Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Hey Doc, Those stump-grinders are the thing aren't they ? My son had a lawn & landscape business and we did many tree removals, so he wound up with a used Vermeer Chipper, but he had a guy he always used for the grinding. He had a brand new Vermeer grinder with the Remote-Control set-up, he would set up his lawn chair , grab the remote and give it hell, man was he ever good, BUT he did make customers sign a waiver about NOT being responsible about any sprinkler lines , that machine ate those like candy !! He never hurt for business either, he had about 6 landscape companies that used his services, his "beeper" ( back in the day) was ALWAYS going off. I think Vermeer makes some of the BEST machinery out there, even the state and counties buy them. This guy said he paid off his machine in a year...!
and now of course I want to search down craigslist and buy my own

So I call around to find someone to mount and ballance them. Wow, what a price difference. From $20 to $40. I went with the $20 option because they have an opening. #997

Pictures of the bad tire and new tire should get us to 1000. If anyone else wants the 1000 then get to it.
