, fuel filter, install shut off valve, replace the hoses after the fuel pump and the fuel pump vaccum hose. If you don't want to clean the carb. bowl and spray the main jet with carb. cleaner add some fuel system cleaner when you get it filled back up with fresh gas and clean system up to the carb. Also while I was in there I would also inspect the elect harness, switches, looking for loose hanging wires, chafed wires, rusty connections. plastic tie wrap any loose wiring that could get chafed or rubbed against moving parts. If you want it to last you need to do this very few years 6 is pressing it, but not bad depending on conditions you work your equipment in. I would also make sure I check the air filter often older vanguard are fussy with the small air filter between the cylinders. Now cylinders reminds me of cooling fins. have you checked them lately? Might want to revisit the owners manual on pre-ventive maintenance make sure you got all the bases covered. do that and that tractor may last life time???? another thing if you going by the 50 hour oil changes you better be mowing in dust free invoriment?? if not then 50 hours between oil changes is way too long hence extreme conditions in the owner maintenance schedule??...See MoreYoshino Cherry...top half died suddenly.

Comments (30)Just came back from the attorney's office and spent a good amount of time reviewing everything that has happened thus far. He said the contract is automatically cancelled as there is no contractor with a valid license(license just expired this morning) to fulfill everything in the contract. The wife can chose to get her own license to help complete and honor the remainder of the build but it is her discretion. The License Board should receive an application with that request and this could take months to get approved. He said most likely, it would be denied. I could chose to sue the estate to recover the money but did not recommend it(likely no money in it anyway). Bottomline, he asked me to cut my losses and move on and work my energy towards hiring a new general contractor. At the very least, i think he asked us to make a claim against the bond amount which is around $20,000. He believed that would be a good idea and probably would be a no contest sort of situation....See MoreLindsey Armstrong
