Reel Mower Freak 125 #1 Posted April 10, 2016 Hello all. I've always used this site as a resource but had never joined until I was nudged to from a friend on another site.Thanks Digger66. There sure is a lot of knowledge on here from a lot of very skilled members which is a huge asset to me. I just picked up a Raider10 with a mower deck and snowblower. I already have a C141 in the garage so it was a nice fit. I cut grass with a JD Z445 but wanted the WH for pulling the roller and aerator as the Deere finds the roller pretty heavy.I hope to clear snow with it this winter. I have 8 or 9 power reel mowers. Just like the old engines and getting them in shape again. For now the Raider will be getting my attention. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Raider has the power lift on it and the PO didn't have a grasp on how to wire a dp dt switch for reversing the polarity. It was all messed up but works great now. Yes I used it as a reason to lower my offer. I kinda had an online battle with the seller over the last few months so I used everything I could find to lower the price. It was more than fair after what he put me through. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reel Mower Freak 125 #18 Posted April 14, 2016 My green and yellow works okay but I'm not joining a site. The black and yellow screams and is a winter passion to get me through until spring. Anyone that hasn't tried snowmobiling in the last ten years should give it a try.Awesome how far they have come.Addictive for sure. And they have motors so you guys should like them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WNYPCRepair 1,918 #21 Posted April 15, 2016 I'm afraid to have one. I had a motorcycle and jet ski, almost killed myself on both. Something in me is wired to only be able to go full throttle.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
