My YM1510 has a clutch safety switch and is very difficult to start in cold weather. I was heating up the building it is stored in today and also had a battery charger hooked up to it to help spin the starter a little faster. Standing on the left side of the machine, I went and did a "Captain...

I just mailed the LMTC gang a deposit today. Wayne was great to deal with, as always. I was going to go with a 1500, but he made an incentive to get me to favor the 1610 instead (offered me more for my trade in). Then he knocked a couple more hundies off if I made it a cash sale! Christmas is...

Has anyone figured out a way to install a bigger battery in a 1510? That wimpy little lawn tractor battery just ain't cuttin the mustard this time of year, and it doesn't appear to be physically possible to install anything bigger. :( Hook a Booster Pack up to it and the starter FLYS! Any and...

I saw a T-shirt a while ago that had an SMV sign on the back of it. Does anyone know where I can acquire these?

Trying to figure out how to make a place to hook the two chains on the front of the mower unbderneath this tractor. The two brackets that I got with this mower for this purpose aren't going to do me much good, I'm afraid. (no good place to bolt them on, what with the way they're designed)...

Tell me I'm not crazy. I saw a picture somewheres (thought it was on here but can't find it now ) of an older Yanmar tractor that was powered by a one-cylinder "flywheel" engine similar in design to the ChangFa engines sold over at www.utterpower.com. The engine sat transversely and power was...

Seems as though I remember reading somewhere that the bolts that secure the blades to the spindles on a Continental Belton mower are reverse thread. Is this correct? Thanks, Don

I'm contemplating the acquisition of a YM1510 from LMTC that happens to include a rear-mounted tiller. Not having a garden or any other use for the tiller itself, I though that maybe I could put an ad on the board down at the hardware store and recoup at least a tiny fraction of my new...

www.ustrading.net Anyone here ever deal with this operation? Would like to hear about your experience, be it good or bad. They have a couple YM1500s as well as a hinomoto E14D that are in my price range that I'd like to go check out. I was all set up to procure a YM1510 from Wayne, but the...

Continental Belton KTR54 Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in "attatchments". Anyone here ever seen a setup such as this? BTW, "drive on drive off feature" does mean that you can supposedly just run over the thing to get it underneath! I emailed the seller and asked about it. They...

Been lurking here for a few days. I'm looking to reluctantly replace my ailing and aging Power King 2414. I'm considering one of the small grey market Yanny models mainly because I'm within resonable driving distance from Wayne @ Little Miami and I've read nothing but positive comments about...
