Vee belts
Comments (4)that model number says yer machine is about 10 yrs old and has a variable speed tranny setup (not a hydro). Those type trannies use TWO belts and need to be OEM (both purch as a set from MTD). follow the link below to d/l a Troy-Bilt manual - it has directions/warnings for tranny belts changeout. Also use this link for a owner's manual to that Briggs engine (copy/paste into yer browser's address bar): http://manuals.mtdproducts.com/mtd/Safety.do?pid=138543&model_num=14BV809H063&serial_num=00000000000&filename=274794.pdf Here is a link that might be useful: Troy-Bilt manual...See Morestupid newbie question...
Comments (1)Hello ! Easy to answer :-) Viola (general latin name) is the family. In that family there are 2 members: pansy and violet. Violette is just the French for violet :-) The problem: all names started with viola so that U CAN'T make the difference between pansy and violet thanks the name :-( Once when I was a totally newbie I bought a viola Rebeca and discover it was a pansy (YUKY !!!) Take care. Thierry....See MoreQuestion for those of you who've been to England
Comments (11)We have been to England several times over a period of many years. Our daughter studied in London during her junior years of college, due in part to her being an Anglophile, and also due to what she saw on a previous trip with us. It was just enough to whet her appetite for more. The English do take gardening seriously and I think they have an appreciation for just how beaufiful their surroundings are. Most take a great deal of pride in their gardens. In the Cotswalds-my favorite area-there are the most wonderful B&B's in quaint little towns. Depending on the time of year, tea is often served in the garden. Ahhhh lovely! The grand gardens of Blenheim Palace are a sight to behold. Of course, many of the grand old palaces had mulpiple gardeners to take care of the grounds. Even in the city, the tiny front yards of many homes are full of flowers-no grass to mow. I'm all for that. I have attempted a small English-style garden in our front yard and will post pics in the spring when the snow melts. My husband and I have been talking about taking a trip across the pond. Hmmm, might have to get serious and plan it!...See MoreEnglish Food Question
Comments (74)We have a similar organisation, the Country Women's Association, which started as a mutual support group for women who often lived fairly isolated existences as they helped their husbands run farms (which tend to be larger and further apart than US and European farms). A typical smaller farm is about 300 acres, where I live they run 2000-3000 acres and up north we're talking square miles. Often the wives only visited town on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, and the CWA provided a place where the women could meet, have a cup of tea and a bite of lunch, and rest in between racketing around the shops (and stay while hubby visited the pub, a men-only preserve then). The CWA brought out a cookbook full of tried and true recipes and household hints, which they have continues to update and reissue oer the years. I think it would be a rare household in Australia which doesn't have a copy of The CWA Cook Book lurking somewhere! Now the CWA is in the forefront of organising drought relief, projects to assist babies and children both here and overseas, and heaps of other activities, in addition to the traditional mutual support and teaching activities. There is a documentary on them at the moment being screened on TV, called Not all Tea and Scones, which is quite an appropriate title :-)....See Morewoodnymph2_gw
