peter lena 8,583 #1 Posted June 11, 2019 made lawn spikier and weights from old bush vacuum pump rotors, the rotor veins are a perfect slot to hold the weights on the 6" steel channel steel frame, each rotor wt is 90 lbs, this combo really breaks up the dense clay in the lawn, helps aeration and is great for grub and seed openings . tractor is my 82 black hood with recent 12 magnum swap, lots of modifications at any problem point, bought this new in 82, coming on 40 years, regularly upgrade it , don,t even think about hrs, just stay after it. note mower deck idler pulley , that i add to all my decks , totally takes the belt bounce out of spindle drive area, very quiet. buffed out the paint with maguires clear finish and a 6" hand buffer. good day to spike the lawn , steady rain last night, Chris crossed lawn oppose any cutting areas. normally tow the smaller spiker without weight when cutting , don,t even know its there , adding holes in lawn and breaking any thatch . this is what i did today. pete 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
