Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

I have somewhat rekindled an old love affair with sardines.
There are really good ones and those that are not so great.
I really like King Oscar double layer sardines. They are small enough so that 2 on a Ritz Cracker are perfect.
Usually over $3.00/tin, but $2,67 or so at Wallyworld.
Then there are Chicken of the Sea. Nice flavor but much larger than the KO's. $1.19 at Piggly Wiggly
Today I tried some Brunswick "Gourmet Fillet" 'dines packed in oil and jalapenos mmmmmmmmmmmmmm $1.09 at WM
And, my absolute faves....Crown Prince boneless and skinless packed in Olive oil. EXCELLENT !!
Usually $3.00+, as low as $2.62 on the www., but WM has had these lately for $1.97/tin !! WOW !!
I have cleaned the shelves of these 2x now.

Beachcliff fishies are not so great IMHO. They can tend to be mushy.........bleah....

I do like the ones packed on mustard sauce or hot sauce (I put Louisiana Hot Sauce on them anyway.) and peppers...

Anyway, I'm SURE that eating these would have helped fix that transaxle !

I had a 1966 Corvair in Illinois back in the late 70's.
It had rust n the tank that would plug up the fuel filters had shut me down then and there.
The tank replacement was simple....finding one was the trick.

now that is interesting.
Down here King Oscar are $ 2.25 Aus a can which of course is $ 1.58 US.
I usually mush them with spring onions/ chilli /fresh olives then fill a jaffel ( Closed toasted sandwich - pie type affair )
But only with the cheaper dryer sardines at $ 1.00 Aus /can.
Out of curosity how big is a US sardine can ?
