As a newer member here, I usually feel like I'm not experienced enough to answer most questions even though I've read many manuals to make myself and expert on my specific equipment. Since joining, I've become much more confident in my knowledge of cub repair but most questions I see are one of two things: one, something that is like beating a dead horse and easy to fix (oil/pto/won't start); or two, something that I myself am not familiar with so I don't try to chime in with some half-assed answer. In that sense, I'm grateful for members like Rescue11 and J-MECH for pointing people to where they can find the answer that are simple and giving advice on things they are knowledgeable on. As a teacher, it is very apparent that looking for the answers yourself is one of the best ways to learn.
Since I've been a member on here for a while, I have become aware of my ignorant mistakes and dumb questions I have asked. I know my first post was asking about if anyone had made a homemade three point because after many hours of searching, I hadn't found one that fit what I was looking for. I still haven't found what I was looking for over a year ago and am to the point of F-it that I'm just going to trial and error until I find it myself. This will probably be a disaster and not to everyones' tastes, but it is something that I feel could better the group and other to learn from my mistakes.
I appreciate those that set me straight and those that have contributed so much good information to the site from their own projects. I don't make useless post like this is some sort of brag board, if I post something, it is because it has something that I think contributes to the site. I apologize if my rebuild thread about my snowthrower is seen as begging for attention and gratification. I only posted because I thought it contributed to the site and that someone might be interested in the improvements I made. I'll be more selective of what I post from now on.
