Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
I hope I have passed the last one for a while. In the last 2 weeks, I have passed about 20. 12 on the left side and 8 on the right side. Last night had to have been the worst so far. I would say my pain level was around a 9. I choose 9 because I have never had a limb ripped off of my body. I would call that a 10 for sure. This has to be the worst I have felt in decades. I'm at work this morning so I am going to make it just fine as I always do. Just hate losing 2.5 hours of the 6 hours of sleep I can get.

In sickness and in health
Holy mackerel you guys! We can't have everybody getting ill at once!
Tom. - Hope your shoulder gets better soon! Getting older is a bitch and as it happens you'll find that parts that have served you well through the preceding years begin to balk and become cranky. I hope they (the Docs) can help you.
And Chuck! I've passed two kidney stones and had to have my gall bladder removed because it was packed full of gall stones.. Man oh man, I do not envy you! I think when you consider shooting yourself, then you have reached 9 on the pain scale!
Boo - I wish I could offer you some encouragement, a ray of hope, or anything for your condition, but alas, . . . there is nothing known that will help you.. :laughing::laughing::laughing:
Everybody else: Stay healthy! Eat well, exercise when you can and take care.. There is a bunch of old duffers out here that worry about you..

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Good morning folks
I need to vent this morning. The AC - Heat pump blower motor i noticed running on low speed continuously. The unit is only 3 years old so I called the company I purchased it from to see if it was covered under warranty. One year warranty 10 year on parts of course labor not covered. Estimated motor replacement labor 325 what a rip. So i put on my HVAC hat and here we go. I found a replacement X13 motor controller for 129 with free shipping. These X13 motors are a piece of crap why does a 2 speed motor need an expensive controller mounted on the end of the motor for only 2 speeds. Just venting here.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
NOBAMA,
Some two-speed motors (like swimming pool pump motors) just use two different windings for the two speeds. These things you're into, are they variable drives, (actually DC motors) or what?
Hey you never told me if you are related to that dude on the Martin Bros. "Iron Resurrection" TV show or not.. His name is "Downtown Bama Brown".. I figure he's gotta be related to you somehow, he's a sneaky old coot.. LOl
