I will have 2 acres, mostly flat with some trees. One ditch fairly shallow. I can't afford to spend a lot of cash. I am interested in the Sears Craftsman riding mowers that have a tight turn radius (5.5 inches) Any thoughts? Only Pietenpol content is this mower will also mow the taxiway. -- Blue Skies, Steve D ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:55:53 PM PST US From: "JERRY" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Long fuselage and Model A I am rebuilding a long fuse Piet and want to us a Model A or B. I couldn't find much on it in the archives. It looks like most of the stretch on the fuse in in the front. Has anyone done this? Thanks for any help.

Fast (9.5 mph) and looks like a rug when done. My 54" cuts in about 1/3 less time than my old 60" Y azoo. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey Boatright" Sent: Friday, January 20, 2017 3:07:21 PM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: OT Riding mower Hi Steve, I picked up an old Snapper from Craig=99s list for $50. I enjoyed reb uilding the carb and refurbing other items and now we use it to mow taxiway s and to pull a garden wagon that sometimes carries a portable generator an d sometimes carries beer. I don=99t advocate it for 2 acres, but I do advocate checking out Craigslist for fun projects that fit the bill. As to Sears Craftsman, I=99ve used an older one. Did really well for a plot the size you=99re talking. If you=99re just going to mow with it, almost anything above 8 hp will be good enough, IMO. Mine was 17 hp and was way more than needed (but cheap at $200 used!). Here=99s me imitating Forrest Gump: https://youtu.be/X8df583kSjw HTH, Jeff -- Jeffrey H.

Leading and trailing edge are clear pine. To fasten the fairing to the tubing I welded a small tab in two spots to the trailing edge of tubing where I attached small blocksize of wood that acted as a backing to screw the fairing into. I'll use some pleat her at the top and bottom to blend into wing and fuselage. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465283#465283 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/20160309_180124_177.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/20150928_165823_150.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/20150929_110207_412.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
