I think there is still air to purge because I can't get the plow the whole way up. I've found a drill is better than the engine for that though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvski80085 67 #22978 Posted Monday at 01:26 AM Still working on the mower deck. Almost all pulleys with a bearing had to be replaced. Those are now ordered. Now doing a basic paint job to stop the rust. Want all the moving parts working as they should. Takes a long time but by next weekend I should start putting together. 2 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stvski80085 67 #22980 Posted Monday at 12:59 PM From a few feet away it looks good. Not a perfect paint job but it's a mower deck so I'm ok with it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutdoorEnvy 1,715 #22984 Posted Wednesday at 12:14 AM Well we didn't get the snow we were supposed to get. We have a nice ice glazing that will hang around a few days and got a snow dusting. So decided to have some fun in the 5 degree temps and do some spin outs and figure eights! 4 3 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After all, Sparky is your name so no doubt you'll live up to that. LOL Bring a strap so I can tow you back to base camp at the Zag show! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
