    1025R Rear Bagger / Blower Compatibility

    Thanks for the link. Think I got to that point before but wasn't sure how to sort to find old/new decks. Will give it a try again and see if I can figure it out.

    1025R Rear Bagger / Blower Compatibility

    Hello all, Have a blower/bagger for a 1025R and trying to sell. Blower is model 700PF and tagged with DOM (date of manufacture) 061119. Deck it was mounted on has DOM 051317. Potential buyer has a deck with DOM 042820. We've both contacted our local dealers and not certain about the info...

    Scag vs Bad Boy

    Back problems here as well, and before the Ferris cutting grass was painful. Won't go so far to say cutting grass is now 'fun' but it's definitely bearable, and don't dread it like I used to.

    Scag vs Bad Boy

    Not sure about other than Ferris, but they are owned by B&S. Only concern I had when looking at the Ferris was the Kaw motor wasn't available without a very extended lead time, and thought maybe it was a 'fabricated' lead time issue, maybe to sell more B&S engines. Dealer was pretty firm the...

    Scag vs Bad Boy

    Can't comment on the Scag or Bad Boy from experience but they both have pretty good reputations. If not in a rush demo both and see what you think. For the price points you're looking at, a Ferris might also be worth a look. I just purchased a Ferris this spring and the suspension is great...

    Prepping Car for Cold Weather (Northern Ontario) - Comments/Suggestions

    Will probably change the wipers too, but haven't found any I really liked yet. Still have about a week to figure that out, and that will be it. And yes, did do the car-kit but didn't take any pics of the bag, candles or matches :) We have had plenty of rain in OH past few days too. Just took...

    Prepping Car for Cold Weather (Northern Ontario) - Comments/Suggestions

    Final thanks to all for the tips, and a couple of photos, as I know they are very important :D Car is headed up north after the holidays. What the heater looks like from the front. Hard to get an under hood view. Have given instructions to use heater starting at around 0 F/ -18 C, for about...

    Prepping Car for Cold Weather (Northern Ontario) - Comments/Suggestions

    For the block heater type I looked at a few before calling Honda, just to see about cost. Decided to go with the Honda OEM, about $160 installed - not cheap but it's a nice setup, goes in the engine block coolant drain hole. Looked up specs on wattage and couldn't really find anything, and...

    Prepping Car for Cold Weather (Northern Ontario) - Comments/Suggestions

    Need to prep a car going from Ohio to Ontario Canada - actual location is near North Bay. From weather.gc.ca the historical info I'm seeing is limited, but there is a fair amount of snow/cold temps. It looks like -30C (-22F) is pretty common in coldest months, but again info I'm seeing is only...

    Rotary Cutter  TSC brand Rotary Cutter?

    Been watching CL for a 5' cutter. Local to me ad today for a TSC brand. Anyone know anything about these as in who manufactures, etc? Don't need for heavy duty, tractor is a JD 4300, but don't want to blow $ on a POS either. Thanks

    JD 4300 Mid Mount Mower Availability

    Just picked up a '99 4300 with FEL. No deck but figured I would have the option this way to consider RFM/MMM. Found a good deal on a Woods PRD7200 for around 3k. JD dealer is telling me the MMM for the 4300 is no longer available. Can get for the 4500/4600 but that's it. He also advised me...

    JD 855 / 955 Mowing Comfort vs Zero Turn

    Looking at JD 855 or 955 for a utility tractor, and cutting grass. Grass cutting will be 3 acres, plus pinch hitting on an additional 3-5 at my Dad's place. Currently using a 50" zero turn that's beating me up pretty good. The zero turn is a little undersized, but I've looked at some larger...

    Selling on CL / Prepaid Cell Phones

    Need to unload a few things and plan to try CL. Plan to take phone calls only (no text or email) and set up a separate gmail acct so my regular doesn't fill up with spam. New to CL so any pointers appreciated. Plan on using a prepaid cell to take the calls. Might be overkill to maintain...

    Chrome Truck Grilles

    To me some of the newer trucks (Fords especially) have gone a little overboard with the chrome in front. I've also had people tell me they don't like all that reflection in their rear view on a sunny day either. Anywho, saw this guys mod today and kind of like it... Greg

    SAE Tow Ratings

    Looking forward to progression of the SAE tow implementation. First link is a more current general article, second is older, but gives more details on the rating system. I like the idea of having to rate with a fixed grade and minimum temperature of 100 degrees with the A/C on high. Had also...
