There's at least two boulders in the taller part of that wall that weigh over 40,000 lbs. Even BBT ain't that strong!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desko 608 #19053 Posted May 20, 2023 I know there's no tractor in this but I can't say how impressed I am with the 60" deck I don't think I could go back to a 48" if I had to! My only complaints are why I didn't do this sooner and how big of a pain it is to slide under the tractor at time lol 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,998 #19060 Posted May 20, 2023 Got Morgan out today to haul the summer wheels/tires for the Jeep from the shed to the driveway. Pulled the winter tires off, replaced them with the summer tires, then hauled the winter set back to the shed for storage. Next job was to haul the three dock sections that I got a fresh coat of stain on the other day down by the lake, then haul the three remaining dock sections from their winter home behind the shed out into the yard where I will get a fresh coat of stain on them before setting the dock in the lake. Water temperature is in the 50's. That job won't be too bad once my legs go numb..... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,265 #19062 Posted May 21, 2023 I have been playing Tetris with the barn extension 12x80 All kinds of stuff that eventually spread from the edges in while at the same time organized storage would give a clean floor. After recovering space from behind the old Super88 Diesel by Oliver, I had the 520 with it's off-road shoes on and nudged the snow blade to the narrow front end. Even on smooth concrete it managed to move the much bigger machine backwards. Now I have 32 feet to store the hoard in front of the Diesel. Still throwing junk away and recovering shelf space, s o the adventure continues 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dotcomdz 49 #19065 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) I was pondering taking the 12.5 briggs out of this 98 Murray because I know where it came from and only used about 15 minutes a week. Anyways thought about the A100 36" I have and got to looking it just need a new 90 bottom of tank the other one screen was trashed and rusted. So cleaned it up took battery out of another. Pulled the air filter splash of gas and a temp gas line to test. Fired up runs great smoked a bit at first from carb cleaner etc. Blades run just quick spin test since haven't gave deck a once over. Looks to be a nice little 10hp rider. Edited May 22, 2023 by dotcomdz 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #19066 Posted May 22, 2023 The other day I found this on a newly acquired '97 520-H. I know this had been sitting for the last year, maybe two... and was only on snowblower duty at that point. But with summer coming on quickly I don't want to run without proper cooling installed. So, I got the part ordered, and literally a 2 minute service to change the fan body, including r&r of the wheel. It's the little things that can make a happy spot in your day, right? 16 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,815 #19069 Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Wow... another sssaawwweeettt looking hood. I'll get them out of the way tomorrow. Hood will stay Dan for you to letter. I did get the roller out and will get on it after some paint cure. Hopefully the new red will not clash with the green tires or that fine fine seat... Getting jacked up to have it done by Plainfield show. Dilemma... should I use a sediment bowl on the gas tank or just a gas cock? Wished all life's decisions were this hard!
