    Rototiller Roto-ette

    Found these attachments to a 1947 (I think) Roto-ette, the precursor to Troy-Bilt. Two 19" Mow Tiller decks, and a 32" Snow Plow (Plow Pics in next post). Also the frame (yellow) with wheels, but no engine, transmission or tines. Anyone interested in old tillers? I shouldn't strip and paint...

    Linux

    Any body using a Linux box? If so, what distro are you using? Why? Enquiring :wink: minds want to know. I've got several older computers that originally ran Win98, ME:puke1: or 2000. Resentments against B. Gates & Co. have risen to the surface again since Micro$oft has obsoleted 98 :mad...

    Chuckwagon

    Came across this ad on southeasttexas.com, a local classified ads website. They don't have a website yet but say it should be up by Valentine's Day in case you're looking for a gift for the SWIMBO. Here's the ad for Steel Horses (936) 639-6878: New Chuckwagon Utility Vehicles. 2WD. "Honda"...

    UTV?

    I must admit I'm a little intrigued by this new forum. I wasn't going to post a new thread but just reply to Doc's Intro (which I decided not to post). What began as curiosity about the moniker of "UTV" has grown into wondering how the current UTV came to be. I know very little about ATVs and...

    Mower Decks

    I've got several decks I'm getting ready for the upcoming season. I'm a little undecided (as usual:confused: ) about what to use on the cutting area. I'm considering truck bed liner, POR15, epoxy, Rustoleum, deck paint and just plain cooking spray. Since I never built my powder coat oven...

    Humor

    Hey Greg I think we might need a humor or jokes forum. Or at least a thread or two that Doug can call home and drink his Starbucks and chuckle. A place we'll know we'll feel better after visiting. Everyone here has a great sense of humor and sharp wit. I keep my bandaids in the little...

    Wet Slide Decals

    Several years ago while researching home built three wheel cycles (chronic back problems) I came across Suzy Jackson's excellent writeup on making wet slide decals. Wet slide decals are old school. They are the kind we used on all those model airplanes and cars back in the fifties. They're...

    Make a tiny url from a huge one

    Hi guys I just wanted to let y'all know about a free redirect site that can shorten long urls into a more manageable size. Sometimes links get broken when a long url is posted and a word wrap function breaks it into more than one line. Sometimes, if it doesn't break it into multiple lines...

    Dan I just got a Gilson YT11HE. I know you are at least familiar with them. I can fine no info on them. Perhaps I'm not searching with the right terms? Any help you can throw my way will be received with open arms. It has an L head Briggs 12.5 hp I/C. I suspect this is not original. The...

    A big Howdy from South East Texas

    Even though this is my first post I feel at home with all the familiar faces from other forums. I've followed Mith's modifications to his Horses and Dan's (Milwaukee) struggles with an old Gilson. I say struggles because I picked up a YT11HE a few days ago and am beginning to appreciate his...
