    Mule drive and hanger

    I got some much needed clean-up and repair on my 782's mule drive and deck hanger done over the last week or so. Got all my parts and paints from CCSpecialties and I think it turned out right well. I ran out of CC paint and needed just a little bit to finish up. Bought some Majic at TSC. Not...

It jumped as soon as I turned the blades on. Presently I'm soaking the tensioner bracket in penetrating fluid to remove it...

    The deck belt on my 44c finally broke after several years of service. I replaced both the main drive belt as well as the deck belt that drives the outer spindles. My problem, I cannot keep the deck belt from coming off. First belt I used was what the book called for. 1/2" x 77 1/2". When that...
