Dumb mower

[mr.mindless]

worn motor not unlikely.

I'm familiar with that concept mark. but I noticed while avoiding making big ruts today that it cut way cleaner in reverse. so I thought I'd try going against that logic instead of going stronger to front down when one side was already 1/4" lower in front, and it improved significantly. so...

needs more fuel plate

i have found during this rainy season, im more happy to mow ever 6 days instead of every 7, because i like to go full speed  instead of 80% speed haha


Thats an impressive amount of uniform silage for rear discharge!   how long was it since last mow? lol

[mr.mindless]

I probably cut off 60% of length.
had probably been 2 weeks. day job issues.

[M4wdFab]

lol @ 2 weeks

Flat on one side
(It is tubed)

[mr.mindless]

Tire leaks down in a couple hours.

Didn’t fix it yet. Did mow until dark and then put a couple lights on it, then fill the tire and mow a bit more.

i have now patched and tubed both my zero turn drives- they have been holding up so far this year. 


im really tempted to just spend the money on the tweels, but havent yet.

Pulled the tire, felt nothing inside. Soaped the tube and saw nothing. Reassembled and finished mowing. Now already flat in the garage an hour later.

Guess I’ll either squirt some Slime in next time i fill it, or just swap the tube. Must be something small enough to only open up at operating pressure but be sealed at naked tube inflated to non sketchy stretch size.

Check the valve stem. I have had ones got me good when the valve core or stem leaks

[mr.mindless]

Stem and core were checked twice before first tear down. Still good now.

Tube at 2x static size exposed a pin hole. Unknown source. Surprised it didn’t leak when soaped at inflation but even at scary balloon size it’s like 4psi, so just a learning experience/ reminder I guess. 95% of my tube knowledge is on bike tires.

I appear to only have radial patches. Will order spare tube and a couple tube patches.

[mr.mindless]

Stopped leaking once it shrunk down. Slimed it and mowed for an hour or 90. Hopefully it takes.

Patch and spare tubes late next week.

Nice! I added lights on my zeroturn earlier in the year and love it. 

[mr.mindless]
