  1. Sure, could you PM me some info on the mower and the address where it is? Thanks!
  2. I am offering to pick up older broken down mowers, as usual, or if you have something in better shape and would like to sell it, I can also help you get it sold on consignment. Basically, we look over the mower and give you an estimate of what it will bring, then figure what we could get you after the mower is sold.. Of course, if you chose to sale on consignment, I would give you a ticket of agreement before taking the mower away for whatever repairs would be necessary to get it sold for a reasonable price. I am also looking for as many broken down PUSH MOWERS as I can find to haul away f
  3. Thank you. Been missin' you, buddy! There's just too many for me to list any single one except PUBBY for making it all possible with his site.
  4. Let me help you out with those stubborn or broken down mower problems. Repairs on most all small engines and outdoor power equipment. Just call me, Glenn (Subby), at 678-315-8794. Thank you.
  5. If you have any broken down push mowers or weed eaters, blowers, etc. and want them removed, please call me at 678-315-8794. Thanks! Glenn
  6. Dropping price to $500 cash. Engine runs great, good deck, etc. Just needs a transmission, or can be parted out for much more than 500. Must sell by this Friday.
  7. My partner's son is available to cut grass and maintain yards Mon. thru Sat., from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m., starting this Wednesday. He's a very hard worker and I'll be handling his schedules, so if you need affordable yard work done, please PM me or call me at 678-315-8794. He's especially good with smaller yards, and lower rates for the elderly who need this service, so put the word out. He's not out there trying to make a fortune. He just needs some work and will offer a senior citizen discount. This is just as much about helping the elderly as it is making a few dollars. Thanks!! Glen
  8. To answer your question as simply as possible- YES. I am having to allow people to make half payments for repaired equipment so they can use it, then trusting them to pay the other half the next week when they get paid again. This is something I would have never considered, but since I am going through the same plight, I have found a new understanding. It's not all about money- it's about helping those in need and working with them to help them afford their bills when they are able to. It's a risk, I know, but it's also a benefit to them and to myself, as I don't know of anyone who would ever
  9. I can still remember when IT's were making over 100K/Yr. I also remember that it didn't take long for the average Joe (like myself and many others) to educate themselves rather quickly on networking. In the late 90's I saw IT's drop like flies as a result. Granted, I have a few friends who went to school to train to be IT's and they're happy as a pig in a waller making the average 40K/Yr. Not bad money, but nothing like the inflated rates when IT service first hit the market. Then comes along Vista and 7......then everything went to hell in a hand basket. Most of the companies I worked for
  10. Got your PM....wanna talk some turkey? 678-315-8794 Glenn
  11. No, I did not pay a lot for it, so no worries there. Most of the money I spent went into replacing some parts, a new battery, etc. Check on the engine though, because most JD's that come to me have 19-20 HP Briggs engines on them. A V-Twin Kohler makes all the difference in the price, as they are exceptionally well built engines and very expensive. I'm going to run up to Home Depot today anyway, and while I'm there, I'll check out what they have to make sure I'm pricing this as fair as possible.
  12. I have read a lot about people changing out the fluid to help boost the power, but the results are slim at best. However, they do sell a kit that you can install (it's rather pricey) that will increase the power of the transmission 3 fold. A big problem with hydrostatic transmissions is they can only handle a moderate grade. I forget the actual slope percentage, but it's listed in the manual, and it's only like a 4% grade max. The kits can increase the slope up to 10-12%.
  13. I always google very well in order to price a piece of equipment. Allow me to provide some information- Engine Link The price I listed was from the John Deere Site. I was able to find one on e-bay for $3200, but it did not have the V-Tiwn Kohler engine. I apologize for any confusion, and did not intend to infer that this was an $8,000 machine, other than what I saw listed on the official site. I have been to Home Depot and checked out several (Chinese knock-off's) for about $2500. The average consumer should be aware that the mill thickness of the deck is thinner, the spindles are
  14. I have a John Deere L130 Automatic Lawn Tractor that I need to sell to the right buyer. Everything works on the mower except the rear end transaxle needs to be replaced. I can't afford the repair (a new trans installed by the dealer is approx. $600) The trans by itself costs $550. The mower is worth about $2500 being a used mower. The replacement for this model is shown at 8K on the Official John Deere site brand new. So if a buyer had the extra $600 to have the rear end replaced, they would be getting a pretty good deal It has a Kohler Command 23 HP V-Twin engine that runs great. The PTO work
  15. Something tells me you'll be doing much better in the weeks ahead.
  16. FOR SALE- Huskee LT4200 Lawn Tractor WITHOUT DECK. Deck has been removed so that tractor can be used to haul small trailers. Features a 7 speed trans & 18.5 HP Briggs Intek engine. Tractor is in good shape and runs terrific. Has new battery, good tires, and can get the job done! Trans drive is automatic with 7 speeds to choose from. Asking price is $350. Glenn 678-315-8794
  17. If you would be kind enough to open up and see it's not just GA.....then sure, I would agree. This GA thing has narrowed your thinking!! It's not just us, it's the whole damned nation!!! A war upon our government???? Hell yes, I would agree totally. Georgia is just ONE state of 50 who is being screwed, dude. Should we take it to Capital Hill? By ALL means, YES!!! I would gladly die in the effort to save my own children. Has logic failed? Yes, would be my answer. Is it coming down to a march of death against the FED's? Yes, it is. My head is not buried in the sand. It won't be pretty, but it's
  18. It can be complicated, so just ask Pubby or a moderator.
  19. An HONEST politician??? Jimmy Carter!!!! He was proof that honesty and integrity is no way to win the US as a Super Power. All I can add to that......is a SAD state of affairs. If Jimmy proved anything, he showed that the likes if Nixon is what wins wars. Edited to add that Obama thinks he can scribe 1K dollar bills with a crayon and construction paper. It's all BS and WE THE PEOPLE are the only ones who can stop it. We make fun of the French, yet they hold their government in contempt at all times. Where are we? (BTW, the French have some of the most contemporary weaponry available an
  20. And so shall I until the day I die. BTW, younger people can kiss my ass unless they ask for advice on how to do things they have no clue about. That's one of the things that killed our economy. You've got to keep at least ONE guru! Otherwise it's the blind leading the blind.
  21. I must take exception to your diatribe in the fact that I have MANY EGGS in MANY baskets. I am a civil engineer, a professional pianist, computer repairman, small engine mechanic, telecommunications diagnostic, and finally, a struggling artist who is only making ends meet by getting greasy and ruining the fingers that I use to play piano. Come hear me play sometime.....if you would. I have no business doing what I'm doing except that I remain a father to my children who need to be fed, one way or the other. My life is in, all effect, ruins. Yet, I will NOT give up. I will not falter, and I wil
  22. No apology necessary. It is what it is~~ I'm a bit fired up tonight. I am going to a far away place (Lake Sinclair) for the next 3 days with my youngest daughter where my wonderful GF resides. I thought this would be my best night to chime in on the horrors of today's economy. I am leaving to have a good time with my daughter, but I am also getting away from the hell that is our economy........be it only a few days. Keeping your head on straight is a must, and sometimes that means getting away from it all with the ones you love the most.
  23. I appreciate your post, more than you know. Simply put, EVERYONE has been affected by the economy (not just Ga's PM)....it swirls all the way around. Mr. Postman.....did you know that almost 40% of my customers are from elsewhere???? And may I also add that Hispanics are the BEST of all customers? They NEVER delay me, and often times pay before the job is done. They beat the doors down to get their equipment because it's how they make their living.
