Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Thanks, guys, for the kind comments.

The tractor, Nick, is a dandy, with a Kohler engine that should last forever. Oddly enough, though, just after the warranty expired BOTH rear axle seals failed, despite promotional literature that said they would last forever, and the manufacturer refused to help. On the other hand, the dealer from whom I bought the tractor was outraged, and replaced both seals for the cost of the parts (Good thing, too, as I didn't feel like removing the entire transaxle to replace the seals).

Charlie, I get the impression that you're an O-gauge locomotive guru. If this is correct, I have a question for you. Please let me know.

Not a guru, but I had a long time in the O Gauge Hobby before getting into Model Steam Engines.

I recently bought a Cub Lawnmower.  I have abused the crap out of it and it has worked very well so far.  52" cutting blade.
