Are you trying to me make poor? @echris Has any one of us told you about the "herd" thing? You know.... How a hair covered horse is a herd animal.... And apparently so is a paint covered horse.... Don't fight it. Just build a bigger shed/shop/garage etc. Trina and I had one 3 or 4 years ago. 4 now. More soon. Oh man.... 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,902 #5159 Posted June 10, 2020 Tilled a few rows through the garden yesterday, but ran out of gas and forgot about Putt Putt as it poured rain all night...

Richard...that’s the same way with old Rusty, my 1054-A... Hasn’t been out one single night since I brought him home last year but I expect that PO’s had him out quite a bit through the years. It still remains a mystery that the steering wheel, seat, and controls are in as good of shape as they are considering the heavy patina of the metal...I hadn’t run him in a couple of weeks and so last night took him for a trot around the property to look at the fruit trees before the heavy rain settled in and then tucked him back in the stable😁 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnymag3 2,520 #5174 Posted June 11, 2020 Mowed with the 418 A.....Adjusted the air pressure in all of the other Horses tires.....Took off the blades from the 312 deck, going out for sharpening.....inspected the 37 inch deck blades, they have a weird lift wing attached to them for the bagger....think im going to replace them . Finally...adjusted the stack on the 1257, with the new lock nuts I bought from a place that deals with over priced...ultra heavy duty electrical stuff. Was worth every penny, these lock nuts are twice if not more than 3 times thicker than Home CHEAPO Chinese electrical items,,,and they were twice the price. BUT THE HORSES ARE WORTH IT !!!!! We only live once, so enjoy the moment, listen to the bop, bop, bop bop, bop and love your machines. Seal and Crofts were right when they said.....".We may never pass this way again" ...I believe they were right..
