It was a great show even if the starter went out of the raider 1/2 through the day! Didn’t get enough pictures now that I looked

luv that Workmate - - looks like mine after its 30 plus years

@WHX?? dry camping is no hookups. We take a generator and our own water. WARNING You're gonna see some of my off brand stuff lol IMG_20260910_101038.heic

Edy had a cabinet in the garage that she wanted gone. I didn’t need to use the Roper to move it but I wanted to.😁😁😁 I transported it to the workshop and installed it in a corner of my office.

You had me at "boom"... I thought this was going to be another story about the connecting rod getting a sudden urge to vacate the premises....

Welcome! Got a model number for the plow? That would allow you to search in the Manuals - Implements section for the Exploded diagram & parts list. Is it a simple 1/2" diameter steel rod with a 90 degree bend at each end?? If so many of us (myself included) make a better version using a straight piece of 1/2" round stock and thread the ends 1/2-20 for a pair of Heim Joints. MUCH smoother feel, no slop.

I was at an auction yesterday and bought this... It fired right up, blower works, and it moves fine. I did some reading and i just want your opinion on how decent of a mower it is? Its a 314A. I bought it to blow snow as itll be eaiser to do my sidewalks and stuff with then my quad. I gave 230bucks for it.

If this thing treats me good i just might lol. Full disclosure ive always kinda been a cub cadet guy. ...but it seems anymore any pre MTD ones people think are worth gold. I actually joined this forum a few years ago and bought an engine off a member for my old 78 yardman lol

Awesome so i did pretty well lol. I literally just bought it to snowblow. My quad with bucket is a real pain at times. lol. I plan on changing all the fluids before i really start running it. I did read the 700 is a bit on the weak side....but like i said i dont plan on using it hard. I got a cub and 2N for that stuff lol

Around here when something is REALLY slow we add "Goin uphill" Read about it. Never done it. Definitely interesting.

Scored a set of 25lb. IH wheel weights at a garage sale. While looking at them the lady asked if she was asking too much and seemed willing to reduce the price. But they were already cheap. I knew she was a recent widow with teenagers so I paid her price and bought some other stuff I really didn’t need. The weights were an ugly shade of red over some yellow paint. Using a wire bush on an angle grinder most of the paint came off. But the magic smoke started pouring out of my good Makita grinder.🤬🤬 Have had it for about 25 years. Painted the weights orange and will install them on the Roper with the front boom. Gonna miss that Makita.🥺
