This is weird...two days here and no sign of him...what is going on??? :confused2:

Got a promotional email from Sears.com last night telling me about a great deal on this certain model. I am not interested, who wants to buy from somebody who is obviously lying about the actual turning capability of their merchandise? I think they should be prosecuted for false advertising...

I bet few people have ever seen one of these...it's the pictures from the installation instructions for a Craftsman accessory kit sold for their tillers back about 1984. The tines on the tiller are removed along with the depth stake on the back, and the wheels/tires installed on the tine shaft...

Does anyone on LMF realize the Snow Removal forum has had no new posts for several days now, at least not prior to this one. I interpret that as meaning either nobody has enough snow left to worry about, or are they so sick of winter they don't want to mention the word "snow" because it will...

Has anyone noticed increased oil consumption in their push mowers while using 10W-30 rather than straight 30W? I am a stickler about using only 5W-30 in my auto engines but when it comes to small motors I really don't pay much attention to which one I use, between the two others. (10-30&30)...

For the past two hours I have been online, LMF takes forever to respond. Internet Explorer, AOL, Tractorbynet, etc work in 1/10 the time LMF is taking, so it is obviously a problem here only. Not griping, just wanted to inform the administrator. Thanks.

Has an article telling homeowners "How to do it yourself and save". This is a direct quote from the issue that arrived today: How you will save over 10 years, DIY maintenance Mow lawn $12,000 Prune, mulch, edge $10,000 Fall, spring cleanups $7,750 Ferilize lawn...

The last post in "Rope Pull Ease" looks like spam. Is there any way the members can report something that may be suspicious?

Our local newspaper had a story yesterday saying because of the unrest in Libya, the price per gallon may hit $5 by summer. Diesel of course will be even more costly. I would cut back my mowing but I already let it go too long between mowings because my lawn is so huge. The irritating thing...

After a week of warm weather the snow was 98% melted, but about 2 pm today it began snowing again, got 3 inches on the ground right now and it's still coming down hard...

This is an IDC (Interdynamics Corporation) electric weed trimmer I purchased at Monkey Wards back in 1989. I have never tried to get OEM replacement parts, but have jury rigged the power cord and string shield/cutter with oddball parts twice, and repaired the on/off switch with JB Weld. It...

How many of the members here feel they have just the right amount of area that they can devote the right amount of time to? I mean, if you are into gardening and hate mowing, do you have a huge garden but a small yard that requires minimal care? If you would rather plant trees and flowers and...

I posted this in the JD forum here, thought I would share the idea with others, My tractor has a close fitting mower deck and it's impossible to get any size drain pan under the block when changing the oil. I use a 40 inch long section of PVC rain gutter under the engine to direct the old oil...

Muhammad, immediately after I post a new thread your site shows information that it has been viewed one time, I interpret this as meaning some type of computer generated program has scanned my new thread for any offensive language and/or confirmed me as the author. Is this correct? Thanks.

This applies to my Craftsman 2 stage blower but could also apply to any other belt driven power lawn care equipment. Late in the fall I replaced both OEM drive belts on my 21 year old machine, I did test run it and adjust the new belts but it was not under load. When the storm hit last week I...

We got about 16 inches of new snow last week and it was so windy the drifts were as high as 4 to 5 feet. My wife had an excuse for not going to work...that's my car visible in the picture, heres is buried under the snow to the left...not really....:laughing:

Muhammad, is it possible for a current member of LMF to ask for removal of all their threads, posts and pictures so they can make a complete exit from the forum? I have tried to make as many positive contributions to LMF as I can but am very dismayed at the somewhat uncaring attitude a part of...

The news here for mid-Michigan is that starting mid-Tuesday we will get the most severe winter storm of a decade, they are predicting 10 to 16 inches of snowfall and high winds. Thankfully all my snow removal toys are fueled and ready....:biggrin:

This should apply only to those who have an engine where you can vary the operating speed, it does not apply to mowers that run at a set, constant speed. Every mower or tractor I have owned that had a throttle that controlled engine speed clearly stated in the manual "always mow at full...

Just want to pass this story along, if it prevents the poisoning of one pet it is well worth reading. Last week I was plowing the driveway of one of my neighbors, he is a K-9 cop with two work dogs. There was nobody home at the time, but when I was plowing his drive by the garage pad, I...

I have an '01 vintage Craftsman 6.75 hp self propelled, tried to start it two years ago and the starter rope broke, since I hade newer mowers I set it aside. Wanted to get it running this fall to bag leaves, after replacing the rope I tried to start it. It acted like the engine was trying to...

I have been cleaning out my home office, came across a catalog of accessories for Polaris ATV's that was printed in Y2K, in the snow removal attachment section, Polaris offered a 48 inch, front mount snowblower attachment that mounted underneath the ATV, it was powered by a 13 hp rear engine...

THis area got about 3 inches of the white stuff today, and the temperature is just above freezing, tried using my single stage blower to clear the drive and walks before the snow could freeze solid, and once again my blower cannot move the slush out the chute. I end up with a plug of heavy wet...

28 inch drift in background

Just saw something on AOL news about this cool $2700 Husqvarna automatic mower that comes in gas or electrtic power...sorry, cannot provide a link, but the article says it is available in several colors and the electric version is solar powered and costs $300 more than gas version...however, it...

How many of the JD owners here use their green machine for only mowing, for just snow removal, or for both? Mine does both.

Finally got the digipics from my Blackberry upladed to my desktop, this one shows the road gator being installed on my Frontier rear blade.

My JD has no real factory toolbox, so I cut down an old gas can and mounted it on the drawbar to carry chains, towstraps, etc. In the summer I can install a larger toolbox type, but if I extend the drawbar any further in the winter, the rear blade hits it when I swivel it to reverse it.

Still waiting for some white stuff so I can play in it.....

Lawn care, projects, pets

All summer long I gripe about the mowing I have to do, and the expense of burning diesel fuel and gasoline at $3 a gallon, and all the work involved in taking care of a 5 acre yard, plus a huge garden...and then after putting away the mowing and trimming equipment, I gripe about not being able...

Obviously the majority of us have some mechanical aptitude, or else we would not have joined this forum. But, do you want to reveal your degree of "fix-it" skills on the ladder to the rest of us? On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say I'm about a six and one-half, or seven when it comes to working on...
