RANT, RAMBLE, samesame
A touch of Spring Fever in the Main Forum
Anyway: Rant or Ramble or Spring Fever what a Hell of a day here. 2 Cubs I've got ready to go for friends and not a thing to mow with myself. 7 mower decks kicking around (21 spindles) and hard to find 3 sindles that were ok and matched. NFW it could have come together without a air wrench!
When all was done, I was able to do this with Jeanne's 125:
Looks good from both directions:
Dennis Frisk: I moved this rock from the wethole you see with a Farmall H. (Old Empty Busch Beer can for reference). (YA, right)!
I was very close to giving up on the deck "rebuild" when Jeanne came home with the mail. New tensioner pulley springs. (THANK YOU CHARLIE)!! Can't quit now! (Seriously, I was thinking Sears Credit Card - I wanted to MOW).
So, for what it's worth, I no longer fear that the grass will overrun us, passersby will know someone lives here, and I don't have a "lawn" that will ever accept the Simplicity Stripes. CUB CADET BELLY MOWER/BUSH HOG works on this property.
