    also the full flow / variable flow button on my machine just sets weather triggering any of the switches will give you full flow or not ...in variable flow you can get slower flow with less thumb movement of the toggle switch if you are trying to move an implement slowly for any reason

    s150 suddenly revved, maybe a ghost?

    Bucket teeth add on

    typically you don't put teeth on a bucket ...teeth wear out ...you either bolt on or weld on shanks that the teeth are then attached to with pins of one type or another .. quick web search brought up these guys ...http://www.messicks.com/dept/BucketTeeth.aspx.... their prices are typical ..i use...

    331 thumbs
