I just bought this at the tractor show's silent auction for a whopping, bank account shattering $5! This thing is a MONSTER! Feel the rush of power with the 1960's 3.50 HP B&S!!! Make mowing a breeze with the mammouth 21" swath! Simplicity of design with only one fwd gear + reverse! Dunno...

Here's a mid-30's twin-cylinder, two stroke Maytag 3 wheeled rotary mower. (Yes, the Washer people. More on that in the Front Porch later) Missing the handle, but cool nevertheless. exhaust outlets are under the deck - no mufflers 14 or 16 inch no carburetor - you just adjust the air...

COOL OLD UNDER-SEAT ENGINE RIDER! Just went to the Chautauqua County Antique Equipment Association Equipment show today. WOW! In the 'silent auction' area, there was this incredibly COOL old Craftsman 22" (I'm guessing) under-seat engined rider. Features include: 'wind-up' starter...

I am really tired of asking this. We have been told by admin, that we must be attractive to the largest base. THEN WHY DO WE IGNORE THE HUNDREDS OF NEW MEMBERS THAT HAVE ASKED ABOUT MURRAYS??????????? Leave them to 'General'? Yeah, we all see how warm and fuzzy THAT turns out. :rolleyes...

Here it is! This is the Kerry-all cover I got from Lloyd (Kerryall). It's especially designed for RER's. It isn't as snug-fitting as I'd prefer, but it will do the job of keeping rain off the mower, and UV rays off the seat. It's so thick, it stands all by itself! (see pic) Very heavy...

If I have seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times: People get directed to the 'New Members' forum and asked to make an intro, and instead, they just post a question. No 'hi', no nuthin - just "I want an answer....." There is a place for that, and it's in the REST of the forum. Just plop...

KEEP IN MIND, ALTHOUGH I POST THIS THREAD, I DO NOT ENDORSE CHEAP AZ BUSINESSES COMING HERE TO MOOCH OFF THIS SITE!!! Due to the way our Google ads are now (which seems to be our only advertising), I see how it might be hard to legitimately advertise to a fertile sales opportunity such as our...

What is that green stuff landscaping outfits use to cover up newly-planted grass seed? As opposed to the old-fasioned way of straw? You know - to keep the birds from eating the seed. How do you use it, and how can we common folk get our hands on it?

Finally got my neighbor's old Suburban. 16HP Onan twin (flathead, full pressure lube). Six foward speeds, two reverses (via hi/lo range). Cast iron transaxle. Clock-style hour meter. Wheel weights included. Runs great! $100!!! Eat your heart out, Wheel Horse! :biggrin:

Hi all, this third shift stuff (and nice weather) has really limited my time on LMF. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck putting the edging back on a seat. By edging, I mean that strip of piping that holds the vinyl to the pan. The piping that comes OFF over time. Whenever I...

Again, since we all use computers to get here, I'm wondering: Has anyone else BOUGHT the registration to PCTOOLS' Registry Mechanic? I did, and it seems to work pretty well. My girl used my netbook for about a month until she got her own computer, and did a lot of Facebook games garbage -...

No matter how gargantuan the site that LMF is linked to, it will fail if it cannot sustain itself based on it's own merits. It'll always just be a 'me, too' site. But, it isn't that way. It isn't who we are linked to as a site, it's not the administration. It's nothing more than a hot topic...

OMG, IE9 is STUPID fast, and SUCH an improvement over IE8! I don't pine for Opera anymore........it'll take some getting used to - but the lack of 50,000 extra bars has really stripped this browser down to lean-n-mean status! I hate IE as a rule, but this version has really changed my opinion...

Those lovely ads you got for the site, Muhammad? Well, for me, the site speed went down to the level of other bloated flash-laden sites. Right this moment? The ads are down, and I get an error. The site? Back up to the speed that I was used to. I thought it was my connection. Those flash...

I am probably the only one who sees this as a problem, but: I usually 'mark forums read', after I've found all that's interesting to me, so all the forum icons on the main page are B&W. I can then easily scroll down the page to see if there are any forums with new posts in them. (they turned...
