What Roundup does to a lawn mower.....

[brewmax]

reminds me of a story my uncle told me once. hes a tractor jockey and had a fellow call him once and wanna know if he wanted to bid on a salvage 8400 deere tractor. he says well i might whats wrong with it-------the hired hadn poured roundup in it thinking it was hydralic oil. it was taken to the dealer to be disassembled and cleaned out. they never could get it clean. the tractor had like 2000 hours on it was all. he bid, but not enough and a salvage yard ended up with it. they thought they had enough parts in inventory to fix it--------they didnt they finally parted it out

I like your thinkin!

I still have an old Murray rider with a worn out 14hp horizontal twin! Wonder how it will hold up to a 7.62x39 round in the cyl head while running at WFO :rofl:
See how long it will run as a single cyl with a dead cylinder attatched!!!
Hmmm? another Nitromethane canidate! Hell how bout I richen it till it chokes and plug some Nitrous to her while im at it! :devil: :rofl:
I can be rather destructive at times! , its lottsa fun! I won't be happy till it pukes the crank out the pan with the con-rods twisted like a pretzel:angel:

Oh man I can believe it! I know the crap is sticky, but you get it hot/warm and it really sticks! The hydraulics were pretty touchy with the first 8000 series that came out anyway, especially with the power shifts. You know how the old "sugar in a gas tank" was supposed to wreck a motor but I think it was an urban myth--Try Roundup, I bet it works! On that note and a little OT, back in my early college years we used to have keg parties every weekend at our place, just outside of city limits. After a month or so some less desirable people kept showing up and starting fights with everyone. After the 3rd week of that I got pissed and went out and turned thier oil filter a couple of turns loose. They didnt make it 2 miles.....and never came back!

Wow, at first I was thinking I would never admit doing that on the internet, along with pictures. But, I think the guy really thought it was supposed to go in the oil at first!
