Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Ron,
Look! I can reply with a complete quote!.. .. No, I'm not 5'5", I 'used' to be 5'10", but I seem to be shrinking in my golden years.. I was poking fun at you, I can sort of tell from your avatar picture that you are not 'short', but you have to admit, you'd be a funny looking dude to be pushing that much weight and only be 5'5"! Look like a beachball with legs!
In actuality I hope that your successful in your weight loss program. Losing weight as we age, becomes more problematic, until many just give up and become fat.. I'm trying to avoid that, but so far I don't seem to be able to alter my caloric intake. I love sweet tea, the occasional Pepsi and cookies.. Not good..
Hopefully your progress will be reported and will serve to enthuse me to greater efforts.. I will follow your posts closely..
Roger

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Boo,
You don't love yer new truck no more? .. .. .. Hang in there, you know you 'live' to find obscure parts.. You'll run them down, just keep plugging away at it.. I watched a TV show yesterday where a guy found the trunk lid for a London Taxi cab in Maryland.. You should be able to find what you need without half that much work!

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck,
I know your mother made you put your toys up when you were done with them as a kid.. There is a reason that mother's teach their kids lessons like that and you forgot..... I'd say 'Bad Boy', but I suspect you have relearned what you were taught, the hard way.. Ouch! I though your neck of the woods was populated by all good, honest, people.. Probably some damn infiltrator from 'away'...
However, it's always fun getting new stuff.. But it would be nicer to be able to chose when you're going to do that on your own, not be forced into it.
I have a tendency to lock up everything, all the time, always! I got into that habit after being stationed in Hawaii. I discovered that the attitude there was, if you weren't using something and someone else wanted to, well, they just might as well do so... When I came out of my apartment one day and found three local guys had opened the hood on my 428cid Cobra jet "just the see the engine, man" - even though it had hood lock-pins, I quickly understood that I needed to keep things under lock and key and have done so ever since.. Then again, maybe I'm just paranoid.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
It usually works fine for me as well. For some reason when I clicked the reply with quote it just gave me a blank white box to type in............
Weight loss to date has been a 1.6# GAIN.
Only 1 beer and NO ice cream yesterday.
Must be muscle gain...........but I think it is just water...........
Dunno about beach ball, but, if I could be the volley ball in Chuck's pic of the day.............:tongue::tongue:

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Yep! ... Thanks Chuck I saw that @ Rock, I'm trying to find something LOCAL, no core shipping hassle, and if I find a cheap enough core charge ( found $16.00 @ Auto-Zone, BUT their units are for schitt ) I'll keep my core and send it over for rebuild through my garage guy ! I prefer a Cardone unit, they appear to be pretty good units, others I found are over 2-300 bucks ! Then I need NEW lines & an inline filter too! most places will NOT warranty unless lines & filter/ flushing is done .. P.I.T.A. ..:thumbdown:
