Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
I just had a thought. Is there room to raise the rails up a foot higher and then just extend the lower portion of the rail by a foot? If so, then you wouldn't need to cut the doors down.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Geez...I thought I responded to this but it ain't here...........
The doors were originally 8', so the tracks were appropriate in length.
Unfortunately, my ceiling n the garage is only 8',so everything gotta be cut down.
Thanx

Garage Doors
So, Ron..
How has the garage door installation gone so far? In my minds eye I see a possible problem with having panel strips of differing widths, but maybe that doesn't matter. Are the door-width panel strips made up of individual panels? Or are they just made to 'look' like they are? You mentioned aluminum, maybe the panel strips are flat pieces?
I'm still working out how you can reduce the height of one panel strip, but not knowing what they look like, makes my mind puzzle over the numerous styles of garage doors I've seen in my lifetime and that gives me too many possibilities to work with.
I wonder if the radius of the 90 degree turn at the top of the track has some bearing on the height of each panel strip as each one has a guide wheel and again, if the space between guide wheels is too close together, I wonder of they might jamb trying to negotiate that turn in the track. I tried drawing it out, it 'looks' like it will work alright, smaller panels would actually allow for a tighter turn, like a tambor door.
How about some pictures, you know the rules here on the site, you must provide detailed pictures and model numbers if you expect to get any usable feedback. (Other than being told to raise your ceiling, or jack up your garage.)
