Bob-a week ago I believed the same thing it was 60 degrees in Rhode Island and I rototilled my garden I was prepping my 125 for its first grass cutting as it's new owner and tonight I put the qa36 back on it pulled the mower deck back off and put my chickens in there coop early to protect them from 18 degrees it is now,man this weather just keeps getting freakier and freakier

And after our 60 degree February in IL we are supposed to get 4-6" of snow tonight.......nuts!

Ethan,

You could always take the 125 all apart and do a complete restoration!

Marty-I had thought about a complete Resto but decided to clean it up paint a few selected parts and keep it "barn fresh" I'll save the complete resto for my o or QL when I eventually get them

I'm waiting on the final guesses, 1-3 or 6-9 or? I'm just happy the blade is still on my 100 and I procrastinated taking the blade off dad's 1450.

Talking 3-4 inches of snow with some wind. I haven't had to move yet this winter.....may change.
My other 100 wanted to get involve.

Tree roots will stop you right now

Catching up after a few days away... The PTO safety switch on my less than Correct Police correct 129 works fine, but I found one of those nice chrome "lockout" style switches (uses a key to lock in either position) and wired the switch as a jumper across the PTO SS so that if I was using the 129 without something on the PTO, I could start it with the PTO engaged, since my "finely tuned" non-brake style PTO always wanted to spin (and take out the button) when disengaged, even with new bearings. Another fix woulda been a big sign on the steering wheel to engage the PTO after starting, but one turn of the jumper switch if I do install a PTO implement takes care of it all..

Marty, that just reminded me, I DID mow, to an extent, with the 1200 and a push blade once. Mostly knocked down tall cattail looking things at a friend's barn. I drove over em when they were standing up, most broke off a couple inches high. Then we finished actual mowing with a mower. Oh how I wish I'd a taken pics!!!
