While digging out my Echo, I found this little gem (got it for $10 at a yard sale): A Wright Model 111. Anybody know about these saws? What might be the vintage? It measures 11" cut. No chain. Figure a 12" will work, if I can't find a bar........

My neighbor gave me this trimmer - he couldn't get it running - so I did! That's my leaf blower attachment. Cool thing about this is, althought I think It's a Homelite, it's made by (or for) John Deere Consumer Products! I've seen simmilar 'expand it' (or as Homelite calls it 'versa...

I have a four-stroke, self-propelled (belt driven) Lawn Boy. I really like it, and it cuts well. But, the deck is shot - and it needs a re-ring job. I have seen several decks on ebay (mine is the steel deck). But, the ones that are the naked deck don't seem to have accomodations for the...

Which do you think is better? New, with a warranty, or used with no warranty, but 10 times the machine for the same (or less) money?

I put a link to LMF on my facebook, so all my freinds know where I hang out. I hope this is okay? :confused:

Apparently, a RER with the JD logo on it still survives.....IN EUROPE!!!!!!

I was playing around on google and found this (reportedly made by Gilson for Ford, as well as Lawn-boy):

I notice there are an awful lot of MEMBERS in the bottom stats. All those green names! Looks great! C'mon guys (and girls), get posting! Nobody answering? Post something else somewhere else! Try a different topic, we have plenty! Great to have all the new members here! Welcome! :thumbsup:

I must admit, I haven't a clue about this. Dethatchers seem to be one of those attachments you're supposed to already know how to use, before you buy it. Which one is best? The spring-kind, or something else? When do you do it? Now, or after the ground firms up more? Can they be set for...

So, you look at an ad for a mower. 190cc 8.75 ft/lbs torque Hp - none listed Looks okay for the weedeater one. Its a tiny little RER. 9 should be enuff. HP? The Hp rating is 6.5 horse. Now that's a number I'm familiar with, and that's pathetic. I've used 8hp RER's, and that was barely...

See how I highlighted one part of my quote, and left the rest, to leave context? A neat, useful trick that'll work on other forums.......:wink: I could then respond to myself: They are here And I'd be lying to myself, because there are no shortcuts on that page....:laughing: Odd, when I...

This is the same EXACT mower as the snapper! :eek: Sears Craftsman COMPARE: Snapper RE Rider

If you're looking for a Snapper RER, take a look at this, and tell me what you see? Sears Craftstman 28"RER IT'S THE SAME MOWER, RIGHT DOWN TO THE HI VAC DECK AND DISK DRIVE!!:eek: If you're skeptical - Snapper RE Rider

This thread won't have anything to do with lawnmowers, either.:laughing: But, it is kinda related. We are all here, every one of us, through a computer (even if that computer is a cel phone). I have win 7 64-bit on my laptop. It's nice. But, when I go to shut it down, it always installs...

What's your opinion on this "safety feature" on every riding mower these days? I personally think it's lawsuit paranoia run amuck. Honestly - if you're so brain-dead you can't watch what you're doing while backing up - you really have no place on a riding mower. I'd find a way to disable it -...

St. Patrick's day is almost upon us (this thursday, in fact)! Share your favorite way to make corned beef! Here's mine: Small head of cabbage, cut into 8ths, bout 2 cups water corned beef, fat side up, with the spice packet rubbed on it. Then coat the top of THAT with yellow mustard &...

Just bought a 'MrBeer' at the mall yesterday. I do love my beer! :wink: Anybody here have one? Any suggestions? How'd it turn out? I haven't played with it yet.....and to ruin a batch of beer would be a sin.......:biggrin:

What was the name of the tecumseh gear division? I can't remember it......but they make all the cheap-a--'d aluminum transaxles on just about any rider that costs below $2g to this day........ Starts with an 's'.......this is driving me crazy...... AND......how do YOU pronounce 'Tecumseh'...

I've noticed other forums (I shall not name them), have some kind of automatic thing that allows the forum to render perfectly in a mobile browser. I noticed LMF does NOT have this. Can it be remidied? Or is it too expensive/not avail. on this forum layout? (appreciate Muhammad's response...

I'd kinda like to do an IH theme on this tractor. In the white area, I'd like to put a custom decal that reads "MURRAY OHIO [next line in smaller letters] MANUFACTUING CO." I want it in red, simmilar to what the tractor is, or best, in chrome/black outline. Any suggestions where such custom...

Man, is it just the NE, or has this been the meanest, nastiest, longest b!tch of a winter we've had in some time? It'll get windy as the Wizard of OZ, go below zero - then dump 2 feet of snow on us - stay as frigid as the arctic circle for 2 weeks, then warm up to 50 - then flood, repeat. And...

Let's keep this to lawn and garden-type machines, single or two cylinder, two or four stroke. My favorite is 4 stroke B&S, and here's why: B&S, IMHO, are the longest-running, simplest, cheapest to fix, most abuseable engine on the market. Bar none. I have never had luck with tecumseh...

I have a 4-stroke lawn boy that's just like the two-stroke one Twostroke has for an avatar. The deck is falling apart. The tecumseh smokes like crazy. (go figure) The blade was on UPSIDE DOWN, and the 'wings' were ground off But it mowed as well as my snapper (the best cut I have, by far.)...

Anybody tried that new VIA Starbucks coffee? I did, and man - I can't believe it's instant. I detest instant coffee. The wierd funk in that swill is as bad as diet soda's fake sugar - makes me sick thinking about it. I guess I'm spoiled on real fresh-brewed coffee. I have a keurig brewer...

After thinking about it, I decided not to promote someone else's forum here, I'm sure it's against the rules. Oops

Doesnt this look a lot like the Weed Eater One? Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

This spring, I gotta think about next winter: I can get my hands on a 55 gal plastic barrel (weight thought here), and am thinking about cutting it in half. I can fabricate a lightweight frame for it, too. My question is: Will a variable speed tractor (one with the sliding center pulley)...

Boy, JD's parts post really fired me up.......So, I'm going to rant a tad here, too - since what I have to say isn't directly related to his thread. Feel free to chew me out for my opinions if you like... What exactly is this "new service-based economy" supposed to consist of? People going to...

Hiya. Just wondering - do those of you that mess with restorations tackle one project until it's done, or (like me) do you start multiple ones, and bounce from project to project as your boredom (and/or frustration) increases with the one you're working on? :wink:

Back in the 90's, when I used to mow my next door neighbor's yard, he had a lot of interesting stuff. A tiny Rupp mower, a '60's JD 110, an old 8hp Wheel Horse.....he was an auction hound. He also had a Wheel Horse simmilar to our '76 rear-discharge model. Same style hood and dash, but it was...

I got back online after a six-year hiatus, the same day I first posted here. Thus, I entitled it "Hello, world!", a common phrase a brand-new programmer uses as output for a successful first program. Six years ago, I lost my job. My buddy let me mooch off his connection. Between looking...

I've been to several Lawn mower sites over the past 2 days, and they all have forums, or newsgroups. But, they're all dead as doornails. the last post on many are from months ago! I know it's not the mowing season, but how has LMF managed to be as alive as it is? I stumbled across it from a...

I wonder if anyone else here has run into this: My neighbor gave me an old bolens push mower, and it had a 3.5 briggs with an odd rope-pull starter. It was set up just like a modern electric start (with a toothed flywheel, and just a flat screen atop it, like elec. start), but the 'starter'...

I did a quick mockup of what the real colors would look like. Had to redo the tampo with a sharpie!

Greetings! Hope this site is what I've been looking for. Been to other places, but they don't quite fit me. I have always enjoyed the bulletin-board style forums (vs. newsgroups), and look forward to both helping out when I can, and also getting help when I need it! I own more mowers than I...
