Por15 in my rusty tank. Where we live with 50” of rain a year minimum you are always battling rust although it is not related, just condensation.

Unknown. I feel age should also be part of the equation. 10 years on rubber parts sounds fair to me

Nope. 9k for a broken arm. No insurance. 19k for a 425. Two arms for the price of a tractor.

Did the same thing. Grounds on top of grounds. And oddly my guage has a ground short that just showed up.

My belt broke. Surprisingly easy repair. The pushrods are designed to bend but people freak out at the thought. Valves are super tough. If all you have is a broken belt it’s an easy fix.

We use bucket traps. The kind where the lid tips and they fall in. Instead of water it’s filled with oil. Works quite well.

My kingdom for a machine that clean.

What Moss says. Jeez. $400? Totally worth buying a stick welder. Even if you have send cut send make the parts it would be way cheaper.

A few things. Order a bunch of adapter plates. Order anything else right now as well. Shipping costs are too high to not bundle as much as you can.

That was it. The rollers. But you don’t have anything in the front. I saw a sister version with casters on the front.

Other than my mower my laundry list of implements are third party. So Mower from pt Post hole digger - self made Stump grinder -self made Grapple -partially self made Tow bar -self made Pickle forks Large bucket Back hoe -all from Lackender Box blade - forgot manufacturer York rake. John Deere...

So the building is my own personal design. But the kit manufacturer could have selected better bends to alleviate water intrusion. Yeah. I now regret no having the overhang but a friend has a similar design and no leaking around the windows. Of course half the story is we budgeted pre pandemic...
