I was a couple of years ago thathe ridin' mowah broke...Stattah shit the bed.No big deal really. We just mowed with the push mower. Wife didn't mind (see here) and I didn't mind. We broke up the cutting into 3-one hour segments and got it done. Plus it was good extra exercise and we could play with the dogs at the same time.
But this year, with the LittleOne to keep track of, and all this rain, time is at a premium and keeping the lawn from looking like a hay field has been a challenge. That when I decided to revisit my riding lawn mower/tractor.
I pulled it out from the shed. Pulled off all the body panels. Cleaned out all the mouse nests, hosed off the shit and piss that came with the dirty little rodents and took a look at it. I changed the oil, and looked it over and then decided to take it up to the guy. I wont say it was beyond my ability to fix it, but it would be worth the 150bucks to fix. So the guy replaced the starter and a fuel line that had split from age.
We got it back home and now I can cut the grass...the whole lawn, in about 40 minutes compared to 3 hours. And I can drink a beer while I do it. Life is good.
oh yeah, the sweet custom paint job?...i did that meself with an air brush gun.
How can it take 3 hours to push mow your lawn?

ReplyDeleteOh... my first tractor! So good to see it in operation again. I wish I could find the pictures that I had taken when you came down to Mass to pick it up with your little Tacoma. You got that damn thing up and into the bed of your truck by yourself. You absolutely impressed me with your brute strength. One the reasons I liked that tractor so much was for the neat little bottle holder so that you can drink and drive around your lawn. Wooo Hooo!
