I had one as a kid!!! Loved it! Me and my friends spent hours and days with that toy. They all got one! I found new ones online a few years ago. My wife bought me one. It's still in the box.... It's too hard to bend over and crank it.

Pictures please. More info needed. Attachments included? Cab or open station? Etc. Since you said that you are newbie, some very experienced folks on here might see a lot of good or bad in photos that you wouldn't see. You won't find many 'box store' implements for it. It is a serious...

Generally, ordered parts have a restocking fee if you don't accept them. Otherwise... Freight, shipping etc, should be configured into the selling price. The price quoted to you at order time. If you pick it up at the dealer. If they specify, 'Plus shipping', it's on the customer. All of...

Gloves: I usually end up with all lefties or all righties when I really need them. Because I have dogs. Dogs love gloves, because they smell like me and they love me. They tear them to little bits, and sometimes eat them. So I buy gloves regularly when on sale and keep them out my pooches...

Flipped forward over the steering wheel. Always. Every time. Left in the seated position it gathers the sun and the seat material degrades. In the rain or snow it pools and soaks into the foam once the vinyl cracks. Not even that; On a hot or raining day do you want to sit in a hot or wet...

That is awesome. Sometimes it is the small things. That mean the most.

Awesome! 2 labs and a Weimaraner?

Here's another one: This job was to rototill a large back yard in southern California. Same era, 1970's. I had to till right up next the house in some places, and i still have the loader on the tractor. So I am constantly watching clearance issues. Out comes a small horde of a couple women...

Replace the batts. Clean it up. If not working, buy a new one. I get a new mouse about every other year. I keep my hardwired mouse on standby.

The 3 percent will continue as long as the CC companies charge it and the retailers pass it to you, and we accept it. The CC companies make interest on your purchase if you don't pay it off every month. Small retailers charge the fee, and when they do, I go elsewhere. Or pay in cash.

Post your experience as you wish. Here is one of my best: So I had a small tractor business. Kubota B7100, circa late 1970's. I advertised rototilling, light grading and small tractor work. I get a call from a church. I wasn't a member of the church. So, I meet the pastor, and some other...

Just for fun: Decades ago, I watched a dozer side slope, perpendicular to the slope, pulling a massive disc plow. It looked like a 100 % grade, or 45 degrees. It was amazing to watch. I think it was a Cat D6. Operator said something like, "It will not roll over, it will slide first". Kinda...

Put it in. If you don't care about patents and copyright. Chinese make decent copies of Briggs, Honda, and Kohler.

Roll the dice. Some stuff from China is pretty good. Some other equipment is not. I would see if and what the warranty is. i have never heard of MechMaxx. Search YT for videos. Good luck.

Wow. Beef Bacon. My Jewish friends might be interested. I am tired of them taking 'real pork' bacon off of my plate when we meet for breakfast. Someone says that you can't have it, and ya want it more. BACON!!!
