Help results
 

Just joined the OCC.
Made my first post, a request for info and links to manuals and help.

One guy responds with: It's crap, junk it.
No help other than there was a post a week ago about this.

This the normal response from the people on here??

I respond to an outboard repair site. I've posted over 11,000 times and never once did I ever post anything like this.

If you DON'T want to help?? DON"T RESPOND!!!

I responded with a link to another thread.... did you read that? Time is money also....No user serviceable parts on the POS ZT...

Happens all the time here: New guy joins just to get an answer. Probably has no interest in cub cadets. The answer given is not what he wants to hear. Now he lashes out at posters.

Ditto..... :ThumbsUp:

I read and re-read this post a few times and see the OP's point. It seems to me the point of contention is the disrespective post saying the machine he owns, that probably thousands own is a "throw away machine".

Whether it is, or whether it is not is not for the peanut gallery to say to the owner. It's like saying your kid is ugly. Disrespectful even if the kid is indeed butt ugly.

May I make a suggestion? The answer should have been:

"It would seem your machine's hydro is pretty much unserviceable and you may be better served by looking for a replacement. ".

Whether this poster becomes part of the community or not deserves at least a better welcome. Otherwise, we are all just a crusty bunch of dudes with a tractor fetish.

I don't think the machine is his and, I believe in brevity

Shotgun..


Good point.

Well said. I echo your thoughts and writing. We should never turn down the opportunity to turn a stranger into a friend. That translates to the Golden Rule, pure and simple.

I'm a rank newb. But....I'm a crusty dude with a tractor fetish. Maybe I'll fit in... ;-)

Well said, SW! If someone can't say anything nice, then don't say anything! :beerchug:
