Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Actually we could use it , winter dry months are times of HIGH chances of fires, NOT good here in the forest. ,,:frown:

You musta jinxed it..................we're gettin soaked again, and you ain't gettin nuttin'..................

We bought our cabin in Astor in '98.
There were some pretty serious fires around us in the summer that year.
Every mornin' we'd have smoke, then ash in the afternoon.
Choppers had to douse some flames about 1/4 mile from us, but by and large, the fores stayed east of the River.
Nervous times, but we were spared.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Me too!
1997 F-150 with 266+K miles on it!

BTW, on the using pallet lumber topic, I have read that it may not be the best source of lumber for indoor projects.
One can never be certain as to what was stored or transported on pallets; may have been something poisonous
or otherwise detrimental to out health if anything leeched out onto the pallets.........

I'd love an older truck like that, something you can work on, WITH-OUT all the "bloat-ware" ..(computer-term)..how bout a few pics (specially the "bread-box") (means engine compartment-under the hood) so I can drool ..???

I guess they have things figured-out, a lil bit anyways, they do a fair amount of "controlled-burning" these days.

NICE truck !! But I must not have my years right, can you get around in that model's bread-box to work on it ..NOT loaded with EPA junk..?? maybe a 77 model, or even a 67 model, yeah, they were built with-out the mandated garbage I THINK !! ..

Also, does Clyde (primerbulb120) pay you to go over, and help him on occasion, to CONFISCATE these boat-loads of push-mowers he's accumulating to open the worlds GREATEST push-mower repository ?? ..

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

That'll happen if you feed a rip cut from the wrong direction!
I aviation, that is what's known as "pilot error."
That actually happened to my father once, while I was sitting on the workbench (I think that's where I was)
and he misfed a piece into the saw. It grabbed the wood and shot it across the room, splintering when it hit the block wall.
He THOUGHT it came close to my head/face, til I smiled and the blood flowed out of my mouth........
Dunno what it hit, but it just grazed me. Coulda been MUCH worse if a few mm's one way or another.
He never made THAT mistake again....and he was a very accomplished wood worker !

Ron,

I was lucky that one of my kids wasn't standing there when that happened.. Also lucky I wasn't standing in the way! I fed something in the wrong direction through a router on two different occasions (and two different routers) and paid the price for that. Chopped up the first two fingers on my right hand and then seven months later I chopped up the middle two fingers on my left hand! I don't do that anymore!!

I'll bet your old man about died, I know I would have..
