Well after the wife talked with the city today they will stop by and take a look. She also told the officer that over half our land is undeveloped industrial and doesn't need to be mowed and the officer that's what she thought and we are right on that aspect

One reason I am happy to live in the sticks. I keep my yard mowed short, but if something does go wrong and I can't now for a while, nobody can or will complain. Still, four and a dlf acres here around my house, four and a half around my oldest sons house while he's in school, and six and three quarter acres around the old rental and that's just the finish mowing, I have wightwen acres of alphapha and eleven of soy bean. Well this year its all alphalpha cuz I wasn't able to fix the planters. But still, I hate mowing! My MC-54-250-B was dropped and broke most of her fairings as well as her windshield, now she's in pieces getting prepped for paint on my free time, which seems to be dwindling and is no longer free.

Well we are home from the inlaws. The garbage pail party At the very bottom is about 8 dozen ears of corn with abut 15 lbs of spuds and carrots 10 lbs of onions 8 heads of cabbage topped with 2 hams cook over fire for about 5 hours add hot dogs brats and sausages cook for another half hour and enjoy Yesterday I helped the father in law change the hitch out on his f250 the old owners never took the draw bar out and it was rusted in tight I did feel a little bad a few weeks ago he called because he was having g issues with his lawn tractor not starting had him check the basics and the he said it wasn't turning over. I wasn't able to fo up and look at it so he bought a new tractor. Well he said it had a kohler engine so I asked if it had the right fuel pump if I could take the fuel pump assuming the engine was seized up. Well it didn't have the right fuel pump and the engine wasn't seized up after about an hour I started searching and found exhaust valve issues can be common on that particular engine. Well I pulled the valve cover off and found the exhaust rocker had came very loose and wasn't moving through valve Well I did a half ass valve adjustment as I didn't have any feeler gauges with or the specs and after charging the battery it fired right up. I did also find a small Crack in the upper part of the block just under the fly wheel so I will need to drill a small hole to stop the Crack and get the jb weld out and it should be good as new

Well I was hoping I wouldn't have to take the fly wheel off but I just may have to. The 4 screws that came loose 9n the father in law were loose againg after 2 hours of use. One is broken but I think I can get it out without taking the top plate off but 2 are under the fly wheel and I don't know if I can get them out far enough for lock tite to work

Well the lawn tractor from the father in law need up not working out the block cracked in a diffrent spot
The only up side was I salvaged a couple of bits off of it to fix a cub cadet 2186 that I had one at an auction. It needed a new pto clutch had a bent pulley and every time you tried to move it stalled
I allready had the pto clutch but hadn't been able to get past the not getting it to move. So I pulled the saftey switches from the husky (tractor supply branded cub cadet) engaged the hydro static drive and did get the pump tp free up

Well I won so tomorrow I'll have to pay for it drag it across the street and get it in the garage to work on it. It turns over but won't start. If there is any gas left it it the tank smells old and stale so I'm sure it's drain what's left for fuel clean the carb change the fuel filter and replace the plugs. Plus I got 2 nice metal gas cans for a song I know I'll keep one I can sell the other for more that what I paid for the pair View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentSpeed holes and all this thing seems to run pretty darn good. 20hp v twin I put tubes in the front tires today. Now I have to look at the snow plow mount that I have for the smaller tractor split it apart as its about a half in too narrow
