Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

How do I go about straightening a piece of cast aluminum??
Mu BBQ grill has developed a warp/dip in the front top edge of the lower housing.
This may be from using a wire basket with a handle for cooking.
The handle sticks out the front ant the lid rests on it.
This might be the cause of the warpage.
Should I just heat the grill up nice and hot and attempt to massage the deformed edge??

Heating it and reforming it might do it, since aloomineeeumm does tend to soften when heated , but I'd be VERY careful about forming CAST aloomineeeumm, might just crack before it moves, but then, it's probably time for a new one anyway .... :cool:

I have this neat little gizmo that replaces the lava rock and makes it like an infra-red grill.
Cooks super fast, w/minimal flare-ups and lotsa smoke.
Just a scoche long to fit my backup grill, but I could probably trim to fit.

Just wish I could fix my Masterflame 8000..................

Love the photo but so fake. That mower has never cut a single blade of grass.

Re: An open question to the technologically inclined

I have two young friends who recently (Sunday) told me that they had been having a conversation with other friends a couple of days previously and three topics were covered, Coyotes, Cicadas and Toyotas. After talking about those things, when they went to check something on their phone(s-?) all three things came up on the screen(s-?). Information about coyotes, cicadas and an ad for Toyotas. They firmly believe that their phone(s-?) were listening in on their private conversations.

Do you guys think that is possible? Wrong question. Of course it is possible! Do you guys think that sort of thing is happening?

Rog


YES
