One of the old buggers at McDonald's this morning was talking about Herman Cain, and he said "he dunno even where Afghanistan is!" All I could say was: "Maybe not, but he knows where the USA is - seems like every politician we've had for the last 20+ years forgot THAT......". He didn't say a...

One-liners. Long rants. Arguments. Novellas. Just a hello. All of these make up a postcount. I realize Kenny doesn't like the postcounting system. I happen to disagree to a point. I do agree when one person holds it above another member (which I've done, but I'll explain in a bit) it's...

Dead at age 56. One of the founding fathers of modern computing, and the only reason Apple still does things the old-school way. He will be missed. :frown:

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...

This is NOT a joke. The owner of this thing said Maytag made washing machines powered by a pedal-started 2 stroke engine in the late 20's to the late 30's, when electricity was scarce in the country. As electricity came to more and more rural areas, they replaced the gasonine power with an...

Went to a HUGE tractor show today with my son. Here's the lawn mower and garden tractor pics (at least some of them):

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...

This would be a rant done in the key of JD. I noticed the last couple of days, although your name shows up in the 'active users' list, it is OBVIOUS you are not here, and certainly not viewing one single thread for three or four hours, which is what your profile says your doing. Or "viewing...

The owner of the shop where I work is a Buffalo Bills fan. So am I. We are the only two diehards in the whole place :laughing: (The city where I work is just a little over an hour from Buffalo) He can't make next Saturday's game, and he had 4 extra tickets and a parking pass. TOUCHDOWN...

I am back, LMF! Muhammad told me the bot was mis-configured. It's down to only censoring what it oughta...and that has nothing to do with what most members post around here. HOWEVER, it seems some are not accustomed to such forum drama, and I would remind such members this all a VOLUNTEER...

I see now what Blue Corner's problem was - everything is now totally censored. Happy now, PC *****S (I D I O T S)? http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/front-porch/4878-anybody-know-htf-critter-got-our-house-3.html#post32635 Congrats, Ric, You and the moral PC freeks win. I am gone as well. I...

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...

In addition to going on workshare, and getting cited for my hobby, I have another thing that is pretty big that happened in July. Happened about a week before the citation and the 4 day workweek. My big, beautiful, 64-bit, win 7 great laptop? Well it was reading and it got dropped...

this is the funniest thing I've seen on the net in awhile....... Yes, it's a REAL ebay UK auction. Apologies if you've seen it already. After all, it's on FB, Twitter, and almost every forum on the web. READ THE Q&A AT THE END - IT'S BETTER THAN THE LISTING! Mens Pop White Storm Watch | eBay

The suburban, my JDs,everything. Why? Some pompous beaurocrat known as the 'inspector' cited me, and gave me 10 days to remove them. I'm so angry and sad I don't know whether to cry or crap nails.......I am beside myself. I guess this hobby is done! I guess I'll stick to watches - until the...

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...

For those of you reading the group, you'll know I have a love for the watch my dad gave me 25 years ago. I also RUINED that watch 24 years ago.....and have felt like poop ever since. I bought a watch on ebay for it's movement, since it was an identical movement other than there were no jewels...

The Evil Empire? Making TWO products that are at least equal to third party software? HUH? I left MS behind in 2002, when I was running Windows 98SE. I ran Linux exclusively until I lost my 'Net connection in 2005. Got back online in 2011. Things sure have changed. I heard what a...

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...

Glad that Muhammad made a new threshold @2500 posts. So Kenny is no longer an addict. Now JD's a "Mower Addict".......and *BING* So am I......:biggrin:

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...

Anyone notice that, as of this post, Briana has 70 posts?!?!? (yes, in ONE DAY) She's been moving threads around, I see, cleaning house....but, I notice 'Tractor Supply' is STILL in the 'site discussion' forum! Even though we've complained about it's placement RECENTLY!!!!! Just to bring...

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...

Went to my mom & dad's for Easter dinner.....ham n lamb.....:licking: While stepping outside for a smoke, I noticed parked behind my dad's truck was a yellow wheel with a green hubcap on it......no, he didn't....... Found in his barn his new toy - a 1948 John Deere model "M"! Has a bucket...

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...

Early this morning, (while I was sleeping in) the Z&M Ag and Turf guys delivered me a present...... MY SNAPPER!!!!!:dance1: Then, I went over and paid for my JD....and brought THAT home, too! The duel is on! Good Friday indeed!

Does anyone own a mower with this feature? The system where you hook up a garden hose to the deck, turn it on, start the mower, turn on the deck, and it's supposed to 'wash' the underside of the deck. Does it work? What are the advantages/disadvantages to it? What are the problems? I've...

Even Cub Cadet had a rer as of 1998! A 1998 Cub Cadet 1027 Rear Engine Rider. 9HP B&S, 27.5", foot pedal controled variable speed.

Yes, I'm addicted. I just got my neighbor's RX75 (identical to my RX75 I was going to fix up) for $175. I couldn't help it! Runs, drives, mows. Not 3 days after I bought my Snapper.....:laughing: I have had my eye on his mower for awhile now, and he knew it....just was time......lousy...

From the manual itself: 6 numbers, the first four, an options prefix, the last two, a body type, the last letters, an options suffix. - Numbers one and two: Cutting width ( mine =33") - Numbers three and four: engine HP (mine =14HP) - Numbers five and six: Series designation (mine =15)...

Bought from my local JD dealer :wink: - $220 included tax and delivery (was $500 last summer before tax and without delivery....that's $20) - 14.5 hp OHV B&S - 33" cut 3-way hi vac deck w/nose roller, two rear gauge wheels - variable disk drive - as is, where is - no 'service after the sale' -...

In our town, we have a big olympic-sized ice arena. Tonight, they are having ice racing on it. :biggrin: Dirt bikes and ATV's with spiked tires racing on ice. Should be fun! (better be for $25 a ticket)

Don't you hate when your mate hides something YOU JUST BOUGHT on you? We went to the grocery store. Got some candy (not JUST candy, and not JUST for me). Candy I liked (I paid for the whole thing - so it's okay). Ate dinner, was fine at 5. Now it's almost 11, and I want some...

Did LB make their own engines? Or were they made for them? I thought for some reason, that the 4.5 4-stroke on mine was a Tecumseh. I don't know where I got that Idea from......there's no badging on it at all, other than 'Lawn Boy' on the fan shroud. The badging that stuck out in my mind...

Is great. AS IS. I google a lot of stuff I'm interested in with mowers (as I'm sure many of you do), and this one site always had a thread for what I was looking for. So, I joined their site, too. What a complex maze of slow loading, ad riddled, oddly governed messes! Muhammad, don't mess...

This is likely to be a touchy subject, but here goes: Where I live, some MORON planted fast-growing, long needle pines...in a trailer court...five of 'em...about 20 years ago...ON THE LOT ON WHICH I NOW LIVE. I'm sure, at the time, it fit the schedule: "I'm gonna be in the retirement home (or...

I thought this issue was just me, or something I was doing. Judging by the 'animal waste' thread elsewhere, I see it's not. When replying in the text box (particularly when replying with a long quote), you can't use the mouse (or trackpad) to scroll down the message so you can type. It just...

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!!!!!!
