I use one of these https://www.amazon.com/7BLACKSMITHS-Trailer-Receiver-Bobcat-Tractor/dp/B07JZ5FJDC/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3TPRCXWHGTK41&keywords=clamp+on+trailer+hitch+2%22+ball+mount+receiver+adapter+tractor+bucket&qid=1680542939&sprefix=tractor+bucket+ball+mount%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-5 I have a Miller...

I have a 2006 Yamaha Rhino, and it has a lockable (and unlockable) rear diff, in addition to 4x4. Sure glad to have it this year, we're at 288% of normal rainfall so far.

Fresh gas?

My wife claimed the first one of these I bought. I liked it enough to buy a second one. The vast majority of our use is on oak trees, and these little buggers work hard. My Jonsered CS2255 rarely gets used anymore. We wore out the chain tensioner on one of them, only about ten bucks to...

I mow some pretty steep hills with the older version of https://www.advancedmower.com/new-models/2022-husqvarna-ts-348xd-960-43-03-19-28558565b . I put lugged tires on the rear. The electric locking differential makes all the difference.

Correct. There are several pictures on the link. Mine are screwed on, as we get lots of wind.

We live among hundreds of oak trees, and have wind often. Gutter covers eliminated the problems for us. Got them from Costco. https://www.costco.com/easyon-gutter-guard-5%E2%80%9D-version---100%E2%80%99-.product.100019377.html

It appears they no longer make the vertical shaft model.

My property is 5 acres, steep grades, and mostly native grasses, weeds, and brush. I needed a manually-locking transaxle. The mower I bought has a Kawasaki twin, a heavy duty transaxle with locking, and will climb hills with the front wheels off the ground. Overkill for most others, but...

You might want to keep an eye out on Craigslist. When I bought my house, a JD L130 came with it. It had a Kohler Command in it, ran great. The transaxle was awful, but the engine was great. Sold it for $400 to a guy with a level yard. You may be able to find a good engine in a junk mower...

Again, there is no welding process for thin, DIRTY metal - and the OP kinda indicates that he's not interested in cleaning off the years of buildup prior to welding. That's why I suggested a quick and dirty solution using pop rivets.

Any welding will require clean metal. Pop rivets and a piece of sheet metal will not. Much less effort. Doesn't sound like beautification is the goal here.

An alternative would be to pop rivet a piece of sheet inside the fender. Not as elegant, but a quick and dirty way to get the job done.

So how, exactly, will you fix the problem?
