It is HEAVY - had to move it with my vehicle jack. Has rollers.

Supposedly a local company in Raleigh can make a new handle for them.

If no one needs, I will probably refinish and put in shop under a bench.

Thank you. I like the looks of it, but it sounds significantly heavier than I want to fool with. I can't imagine trying to get it to the second floor of my house.

Me and a couple local rally fans hit up the olympus rally again. Sadly I was only there for a very brief period of time as my work had messed up and forgotten to assign me a job that was due that Monday. Got a bigger percentage if the fee but wasn't too happy about it. Only good thing is I won a $50 bet. I said Ken Block wouldn't podium.

So here are some pics from the rally that some of the local rally group members got. I love how prominent Mt Rainer is in the first shot despite being 2.5 hours away from the course.

Over the years I've seen countless threads talking about window screens for our rigs so that we may sleep in them and not provide a meal to the bugs at the same time.

FORD out thinks TOYOTA!!

Now don't go getting silly, it's just an article about screens.

Ford applies to patent screen doors for the Bronco

Ford has submitted a patent application for screen doors for the Bronco, which can also be deployed automatically to help protect occupants in a crash.

I found my new truck, something about it just appeals to me.

Anybody know a decent lawnmower mechanic near apex/Raleigh

In my infinite wisdom and wanting to save time I asked my son to cut the grass. Well he broke it.
This is the new riding lawn mower that I just bought because he broke the last one.

So I think he broke something in the drivetrain because it won’t move now. He hit one of the metal anchors for the canopy I have in the back yard. It starts great but now it won’t move.

Anyway if you have a lawnmower mechanic that you recommend please let me know.

Thanks.

@SFROMAN what kind of mower? Maybe it's a drive belt or something simple.

Never been there but heard good things about this place on 401...

[SFROMAN]

Appreciate it Sean.
Yep that is a good place. Have brought my lawn mower there before. That is where I was going to bring it if I didn’t get any recommendations.

I am sure it is an easy fix but I have lots of other Knick knacks crap I need to take care of and don’t feel like spending g a whole day Messing with the lawn mower.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

That mower is hydrostatic right? Hopefully it's a cheap fix. Hopefully a shear pin/bolt somewhere.

A wise man once told me, don't buy a project truck. Buy @roadstr6 project truck, after he has completed the project. Im happy to have Crockpot in the driveway.

I don't have any suggestions but as a former 13 year old with experience breaking riding lawnmowers, launching a lawnmower at full throttle is fun before you have a car to do it in. However, it does tend to break stuff...and then Dad tends to be very upset.

Congrats, Patrick! I can't wait to see what you do with the Crockpot. It's been fun being its caretaker for the last 8+ years. I've had a lot of good times in that old truck, and while I hate to see it go, it has not been driven too much in the last couple of years. It was time. Long live Crockpot!

I’m with Stan. I never approached Dave to purchase a rig, never thought it was possible. Now I’m curious. Bucky, how you doin’?
