I love those kids! reminds me of a baby shower my wife attended a long table top was set on top of a trailer (few if any probably realized this because the trailer was mostly covered by tablecloth, etc) when it was time to clean up - and to the amazement of many in attendance - a young gal grabbed a small tractor and hooked it to the trailer / table and then towed it to a small barn / shed two thumbs up ! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WEAR PROPER FOOTWEAR WHEN OPERATING POWER EQUIPMENT! danger from spinning blades and belts aside- i have poison ivy all over my legs and ankles from field mowing/weedwacking in shorts and crocs. some of it's pretty bad- looks like the chemical burn on the back of Ed Norton's hand from the movie Fight Club... it'll be jeans and boots from now on even in 90 degree weather. 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have all of the other numbers, but I cant make out this decal to the right of the internal governor decal on the engine. I also know I gave all of the numbers to some folks here a month ago appx. and it had the spec number, and all of the other info I wiped off !!!

I would need them to give to Terry to make my new decal right? Or can he pull those up from the main decal on the tractor? Thanks again I was in error, its the 310-8 Tractor Edited June 5, 2020 by johnnymag3 wrong tractor mentioned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnymag3 2,520 #5046 Posted June 5, 2020 Ok....great ! I got the numbers, they are very lightly pressed into the decals, and when a dummy like me tries to clean every square inch, sometimes I get too aggressive with the polish, or cleaner agent. Its my OCD I guess....but I like to keep my STUFF nice !!! Thanks for helping as usual, you guys have all the answers !!! Respect the RED , John 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,609 #5048 Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) After mowing the lawn yesterday and then getting a 1/2" of rain this morning made the perfect conditions for rolling the the lawn today. I hooked up my C-141 to the lawn roller that I got from @dclarke for some high speed action. I rolled my whole lawn in low 1. To take this picture I set the tractor on "auto pilot" and stepped off for a photo shoot. This C-141 is such a sweet running machine. I can hardly believe that I only paid $125 for it, plus I got a C-101 parts tractor included in the deal. What a great score. Denny, the roller works great!! The only change that I might make is to shorten the axle stubs a bit. I hooked them on a few things in the yard while I was rolling, nothing serious, just a couple of nicks.

I have learned the hard way that I always need long pants on when running a weed whacker/trimmer. Our yard is very sandy/rocky and the strings like to catapult the little aggregates at a high rate of speed at my legs. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
