....and after she's stuck in the pokey with the birds for two weeks, since she didn't know how to get out, she will not only mad as a hen..... she will smell to hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh heaven!! :sick: I think he'd be safer off just going on vacation, having a great time.... then jumping...

Gotta admit, I loved the story....(and this might get me in trouble) but especially the part of her getting locked in without having listened to how to exit. I'm going to burn in heII for having admitted that!!

yep, 1066, runs like a scalded dog. sucker is loud with that straight pipe

I need a 1/2" coarse thread stud to attach the hydraulically powered mower (15') to the speed increaser that is mounted to the PTO. Went to my local "we have everything" store...and indeed, they had what I needed. Curious, the owner asked what's it for? (he's thinking automobile) I said to...

I'm starting a rumor he also doesn't own any spoons.

Thats my HAIR.........(bozo) :giggle::oops:

picked it up yesterday. opened box to look......its painted black. all is good! i can mount & mow

took to neighbor, said it was hickory. i looked online and didnt find any looking similar. tree is one of 15 that blew down last year, im finally pulling some out to burn or maybe salvage

It is a 540 (but can be configured to 1,000 PTO) Emailed a schematic with the very old part numbers.... for just the gear and pinion, she's telling me $3,079. I did that using my phone (I hate typing on phone) so I left off AND the four bearings, AND the gasket... So I asked her (in the...

I've played email tag with the gent. I'm trying to find time where I can maybe (with his permission) swing by there to assess all he has and see if some or all of it is interesting for me to buy. Says he's 40 years in diesel and heavy machinery fixing but says he's got something like 540...
