      From: Snag_one@msn.com               I'm not sure if I mentioned this in another post ... My neighbor had       this tractor mount post hole digger . Now it's mine . Seems the original       purchaser neglected to read the label on the gearbox which said "this       product shipped without oil . Add .8 liters of 80 or 90 weight gear oil       before using " . So for the princely sum of 117 bucks for new bearings       and seals I now have my very own post hole digger with a 9" auger . New       gear box would cost around 250 bucks but why would I do a silly thing       like that when I can rebuild it myself ? It's not about the money , it's       about braggin' rights and keeping one more item out of the scrap heap .       --       Snag       We live in a time where intelligent people       are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
