[AT] Cub Cadet LT-1050 broken drive belt

[Howard Rawls]

Fellows, since this is still my thread ;-) I will comment on the hazards of mowing. I recently heard of  a woman who ran over a short piece of wire and it came up and stuck all the way through her thigh. Just thinking about that makes me be more careful. Another thing I saw that I could hardly believe was a man that sat his baby down on the ground and then cranked up his weedeater and started mowing right around the baby. Some people just can't seem to see danger in anything. Oh, I made the fellow stop and then had to explain to him how he was risking his baby's eyesight.
Good thread fellows, but maybe it's time to change the name?? ;-)
