Today I was coming home the long way from picking up my mower deck blades from the dealer and saw a yard had to have been grown a foot tall, a guy was hacking it with a little push mower, so I went and grabbed the 1811 w/38" and the sweeper cart...the 38" kept clogging as soon as I tried to put any speed on so I took it home and fired up the 108 w/42"...got about 5 yards of mulch clippings. In the morning I'll go back and finish.
While this was going on, this semi-disabled lady's landlord was there doing some work...turns out he owns a couple dozen properties in this town, they all need mowing and the village is on him about them all...looks like I may be mowing them all [for a fee natch]...I better get that K301 out of the 108 over to the machine shop. The little smoking, clanking, non-original whatever-it-is currently in the 108 ain't gonna cut it [pun intended]. Yeah, I know, a 108 should have a K241, not a K301, but the bore mic don't lie...3 3/8"...I bought the 108 as "non-original motor, have the original but it needs rebuilt..."
Reminder to self: time to sharpen the blades on the 48" also...
Then after all this I went to my mailbox and found my NOS hitch rock shaft...it's so NOS it isn't even cross drilled for the cotter key through the lift pin spigot [I do hope my terminology is adequate]...
A good day.
