This is one of my favorite memories of this hobby since I started........and always will be! I am honored of having the opportunity to have met him. You will always be in all of our hearts......Mr. Pond. You will be missed, but what you have created will live on forever and bring joy to many for generations to come. Clay

Well this is my first thread of the new year, and just happens to be post no. 6000 well I planned it that way and this is a post about nothing more, Cheers and Happy New Year :party:

This is my favorite picture of him. He was amazed when we lined up virtually every model he made. Look at that smile, he was like a little kid in a candy store.

hi all, here is a pic of the belt guard mods i made to my C200 with loader. this has the onan 20hp engine in it. i borrowed an electricians knock out punch tool from a co-worker. each hole is 1.125 inches. boy does that flow a lot of air now!. sorry for the double post. i struggle with the computer. mike in mass.

hi everyone, i met my friend RC about 20 years ago. he has done a lot of favors for me. so i decided to do something for him. i picked up this 312 off craigslist in CT. it came with a 42inch sd deck. the deck had one crack in it that the PO had welded up. i applied 2 coats of POR 15 to the underside of the deck. i sharpened the blades and greased the spindles. the tractor paint and decals were in pretty good shape. i had to replace the coil/module. all 4 tires needed replacement. i upgraded the front from 6 inch to the 16x6.50x8 size carlisle turfs.. the rears were 22x9x12, i put on 23x8.50x12's carlisle turfs. painted all 4 wheels silver. the axle seals had been leaking for a long time. the unidrive was a giant blob of dirt,grass clippings and oil. i spent mucho time cleaning it. i replaced the axle seals and refilled the unidrive with fresh 85w-90 weight gear oil. the shifter boot was in good shape. i added new fuel line with an inline filter. cleaned the carb too. new plug and fresh rotella T 30weight oil in the kohler. i added the dial-a-height feature. i painted a few odds and ends. new floor board mats. re-soldered the wires to the headlight so they work now. my friend RC was speechless when i delivered it to him and said" here is a wheelhorse for you." hope you guys like the pics. mike in mass.

Rest in peace, Mr. Pond.

Here's the studs and how it hangs on the straight axle. Doesn't really seem safe by todays standards but I doubt if you can pop a wheelie with this hawg on the front! If you had calcium in the front wheels, add another 50lbs. What a tank....Hammerhead
