I would like to give a shout out to all the mothers out there in wishing them a Happy Mothers Day today. It is your day to put your feet up and to be appreciated for all you do to keep your families going throughout the year and also for putting up with the fathers like me.

I Love Craigs List as I was browsing the farm and garden section this afternoon I came across this ad that said: It is a heavy duty Craftsman tiller (made in USA). It has 1 flat tire and looks a little old, but the engine works fine. It will start in a few pulls. All you need is a new tire...

It takes two to handle this saw and it's got to be hard on the back but oh does it make short work of a huge log!:laughing::laughing:

Any of you old timers remember these. Why did they quit making them? They are really a great way to start your mower. I recall them from back in my childhood. Are they easily adaptable to todays pull start engines?

Thought this would be a fun thread. :biggrin: Please post pics of your mower working, from the usual mowing grass to the unusual whatever it may be. Looking forward to seeing the many different tasks we do with our mowers. I will start the ball rolling with one of the uses I have for mine...

From some people will buy anything. Not to be outdone by Lamborghini's new SUV, Ferrari is introducing the F55 Taglia, the worlds fastest lawn tractor the first ever with a V12 engine. With its 400 bhp and six forward gears, the F55 is able to hit speeds of up to 150 mph, and uses a superfast...

Just picked up a 1978 Montgomery Ward (Gilson) compact tractor off Craigs today for one Franklin to add to my stable. :biggrin: I really liked it a lot for me to travel about 50 miles each way to get it. Seems to be in pretty good shape for a 33 year old mower but it looks like it is going to...

My Craftsman s/p mower model #917.378480 power-propelled drive was not working. :mad: Upon examination the drive cable and belt seemed to be functioning properly. I took the transmission case apart to discover that the helical gear teeth were worn into a cupped shape so the worm gear was not...

Does any one know of a way to repair cracks and splits in tractor seat vinyl besides duct tape? Duct tape makes a mess when it gets hot and looks like Fido. :frown: Has any one tried any of the vinyl repair kits? :anyone: Do they work and where might they be sold? Any ideas on what other...
