Well spent a couple of hours getting my boom arm mower hooked up and greased;
As she sits waiting
Getting ready to grease the pto shaft, have to do before it's connected,
so it doesn't get greased as often as it should
Toplink hooked, lift arms hooked and latched
notice the amount of room between the tire and the mower
All hooked up, the lack of clearance between the tires and the mower is why I have to grease the pto shaft before hooking up the 3 point
Looking in over the top (as I'm posting this pic I see one of my sway bar pins isn't latched down,
better fix that before I lose that pin. It's an expensive pin ($16) as I recall
Hooked up and boomed out a bit to grease it, lots of grease fitings I can get most of them in this position,
three fittings I'll have to extend it all the way out and rotate the head up 90*, a tube of grease and she's done.
All ready to go only a short couple of hours on a nice warm morning 86 degrees actual with a real feel of 99 per my phones weather app.
Soaked in sweat time to go in the house clean up a bit and drink a few glasses of water.
Will wait to start mowing till tomorrow.
The cables that run back to operate all the controls for the mower.






or the next day.
