Opened the "Lawn & Garden" threads this morning and the first four posts were about lawn mower problems. I think I'm going to leave mine in the shed and wait for this disease to pass. crazy

I could always sell you a sheep instead... wink

I'd like to try the Al Berner approach. His yard is or was last time I saw it, native prairie. Think of all the woodchucks, gophers and varmints one could shoot from the sliding glass window. grin

I'm with ya! I should have never started mowing! My 2 year old cub cadet hatched its hydro drive this spring! Thankfully for the good folks at Leroux's in Scandia they were able to take care of me and get it covered under warranty despite me being an [PoorWordUsage] and buying the Cub at a big box store. Never again will I go big box for a purchase like that! Learned my lesson!

Never thought about the potential off-season hunting opportunities. Maybe I'll have to think a little more seriously about this.

Bob, This might sound crazy but I didn't know you were my neighbor!!! You might be though because I have mowed 6 times this spring and my neighbor zero!!! Of course he may be getting ready to mow now that the dandielions have finished seeding out in his yard........ and blowing them over to mine.

go native prairire. I just finished planting another 2,000 square feet of my front yard and I can't wait to see what happens. The 3,000 I did last year is starting to come up and I already have blooms. No clue what they are but I don't have to mow, fertilize or spray!

Or, one could plant the variety of grass that needs to be mowed only a few times a season. I also believe there is a growth chemical out on the market that one can spray the lawn and it just about does not grow.

I have seen these lawn plugs for a lawn and I believe that this also grows very slow.

No goats or sheep for me.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
