Since the Wheel Horse show last year, I have been receiving the Lawn and Garden Tractor Magazine. I was fortunate to meet Kate Goelzhauser, editor, in person as well as many others who I've known for years in the cyber communities.
The latest issue has just arrived and immediately I noticed a beautiful article written by Scott Mehlberg, who I was also very fortunate to meet that same day. The article is about his annual meet and greet which has actually turned into one of the larger tractor shows in the country!
On the back page is our very own Neil's now famous Stonehenge picture along with a short paragraph. Unfortunately for me I wasn't able to meet Neil at that show, but am really looking forward to this year.
I encourage all of you to grab a subscription to the magazine, it can be found at http://www.lagtmag.com
First place for you to begin is to introduce yourself in our introductions area Here you can tell us a little bit about yourself, what kinds of machines you have and maybe a little about where you live.
You can then add yourself to our member map and check out other members who may live close to you. You never know, there may be another MoM member right next door.
Have a technical Forum question? Ask it here in our Site Suggestions / Updates & Issues area. No one is born with the knowledge how to do things on the forum, and no question is stupid. In most cases, if you have a question, there are others with the same question as well, so PLEASE ask, you'll be helping those who don't ask.
It's sad that this hasn't made the news here. I was speaking with a customer of mine who lives in your area saying that a train rail line is wiped out as well. Terrible what's going on.
I've used it in my Onan 416. The tractor had been surging so I thought that I would try some Seafoam. I gently poured some into the carburetor and really didn't notice a difference so I ended up cleaning the carb on it which made it run a lot nicer. Then put some in the tank and after that tank, it ran like new again. Not sure if it was the cleaning or the sea foam, but it didn't do anything when pouring into the carb.

Since being a young boy my family has gone camping in some sort of RV (caravan). We started with 5 of us in a 12' Pickup Camper, the kind that slide into the bed of a pickup truck and grew into a 5th wheel.
When I had kids of my own, it felt natural for us to go camping as well. We started with a 19' Hybrid camper (a solid wall unit with tent like ends which are where the beds are) then onto a 34' trailer and finally to our current 5th wheel.
Even if just for a weekend, I like to get away from home, lounge outdoors with a cold beer watching the world go by, only getting up to get another beer
Quite a nice thing to do. And I must admit a tad bit touching giving me a thought. You didn't have a badge here either and must feel similar, so here you go!
What I find interesting is the size of this. According to the verbiage, this was converted to a ride-on machine. I would love to see the pedestrian version in action!
How did you find MOM?
