Hello Heidita - I had my grandsons at my place this weekend - hard to do anything much - perhaps next time if there's a "possie" available? Could I "accept" you now perhaps? - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 1

¿podría ser un cortacésped?

Oooo, Ira, I'll bet you got it. That last clue does look like a mower blade. - Yeser007, Jul 18, 2010

Bien hecho Ianoni1 - mi OM es un cortacésped - explicaré muy pronto :o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

It's actually what we call here a "push mower" :o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 2

Is it a scaffold = andamio?

Hola Rikko - no, mi OM no es un andamio - pero gracias ya me aprendido una nueva palabra :o. (Mi OM tiene "aproximadamente" un metro. - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

me he aprendido - 00494d19, Jul 19, 2010

Answer 3

The winder on your hills hoist.The part which stos it from slipping down

---

Un gran respuesta Ray - pero no, mi OM no tiene nada con "Hills hoists" . (I'm laughing and wondering if the rest of the world knows what a "Hills Hoist" is?) - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Shall I post a picture? - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Well I'm going to call it a day for now....see you all in about ten hours:o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

pues no, no se lo que es un hill¡s hoist. *no tiene nada que ver con... - 00494d19, Jul 18, 2010

Your "hill hoist" seems to be what we call a clothes line. Why you call it a hill hoist is something I would sure like to hear. - Yeser007, Jul 18, 2010

Yesero - I have posted a link about "Hills Hoists" further down :o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Rotary airer or clothes line in UK. - fontanero, Jul 19, 2010

Answer 4

Looks similar to a "wingnut" or "butterfly nut" fixing. Not sure what other terms are used for them around the world. Could be used on almost anything that has a temporary fixing or adjustment.

Could be a tripod for a worklight, or a lawnmower handle.

Un trípode para luz de trabajos, o el mango de cortadora.

Spanish needs correcting as always.

Hola fontanero - gran respuesta - y ciertamente mi OM tiene un tipo de "tuerca mariposa" para el ajuste y tambien su respuesta es va por el buen camino:o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 5

Part of the connection for the garden watering system.

Hola Ray - tristemente su respuesta no es correcta :( Pero - aparte de este - ¿cómo está? Aquí hace frío :( - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

aparte de esto... - 00494d19, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 6

These are getting harder and harder Annie. Is it the 'stand' for a sun umbrella? (Shown up side down?)

Hola Margaret - buen intento, pero no, mi OM no tiene nada que ver con una paragua:o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

un paruaguas - 00494d19, Jul 19, 2010

Answer 7

Good one Annie. Like Fontanero I was going with the halogen worklight adjuster but pista #1 really confuses me.

Hola yesero - Utilizado mi OM en mi jardín y almaceno mi OM en mi cobertizo. :o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Mr Hill invented the "Hills Hoist" and sold it to you poor needy people over there. To hang out your Clothes to dry. - ray76, Jul 18, 2010

And to hoist them up in the air. - ray76, Jul 18, 2010

We often call them "a plasterers light", but they tend to be florescent not halogen. - fontanero, Jul 19, 2010

Answer 8

Is it a fire dept. exterior hookup for a sprinkler system ?

Hola Albert - no - mi MO no tiene nada que ver con sistemas rociadores :( - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 9

Utilizado mi OM en mi jardín y almaceno mi OM en mi cobertizo

Ok it has to be a tool of some sort but it is making me think of a wagon wheel or the large wheel of a farming machine, maybe a planter or a wheel on those big devices that haul out the irrigation hoses?

Margaret - gran respuesta pero no es correcto :( - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 10

(Not a clue but "something" for Yesero - about "Hills Hoists" - a feature of nearly every Australian backyard for the last fifty-sixty years :o

And...my first successful linking of an outside text

link text

Thanks Annie, now I get it, Hill is his name. Pretty neat idea, I don't know if we have them around here but then I'm a guy, what do I know. - Yeser007, Jul 18, 2010

To be sure a great invention:o Gotta head out for a bit but will return in an hour or two :o - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 11

¡Pista numero 1!

Answer 12

Bien hecho Izanoni!

Mi objeto misterioso es un cortacésped.

(The other translations I found for this were "cortadora" and "podadora".)

This one is actually what we call a "push mower" (no engine).

---

Annie, wasn't that part of fontanero's answer earlier? He focused on the handle though. :) - Rikko, Jul 18, 2010

I will vote for his answer so he'd tie the score with Izanoni. :) - Rikko, Jul 18, 2010

Rikko - That's a good idea to give Fontanero an extra vote-thanks- ..I did mull over that answer but decided that I needed more than "lawnmower handle" to "accept" -.it is a bit tricky sometimes :( - nonombre, Jul 18, 2010

Thank you Rikko. - fontanero, Jul 19, 2010
