Another picture of the ol' tractor ready for work.
So far I was nothing but impressed by what the
little guy could do last summer it more than paid
for itself in the amount of dirt I moved with the box
blade and grader blade. Leveled out alot of area and
about to start back to work on it again...
Got the ol mower back together today and tried it out so far it
works like new and is very much quieter than before I can actually
hear my tractor running now so I am ready for mowing season.

Got started on the spindles this weekend I got them removed
and the old bearings pressed out. I installed one set of bearing
races but still have the other set to go. Then press everything
back in. Here are a few photos.

Got back on the mower the last two weeks and got the bushings and pulleys off, plan is this
weekend to press off the bearings and reinstall new bearings and seals and reinstall.
Dave
Haven't got to work on the mower lately
I got put on 7/12.5 hour days at work
and haven't had a day off to work on
it any. Hopefully I will be able to get
back on it in November.
Dave
Got the mower hooked up today and
it was quieter but still louder than I
think it should be so I think I will
change out the other two sets of
bearings and see if that helps.
Dave
Been hoping for rain and it came today
so I wasn't able to hook up the mower
without making a mess of the grass so
I will give it a day or so to dry out.
Dave
Got everything back together over the weekend after breaking
another temporary bolt off in the pulley and having to remove
the pulley back off and get it out. Also drilled out the other
broken one before that. I think it's ready to go now so hopefully
tomorrow after work I can try it out. I'll...
Been working on my mower for a few weeks it had a bad bearing due
to the previous owner running over poly twine continuously. And it
got into the bearings. Here is some photos of what I found.
