Plus I keep my soil in the garage. I think that's where they come from. Spinosad for the win. Once a week rather they need it or not in veg. That way I don't get them in flower.

I would keep my soil in the basement where it's safe from those little bastutds but I'm not strong enough to carry a bale down 15 stairs to the basement.

Two five gallon bucketfuls at a whack would be my method.
Im working on a J Deere L110 42-inch lawn tractor had a bad head gasket
New gasket installed, but very hard unscrewing one of the head bolts. After unscrewing it I noticed what appeared to be metal set paste/metal epoxy on the threaded end of the bolt along with there were tiny pieces of the steel on the threads too.
This head has never been removed and was purchased new, so I gather they repaired it at the factory after someone over torqued it.
OK now just wonder Kohler Engines sells a head bolt thread repair (Bolt) as a single item but no further description
Have you ever heard of a self-tapping steel repair bolt to go into an aluminum engine block, without using a Heli-coil insert.\?

Nope, but if the local auto parts store can't come up with a helicore, I'd retap to the next size bigger.
I was trying to avoid that , I found a bolt on ebay that said it was head thread fix it bolt. for 7 bucks I ordered it. If not I will tap it to next size.
Its 20yrs old and motor is tired so I am not sinking much into it
Its my spare in case my other lawn tractor goes down for a week
I also use it to pull a yard cart instead of pushing wheelbarrow
I’ve seen many cheats done without helicoil insert including drilling the stud and using Locktite but helicoil is the best for repair imo.

My L110 FrankenDeere has just shy of 900 hours on it. Deck got tore up using it out in the back field, so I bought a donor Deere off of CL for $100. The deck was perfect, the tires looked good, but the guy claimed he'd thrown a rod through the case. Mighty funny that I could fire it up and drive it up on the trailer. Already stole the deck off of it (bare deck is $375), the seat, ($125) two wheels and tires (God knows), and the front steering linkage. Got my money outta the donor, but there's still parts to be had.
I'd have kept using it 'til it rotted into the ground, but I know the Old Hen doesn't have the ability/desire to keep it on life support, so $4500 later, I've got a X350R. She'll be using that long after I'm gone. I still use the 110. Rides better on my less than perfect spine.
