20 bucks for turn outs holy smokes then boots are 90 bucks the Helmut and face shields are easily 80 bucks the under shroud is 68 to 70 bucks and pants are nearer to 65 to 70 bucks you made out great
These Honda liquid-cooled engines when they were still being made cost as much as a small car engine. Similar engines were used in their RV generators.
About 20yrs ago we caught the sears fixit/waranty center top brass scraping over 2 dozen nice delux green craftsman push mowers with most being the self propelled & big rear wheel type… Naturally we bought them all at a few bucks each scrap price, about $5/per 100lbs back then, & took them home to figure out what was wrong… Can anyone guess what it was & how much the parts cost to fix each one? Hint, same problem with every one, its nothing really, but on this motor they had holes but no threads in a key area involved with the fix… Therefor the service center would have had to tap a few holes to be able to install the new part… Regardless of this simple solution & the shearer numbers of customers returning brand new $300+ lawnmowers, they gave everyone new ones every time rather than doing a little bit of work, almost one a day on average…we were stumped when the trailer loads kept coming every month like clockwork for at least 2 yrs, untill design was altered slightly to accommodate the tool needed to install the relatively insignificant part that killed the new mowers .. & made us a lot of money to boot.
In my area of Oklahoma they have what we call the 100 mile garage sale. People come from Texas and it stretches from northern Oklahoma to southern Kansas

That is a Nomex head shield for your fire helmet, the white cover in the bag.

Is that duct taped pickle jar a makeshift cupholder for a brewski when mowing?
