Trans filter probably changed two years ago. Yea, the fender deck (no idea what it would have been called!) Took it all down when I had to replace the inner wheel bearing on one side, but did both. I think I've figured it out. The left brake is the one that had 'flopped' with no spring...

I'm amazed. (with myself!) lol Got to thinking that if you hit the brakes, it shouldn't keep trying tp drive forward/reverse. Am I looking under the right rock? I didn't mention above, because I didn't think it important. The brakes on this are pretty useless. That's fine, I don't really...

Bought this 430 several years ago. Been working fine. Couple years ago the forward reverse lever "slowed down" Meaning, instead of going to 100% forward and 100% reverse, it might only go to 70% forward and 40% reverse. Like it's motion has narrowed. Have chassis off now (mower still on...

does he try to control direction of fall?

As been said, that looks fantastic! Place I grew up eating, (Chesters Pizza in Hamilton Ohio) also uses Grande' cheese. You can order that and have it shipped to you. At lesat, several years ago when I looked into it you could. I have the fun of having crohns and for me, this kind of cheese...

Missed this first time. It was actually a funny thing you said....but I realize you don't know Dad. Asking him what his favorite wood is (he would have none) would be like asking about the health of a twig on a tree that is on the other side of the earth at midnight while it's raining. I...

Quick answer is I don't really know. This is a clean sheet of paper to design. I envision an open book on a stand... I envision a grandchild or in time, great grandchild with chocolate melted on hands, curiously looking at that book....and creating a mess. The first (and to be hones, only)...

Piece of paper in there with 1888 written on it by Dad. Implication is he spoke to someone or otherwise ascertained or guessed that was year it was made, if so, it's 137 years old.

Update and then wood question.... Bible is in my hands. She didn't see eye to eye. Several stories to indicate this bible would go to me on the passing of Dad. At funeral, I asked if she was ok if I went to get it. (quote) Richard, I PROMISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS that you'll get the bible but (and...

Not a very fair comment to follow.... do you have a backhoe on it? Could you dig up around the roots with the loader? If it looks reasonably safe, I've taken to digging up the rootball on the side I'm on as I'm wanting tree to fall away from me. Cut a "V" and the top of the "V" is untouched...

20 years ago I rented a L35 GST. Note, we are in some of the East Tennessee hills. Father in law always told me/us that the hill behind the house was "the" tallest hill in the county. If you go up and look around, it might or might not be, but it's certainly ONE of the highest. I was on this...

Interesting experiences. 20+ years ago, I knew we needed a tractor. I nagged at the wife about things she finally told me to shut up, call her brother and buy something (he was buying/selling heavy equipment) Came home with the JCB 1550. Digs a two foot flat bottom at 15 1/2' I don't need...

That hadn't remotely crossed my mind! Very interesting. If I recall, I think there are three indentions, essentially 1/3 around the unit. Oh, this is interesting. Fit them at correct orientation, note indentions, mark them. Make a "V" in the board to insert like you say, a key from the...

Got this hydraulic mower. Rebuilt some of the motors on it that drive the blades. Want to monitor the pressure in each blade system. I have one 5,000 PSI for the center motor and I have two 3,500 PSI gauges that deal with the right & left wings which are on the same circuit. (fluid goes from...
