I have a 11 year old murray (hold the jokes please ). It is a rear engine rider. The front tires have been coming off the bead constantly for the past year. Does anybody have any hints to stop this?

My old man expects me to pick up a season's worth of leaves with an electic blower circa 1975. We are planning to pick up a gas model tomorrow, do you have any suggestions?

I am curious if the Deere advertisement here on TBN is showing us the new 300 series L & G Tractors. The grill seems to be of no current model. Also I dont think the hydraulic levers are yellow on current 300 series If I am wrong I am sure the deere faithful will tell it how it is. The 2210...

I try to stear clear of the box stores as much as possible. I was in Home Depot yesterday and say this power washer. It has the Honda GX engine and a Cat pump. My old man is looking for one, what do you guys think. power washer sorry guys i cant get the link to work. it is the 6.5 hp Excell...

A guy at work was telling me he was going to buy a powerwasher, curious if they make PTO powerwashers. If they dont it would make for an interesting project.

i was wondering if anybody knows when JD is planning to come out with the next generation 300 series lawn and garden tractors... i know there is a dealer out there who knows something!

i was on another tractor site where someone posted that the AWD system on the 455 will last until 1100 hours. But the yanmar diesel would last between 5000 and 10000. How long will an AWD system last? how reliable is it? what is the uncut radius (with either the 54" or the 60")? and can one blow...

I have made several posts about the BCS two wheel tractor. I would love to run a PTO generator off it. It has a 1 3/8" PTO that "nearly runs at 13 hp" the issue is that it also runs at 990 rpm! is there an easy way to run a generator off this machine?

I know that the BCS has a standard PTO option (1 3/8") does anybody know the RPM and PTO horsepower of an 852? can i run a generator off it? how can i figure it out?

This is my first post, glad to be on TBN. I have been following this site for about a year. Thanks to all those to post and help those who are new! I am about 8 months away from a purchase of a BCS 852. I am considering making side money by cutting 5 lawns and snowblowing like 4. EarthTools...
