BPEisenhower 535 #1 Posted April 21 Hello All! Yet another time I didn't sleep, however, productive. Power goes out before midnight, therefore my much needed fan is no longer making background noise and I know for a fact that coffee will be required soon (not for my purposes but safety. I say safety because for whatever reason, Folgers is the only elixir that staves off my fiance's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personality before she goes to work). Thank goodness for a Stanley thermos for holding a pot of coffee! So at 3 AM, liquid sanity is poured and life is not so bad, and I have an 'atta boy's in my favor. I now know my phone won't be melting from angry texts of how bad waking up was. At 4 AM and no power yet, I leave, pull the C125 out and remove the little deck ( not going to cut off chute) and install the 48 inch. After sharpening blades, greasing spindles, I wait for sunrise. Definitely worth the effort of servicing. Mowed 3 acres with no problems. Can't believe how even this cuts and comfortable to run. Love the Kohler exhaust thump at idle. Someone should make that a download for relaxing. Possibly between the distant thunderstorm and rain on a tin roof sounds ( cut me in for 2% legacy fee please). Lol 😅. Anyways, I have to know why it is that anytime I am by a busy road, the only time people stop and ask if I would sell a tractor is if a Wheel Horse is working. Had two men circling like vultures watching me. I'm about to put Not For Sale signs on the back so people get the clue. BTW, this guy got fed homemade ziti and butter bread for dinner since there was coffee this morning 🌞, wonder what she wants me to buy and if it requires a passport 😜 6 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,506 #2 Posted April 21 Very nice tractor. Such an excellent find. Love the story too. And your above paragraph.... I have very few rules regulations and requirements for my existence with BBT. She does very specifically request that I make coffee every night for the following morning. In the nearly 9 years we've been together I've only forgotten or been sidelined a few times. Her rule is "no coffee, no talkie" 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did find out what happens when we are out of Folgers and replaced it with Hills Bros. She woke up fast and cursed.... A lot! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
