Your know that you are old when the doctor tells you that they don't have much data on your ailment....for 90 YO folks...o_O

But..........has the welding teacher done much/any welding??...kinda like the MBA that never had a lemon stand.🤔

It looks like a two seater to me. Well, so much for gardening.:love:

Here is my over forty year old Sears front tine rototiller. It has been sitting out in the weather with a wash tub covering the engine. I use it most years in my 50 x 100 garden. I just add some fresh gasoline and it starts right up with several pulls. It is a 8 HP B/S engine....and the...

I too have two full grown (80 ft) Sycamore and a full grown Soft Maple in my front yard. The Sycamores are the biggest problem. .... with stix galore after every routine storm. I can't think of a thing, nor even imagine something that will collect the branches and stix that they drop...

My Case 448, L & G tractor is 42 YO and has endured the ignorance of a newbie at these things. It still serves me as a tow tractor for small wagons and carts and a Shredder/Chipper.. I've retired it from mowing/snow since I have two Kubotas with MMMs an d blades.. I did my bests to maintain...

Thanks TBN'ers,,,,,,, looks like i'll be be safe to extend the MMM greasing to at least 20 hrs........belt spindels... and U-joints. The front Gage wheels are easy to get at.........but that duo rear center gauge wheel set is very difficult to get at....as well as the U-joints. Mike

I've been mowing with Kubota CUT's with 5 ft MMM for 16 years now. I usually clean up (not grease) the MMM and the tractor after every usage. I'm getting older now and want to cut back on greasing if possible. Right now I grease about every 10 hours of mowing...that is about 3 mowings of...

Hi Y'All, Today I was cleaning my Stihl MS261, after using it for several hours a few days ago, when I found the sprocket on the 20 inch bar was "frozen". I could not turn it. Never have seen that before in many years and different saws????? I finally worked it loose and back to...

If your 3-point has a Cat 2 Quick Hitch and your Tiller is Cat 1, you may need some bushings to take up the slack. Otherwise the tiller will rattle around ....especially on untilled ground.

Wow Rb....what a video. That gal knows her stuff and the presentation was great....She is way aabove my ability. thanks, Mike

Thanks again Jarasband.....I decided to go for it now and not wait until tomorrow...... It worked just as you said...............will take in the RobertN video later..... and thanks to you Rob Cheers, Mike

I'll try that again tomorrow..... Thanks..... I was able to to get a 19mm open end wrench on the plug this morning, but decided to see what Y'All had to say. Even with the plug loose, it looked difficult to wiggle it out from all the surrounding rubber "stuff" which look like it is part of...

My 261 has been easy to start and runs great. But after some years and hours it is probably needing a new spark plug. "No problem", I says to myself. But, "Whoa" I can't even get a socket on the plug what with all the rubber "stuff" surrounding & above the plug. The OE manual show no...

Yeah,....I can remember my dad painting his 1934 Ford with a can of black paint and a brush....as it sat under a shade tree right next to the out house.:cool: Cheers, Mike
