Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

I just love private sellers............
A guy on FB Marketplace advertised a differential for my C10.
I thought it would be good to rebuild it and then swap it in to the truck.
I have been asking for information since June 10, and he had promised to get the info 3X since then.
Having received none, I asked him if he really wanted to sell it.............
His nose out of joint, he gave me a song and dance about being busy and not able to fulfill his promises (basically,,,)
He would not even be able to get to it to extract from its location.
So, I asked....so its not for sale??
He replied...not to you..........
I wished him good luck. ( My exact words....)
Saved me $100.00 and a 200 mile round trip..........guess I should be happy !!:smile::smile:

I just don't know what people expect when they advertise something for sale.........
Can't get information on it, can't even gain access to it...........
Just like people "selling" fine china and crystal at a show in a mall.....prices so high nobody would purchase.
My dad always said that the stuff ain't really for sale.....they just want people to see that they have it..........

This concludes my rant for the day.

When we were looking for a truck a few months back, we replied to a Craigs-List ad, guy said he was in a different city than the truck at his place, said he was helping his sister with some house repair, we called back a few days later, same story, this went on for over a month, asked if there really was a truck for sale, he said the work was taking longer than expected, yes he NEEDS to sell the truck NOW because he needs the money, he quit answering the phone, so I called him at 3:15 AM a few days later and told him I was no longer waiting for his truck, he got upset that I called at that hour, so now every once in awhile I call him at an early morning hour to tell him I still DON'T want his truck, but then again, I might, .. next time I call .........he's not to happy with me, I think he finally blocked my number I did Block his ......

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

UHhh HEY Ronaldo ...... (AKA) Limp-Dick , Just got my Truck Manual in the mail yesterday ...... This one was produced by GM themselves, usually the Helms Co. prouces ALL the GM manuals used @ the Dealerships ...... I have bought one for ALMOST every car I've owned, These things cover so much in detail it blows your mind, Haynes & Motor manuals copied the info FROM these Manuals to produce their Manuals ( after paying a fee to GM & Helms ) ...... $60.00 ( used ) but VERY GOOD cond.
