not so profitable a day with the 1811
 

It's not a good pic but this is the back quarter glass on my 99 suburban.:bigeyes: mowing a new yard, with my cub 1811, deck guard down, rock or something comes out hits privacy fence a few feet away and I don't see where it goes after that except I hear a loud pop.

I finish mowing and load mower on trailer and drive to 2 other jobs to check on trimming guy, and finally to gas station. as I take off gas cap I rest my hand on the glass and it literally falls out under my hand. I start looking and can see where the rock just got the bottom edge of the glass. looks like a $300 loss day.:bash2:

Crazy thing is it was parked a good 100 feet away.

Those 1811's are one strong tractor!!:beerchug:

I hear ya! Kathys car cought a rock from about 40 ft away from the deck of the 106 some years ago. But there is a good side to this. When my kids aee how these old decks chew up toys, they are now quick to pick them up! Just wait till you run over a baseball, that fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well it didnt turn out as bad as it could have. used glass $62.50, 60 to get it put in. whew.
went back and looked where i was parked and found a 1 inch long 1/2 inch bolt with a big cut in it laying on the ground.:bigeyes: think that is what mower shot out, but its not from the mower.

With your luck that day, the bolt is probably from the transmission!! :bigeyes:

Lets hope not!! :bigthink:

:biggrin2: Dog chains are cool also . Unbelievable how fast you can neatly wind these up around your spindles !! :biggrin2:

On another note , my neighbor recently had her mailbox sheered off at ground level due to an errant turn by someone on an Exmark . Being Im a nice guy , I'll help that Exmark driver dig a new hole .....................blasphemy . :angry::biggrin2:

went back today to that yard and the renter was home, he is working on his truck parked in the grass right where I hit the bolt and starts telling me about working on it :BlahBlah:and how he was glad to get grass cut so he would not lose anymore BOLTS. :bash:

I've never checked on my cubs, but the exmark manual states that the blade tip speed is 18,290rpm.... that's getting up there. With the chute up it'll throw clippings a good 20 feet.

Don't you have a Exmark now.:bigthink:

How do you say insurance claim?
