hi well my sweet heart "i'm keeping her" bought me a s/m magnum 8inch chipper solo power auger. thanks for your help brad b. i have asthma and she was worried i'd get out of breath with a hand auger after a little guilt and yes it was my fault too that she backed over it. we bought it i really liked my eskimo but my wife said lets give the solo motor a try. thanks for all your help wont live this one down for a while. sure starts fast and very light

that's good to hear. don't put this one down in the middle of the driveway. I made a wall hanger for mine. I just screwed a 2 by 4 into the studs and then bough some of those rubber coated bike hanger type things and screwed them into the 2 by 4. Now my auger hangs nice and neatly on the wall. It works great. then i just have a scrap of plywood behind it so water doesn't drip on to my sheet rock when the ice build-up melts.

Nice auger, I'm still amazed your wife is getting any blame for this. Either way, congratulations on the new auger.
Two points off the honey do list! Those points did not disappear! I think more were added smirk Joking aside the misfortune was not intended to place blame nore was it one persons fault. Just a bit of fun that I took

Nice to hear about you getting a new one. I guess I really never thought about the old 'wife backing over" it I trick? I usually use the 'well all the guys are getting them" even though she doesn't know who the guys are? laugh

yea they have always been good to me. the minnows seem to last better then the local shop's in monti. I have a batch of crappie minnows from them that I have had now for a week and a half. they are where I got my 2 otter houses from.

      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

      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.
