Catching up!!
Phew!! It's hard to keep up with you guys!!
Doc's going Bat-schitt, Boo and Toms 'puters are crappin' out, Ron is building the Taj Mahal of shops! (In which he is installing a theater - probably to watch porn on!), James is cookin' with the heat, and Chuck is just confused..
Learned a lesson yesterday. Replaced the water pump in the Yamaha with a Sierra after-market water pump kit. Got it all back together and tested it. It didn't pump a drop! L-o-n-g story short, I removed the lower unit three times! Checked all the components and my work each time, could find nothing wrong, still no water. Finally I replaced the wear plate and the impeller with the original parts, and it pumped water like crazy!! WTF??? So I will order a OEM impeller and just replace that and call it good.. Damn near drove me nuts, but as Becky has pointed out on numerous occasions, "It's a short drive!"
Doc, a .410 shotgun is good medicine for bats. I have no advice for crapped out computers. I just junk 'em and buy a new one every few years. Ron, when the shop is done and the theater is set up, I think I could find a copy of "Debbie does Dallas", call me.. James, turn on the A/C and kick back in your favorite chair, Fall is coming.. Chuck we've had around 2,150 views since 9/24.. I've got no idea who in hell they all are, but they just keep coming!!!

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
I would do repairs if I could just walk around in my shop.....among other things I have been an avid cyclist. Being rather tall,
I, for a while, picked up every tall Cannondale frame I saw (that I could afford.)
Here is the result (complete bikes only...
And, I ave many more frames and components not pictured.
Add a pretty complete woodworking shop and mechanical repair, and, well, you get the idea.
I also want ti set my home theater up again. That will require a room inside the shop somewhere....

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
My bikes all pretty much require a 34" inseam to ride...........
If I had a "stable" of ladies with legs that long, I'd keep 'em for myself!
BTW-My money talks to me....it sez "BYE!"
