This is my lawn a couple years ago to give you some idea what it looks like in full bloom
Cut out the bushes, and moved all the landscaping bricks out of the way.

Getting ready to start bulldozing with the 1811. Worked really well. I found the best going was to let the blade rise on its own from the load then back up and scrape the remainder flat.

Finished product. It looks rough right now, but when Im done with it and the yard is in full bloom its going to look pretty smart. Plus its going to be a lot easier to mow around. Also the green stain on the bricks looks much worse in the photo then it does in person. Going to acid wash the bricks to get them clean.

Since it's raining again :angry:. I have been wanting to repaint the grill mesh and touch up the IH emblem on the 1282 since I put the bumper. They looked dull compared to te shiny bumper. So I got that done today. Wish I could have been out doing some fun stuff like the rest of you guys, everybody's picture's look great, nice job everyone. The last picture of the 1282 is from before I painted them. :biggrin2: I also went through a column I had for the "O", did the bearing upgrade at the top and preped and primed it for paint.
