FEL, TORO Groundsmaster Put Together

[Xfaxman]

The same way I learned it's not a good idea to drive up to the mower deck when reattaching when the pto shaft guard is broken and snags the go pedal linkage and propels you into your table saw and slide it half way across the garage floor before hitting the stop button! This was a reply to you adding the guard to the go pedal.

Yep, once something hits the go pedal linkage under there, there is no stopping forward movement. You can't push hard enough on the reverse part of the pedal. Turning off the key is all you can do.

Here is the description that is with the picture:

1-30-2005 Added a guard to prevent full speed forward, when it touches a tree trunk at the edge of the burn pile. Guess how I know it would do that! :laughing:

And to make matters worse the person I bought it from added a hand lever to the pedal so he could use his cane and it sticks down even farther! lol Needless to say I will be removing that!

Looks like something else I need to do

The guard that xfaxman made for his I think is only on the machine he made the loader for, i'm not sure if it will work with the deck in place. and again as long as you push the deck to the mower with it not running you should not have a problem.

Right, only on the loader.

Noticed that there are not many pictures of the bucket in this thread, so here are some:

I have always put the 4' box blade on with the rippers at the rear so I could use it in Float while backing up:

For this job I put the rippers to the front so I could move some dirt and level an area:

Pulled the cedar tree with the V417:

Shook the dirt from the roots and laid it on the ground.

With the box blade curled vertical, drove into the roots, curled it all the way back trapping the trunk above the rippers and raised the loader:
