Re: I'm new
Today I'm going to get a new starting capacitor and try it. When I turned on the motor last night it hummed. I gave the pulley a little nudge and the motor took off. I'm thinking the capacitor may

Re: I'm new
Mine engages the bottom rollers only about 3/4, also, but it affects
nothing. I empathize about changing the blade - the fact it's short and

I bought a HF because it was on sale - $161.00 incl tax. They all seem to be
