steve-wis 624 Posted July 4, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnmonkey 4 Posted July 4, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DMedal 1 Posted July 5, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronPony 3 Posted July 5, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
