Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
All the HARD WORKING, dedicated, honest, loyal, and dependable hired help is either retired or almost retired, whiners are the rule of thumb today, and God forbid if you you say ANYTHING about them spending more time on their "phone" than actually working ..... ..:thumbdown:

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Been shovelin' dirt the last few days....relocating 7 yards is more difficult than it used to be.
The tractor (golf cart) and wagon (Harbor Freight tin dump trailer) can move about 50 shovel fulls at a time.
Even that takes 2 rounds of shovelin' per load.(Thank goodness for my adjustable shovel!)
Shovel, rest,shovel, dump, rake.
Repeat.
Then scratch up and sow rye grass seed ahead of Thursday's rains.
Maybe have 2 more loads to spread around the area, but many loads after that to use in other areas of the property.
I had to fill in some rain-washed trenches and a trench where I put a drain line from a retention area we did a year or so ago.
The goal is to get MORE grassy areas to mow.
This is all in an area which we reclaimed from woody undergrowth a couple of years ago.
All this wrapped around disassembling my 350 Chevy motor, going to the dentist, and meetings with potential financial advisor.
I hope to take block and heads to machine shop tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it will not need to be bored.
Sure glad I don't have to squeeze a job in there somewhere............

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
I know the anxiety well, I'm trying to get many things accomplished before it starts gettin cold here, ( I don't move well below 65 deg. aches and pains from injuries and arthritis) .. had I known I was gonna live this long, .. I woulda taken much better care of myself, no roller skates, climbing trees, bicycles, go-karts, motorcycles, iron-work, electrical work, heavy equip. operator, marine mech, aircraft mech, concrete/asphalt work, etc., etc. or those EXTREMELY hazardous sexual positions.. ( those things almost KILLED me ) .. :laughing:..:laughing:
