    Gerry, thank you for the video, it is exactly what I needed. Yep, MTD took good products and made them less than desirable. I suspected it was something like that. I am not in any hurry so I will tackle it later. Thanks again.

    I have a question, I have inherited my mother-in-laws Cub Cadet LT 1040 CVT drive. I have mowed with it several times but now it is making a grinding noise and while mowing it stopped going in forward. The reverse works but you can put it into forward but it will not move just grinds. Any...

    How Cold Is IT?

    I am almost embarrassed to say it was 64 degrees with a low of 35 today. I don't see how you guys handle the bitter cold. I have a peach tree that has finished blooming, a pear that is in full bloom and I saw about 75-100 geese flying north today, they are coming home. A friend of mine that...

    Fire Ants!

    Wayne, I don't know how the Dr. Pepper works but I think it is the corn syrup/sugar that mixes with the dirt and replenishes what the gas takes out. Waiting 3-5 days kind of lets the gas dissipate some. The ant hills we have here are several different sizes dependent on when you see them and...

    Fire Ants!

    I keep thinking of things as I have a lot of fire ants. I only use about a heaping tablespoon of the Orthene. Most times I just sprinkle it out of the container and when it looks good I stop.

    Fire Ants!

    Wayne, on the Orthene you only have to just sprinkle it on the ants when they explode looking for the culprit (the stick) that disturbed their nest. Also, I use it when the sun is shinning because their eggs are at the top of the nest and with the Orthene sprinkled on them it will kill the eggs...

    Fire Ants!

    Wayne, use a small amount of gas (a quarter cup or less) and it will get rid of them. Wait about 3-5 days and then put Dr. Pepper on the spot and mix it in with the dirt, the ground usually comes back. Don't know why or how it works but give it a try on one of them. It has worked for me. Wayne...

    How Cold Is IT?

    Marty, everything is ok. The firefighters really helped a lot. They were already down the road fighting another fire and were about finished when some of them broke off to come fight this one. One time it got a little hairy as it crept to a bunch of oak trees that had a lot of leaves...

    How Cold Is IT?

    The temp here is so hot you can't even lay your tools down outside for a while and then pick them up without them hotter than you know where. They are too hot to work with. Had to fight about a three to 5 acre fire the other day, it got within 100yrds of the house and 50 yrds from the 10 bales...

    Digger, send that straight down I-35, I'm about 15-20 miles off of it. Enjoy the coolness.

    How Cold Is IT?

    Digger, please put up a big fan and send some of that cool air down here to central Texas, it is only 103 today from 114 yesterday. I have been watching the cattle to make sure they have plenty of water and stay in the shade. Two ponds with water but they are going down and worry about them...

    How Cold Is IT?

    My grass looks like straw in places. Need to mow the high spots down to make it look kind of normal. Summer is definitely here and staying for a while. The 114 yesterday was all time record dating back to 1901 (when they started keeping records). Send some snow or any moisture except hail.

    How Cold Is IT?

    Set a record today at 114. Too d**n hot.

    How Cold Is IT?

    Was in San Francisco and the wine country a couple of weeks ago and it was mid 60's, I just came in from one place fixing fence and putting up electric fence and it was getting hot, 113 degrees at our airport. Too d**n hot.

    How Cold Is IT?

    Yesterday another 108 record. We need a "Low" to push out this "High", till it does we can expect more of this. For some reason the humidity is lower than usual and it helps some. It was like this when I was growing up in the 50's and 60's and we didn't have air conditioning in our house till...
