new house for mikemike

As expected, drilling the mower blades SUCKED.

my drill press is high speed wood shit and that material case hardened if it got hot at all.

Did three of six. welded on the deck a bit. Mounting tube cracked (repeat or previous repair) and under deck blade guide bent and cracked.

Mowed my front yard in drizzle at 10pm:
Country living achievement unlocked.

Cut looks amazing in the dark. 3x the cutting length, twice the lift. Did have to grind 2 blade ends that would kiss (1/16” longer than spec)

Looks awesome.  Thats razor tight tolerances if 1/16" longer than spec is causing that.    I was impressed how they improved my mowing performance when I did mine.

Excellent!!!

How does the lawn look like with sun out this morning?

Did it roll coal or more easier now?

That is SOP for one of my neighbors

I'm sure it was loading as it should and blowing some smoke in the hard parts. didn't actually _bog_ anywhere running full speed, and it absolutely would have before if not nearly stalled.

there's some very visible grass where it was tallest but it's less clumped and more spread. it was WET to the point I was having traction issues from clumping on the drive tires, and I probably cut 9" grass to 4.5" in that area.

Cheaper than turboing. Not sure if easier due to difficulty of drilling the blades 😂

didnt someone say put blades on this thing day one 

[mr.mindless]

someone said sharpen, not upgrade. what I pulled off weren't murdered, but Look at the length of cutting blade between these and stock. between that and the lift... yup.

[M]

Your old blades looked like they were nearly new.

[mr.mindless]

the comparison photo was with a literally new spare blade. I got 2 complete sets of used with spindle fittings (one mounted one spare) plus one spare naked blade.

This racking was an adventure. Highly customized by previous owners haha

Shelves all welded together with legs bolted.

Only had to cut a couple bolts. Chad and seller helped tear down. Thanks for the lead

Should be easy reassembly with forklift, the legs are real light. Hopefully the size and shape work out somewhere good.

Will trim off some hack tot dumbness from the bottoms. Legs are about 10’
Two 8’ bays with 3 shelves each I think.

[M4wdFab]

cool, glad it wasn't too bad.  get any grates/decking?

[mr.mindless]

Welded spreaders on all shelves, and 1/2” particle board for about half of it.

[mr.mindless]

$1200. Some assembly required. BIG bitch. Also big dumb load.
Free iron block 5.3/4l60/tcase too. No pcm or harness. And 350ish gallons of oil in 2 totes. And a tire hookup and oil heat knowledge.

(6) 8r19.5 available asking $300. 10 year old Goodyear’s. I may grab for trailer at reduced price.

I can maybe believe to pulled the trigger on this. I need an engine stand.

[Wingman]

that's a snow moving machine
