abbreviations

[steve-wis 283]

Hey guys! Being new to the club, and fairly new to garden tractors and mowers, can you help me out with some of the abbreviations you are using? I assume anything gb is gear box, but beyond that I am ignorant. Help!! Steve

Here are a few for starters; 1. BGB = bevel gear box. 2. FDT = Foot dragging tractor 3. RBT = Running Board Tractor 4. MWGMS = Montgomery Ward Garden Mark Squire (I just made that one up) 5. NOS = New old stock LOL = Laugh out loud I hope this helps. jh

Kent I would agree MOST of the BS around here is Briggs & Stratton .....but not always ROFL = rolling on floor laughing

"IMHO - In my honest opinion (not all opinions are honest I guess)" IHMO can also mean "In my humble opinion".

not really an abbreviation but for new people it would be nice to define what a "large frame" means. That was confusing to me at first. I thought it meant the PowerMax class. -Don

One other clarification - "Welcome to the SITE" is appropriate for this initial thread starter since CLUB membership and hence a "Welcome to the Club", requires payment of dues.
