that' looks great!

it's been super nice today ..... although still wet, and sloppy ... almost 70 .... then a drop in temps over night .... and , every farmer is planting corn late this year ... i haven't seen the 1st garden plot tilled up yet .. all this wet cold weather isn't helping things around here ...

nice score. .... when we come up there to protest .... I'll be glad to take that off your hands :-)

reckon they will lower the price of red meat if this one gets out ??

that's a rough deal there .... man

i think yellow would just fine .... (eye catching for sure!) ... I've been looking at the rear wheel setup ....maybe I'm not seeing what you are but doesn't look like that bar will be in the way of the rear discharge chute, or is there something I'm not seeing ? and one question ... where do you plan on mounting the power plant, in this older pic ... right up front would ( center of those braces most likely ) be a good place. another plus would be a shorter drive belt. you could build a slightly elevated platform .... and i don't think hitch weight would be an issue

thank you @jeffo21

welcome to ATVH.

i think that's kind of the nature of those mower magnetic clutches with age ? I've heard many of them squeal, a week battery can sure effect them... but doesn't sound like it in your case .. .. does it squeal all the time after it's disengaged ?? or just till the deck stops turning ? before i rush off to a repare shop... I'd speak to @Misterclean i believe some have a brake of some sort ... it not familure with that model here's a good place to dig around in. https://www.tractorforum.com/

you know what they say .... pics / videos are worth a thousand words .. lol!

related to fishes post that's very sad ... fish .... we had a neighbor (older retired farmer) he was bush hogging the lot in front of his house ... on a ford 4000 (may have been standing ? ) and ended up ether thrown , or falling off .. and went under ... too .... i heard it all via radio traffic .... only the older members of fire rescue / ems were allowed to go to the call... i talked with a friend later ... all he could say .... was it was bad!

i think ... a 48 with a cheater pipe would do just as good (used to tighten disk gang axle nuts ) .... ... you've heard about those sky hooks haven't ya, fish ..... lol! I've messed with a bunch of 3/4 and one inch drive ... talk about some big $$$ invested in those tools .. have you got one of those torque multipliers ?

oh... I've been there before .... kind of sounds like maybe ?? the rear tires needed just a bit more pressure ... ??

@toodeep check these snapper mulching blades out .... i used to think gator blades were not easy to sharpen ... but these ... are a pita ! i have set of these ... and to turn the curve on sharpening a bit ... i kept these coated with layer on top of layer of paint ... truck bed liner etc ... thing is ... i had to mow every few days ...

yes but that being said .. most of the higher horse power (small) engines .. 18 hp and above would most likely be full pressure oiling ... oil starvation wont be any issues on 30% grades ... if you wanted to really keep a eye ... you could always add a pressure gauge .. and as toodeep stated .. some come with a low engine oil shut off, my 35 ton wood splitter has a Kohlar ...built in safety switch ... but sense it's astationary unit .... i use a bubble level to completely level the machine before splitting ..

you beat me to it ... ^^^^ lol Haynes is just as bad ...

had another nice day 50 - 60 for the high ... then back down with the temps .. and more rain coming ... sure looks to be a wet sloppy season for the rest of April ...

check this one out it would be even better self propelled. https://www.farmshow.com/archives.php lots of slick home builds here ^^

and you worried about gaining weight ?? haha .... that meal would do it!

this NASCAR season has been (obviously) effected .... but! there have been some rebroadcast of some great classic races! next up. the 2009 Aaron's 499 Saturday at Talladega super speedway 4-18 11 am. direct tv channel 17.
