I’ve had USAA since 1988. Never had an issue with anything. It’s not the cheapest anymore but they don’t hesitate to cover what needs to be fixed. Either with the house or a car.
What have you done to your ride lately?

Yeah they got very expensive and they no longer cover farm/ranch properties and/or equipment. USAA is going through some layoffs, financial woes right now and they are being investigated...

I’ve been with Allstate since I started driving. Expensive, but never had any hassles.
Saw they were getting investigated for a few issues.

Never had any issues with Allstate for my vehicles. Still have them. But they dropped my house insurance because they said I had branches touching shingles. I didn't. I tried to prove to them that I didn't and they essentially said they didn't care, there was nothing I could do to make then not cancel my policy. So I moved my house insurance back to Farm Bureau. The best part is Allstate never told me through phone calls, email, or snail mail that they were cancelling my policy. I had no clue until I got a letter from my mortgage company telling me I owed them $500 for insurance since I didn't have any.

I would have canceled my auto policy with Allstate, fuck them. Do t give them any of your money.

Well they're like half the price of taking it to Farm Bureau because of their accident forgiveness. I checked. As soon as my wife's driving record clears up I'll be dropping them.

Spent some time on PMs on the mower deck after doing the lawn. Put a fresh set of blades on, installed new anti scalp wheels, cleaned up the spindles real good, changed the gearbox oil, scraped clean under the deck, and greased all the zerks. Should be good to go for another season of mowing.

I added a front tie down point to the bumper from 5Eleven Designz
Loaded up my buddy is borrowing it this weekend for some landscaping, the new front tie down points work nicely.

it’s mostly used as my lawnmower but having a small FEL for doing misc things around the yard is nice. Don’t need a wheelbarrow
. Only downside is it can’t lift a super amount but my neighbor has a full size 580CK I can use whenever if needed. Having one this size is nice because with the turf tires it won’t leave divots in your yard when mowing. There is balance to size when considering what you’ll mainly be using it for. I bought mine brand new almost 9 years ago, the price of similar machine today is ridiculous.
Had a tire with a random leak on it on my S60. Took it in and it's not repairable. Back two tires are almost needing to be replaced so four new tires later and I got the car back yesterday afternoon. I drove it home on a regular road and managed to pick up a staple which put a hole in the tire and the last couple of blocks driving it home shredded the inside of the tire. Discount is replacing that tire at no cost to me today.
Discount also managed to lose a lug nut so they gave me four free wheel locks to replace that one lug nut (they tried to say I brought the car in missing one lug nut). I'm also pretty certain they scratched the inside of two of my rims but I didn't take pics of each wheel before turning the car over to them. I'm going to be taking pics of each tire & rim now before Discount works on my vehicles again.
Also got to find out my alternator on the Tacoma took a shit as well so I got that on order. It's another mechman 240A alternator since my last one made it 10 years.

Changed the engine oil in kubota today then mowed the lawn, After looking at this, I don’t put too many hours on this machine, averaging about 15 hours a year
Of course I am trying to do some repairs on the Tacoma and I cannot find my 22mm O2 sensor socket. I texted my Dad who had it last and he loaned it to a neighbor who is in prison again now. So Amazon it is.
The vapor canistor purge solenoid was a stupid easy install. It was may 10 minutes to include lifting and closing the hood.

instead of the socket you may consider this, I’ve been using one for the last 3-4 years and I find it reaches almost any car’s O2 sensor and most important it’s not as easy to lose as a socket, I tend to lose those specialty sockets I’m sure they’re somewhere in my shop with the rest of the 10MMs
Thanks. I hope to not need to touch another O2 sensor for another 10 or 20 years. At that point I will let a shop do it.instead of the socket you may consider this, I’ve been using one for the last 3-4 years and I find it reaches almost any car’s O2 sensor and most important it’s not as easy to lose as a socket, I tend to lose those specialty sockets I’m sure they’re somewhere in my shop with the rest of the 10MMs
