Here is another picture of the Ol' tractor ready to work. Dave

Got to try the mower out today after I got it back together earlier today and it works great so hopefully I can get some use out of it this summer. Dave

The mower work good I put it in 1 and it mowed nice and smooth thanks for the help Dave

Thanks I really appreciate the help Dave

Hey guys I have a problem I put the pto in neutral because I have been working on the finish mower and now I can't remember which speed is which it has 3 I figure the 1 would be 540 but not sure. Anyone know the pattern and speeds I thought I had it some where in a post but haven't found it. I...

This one was bad too not quite as much plastic in the bearing but still some and the grease was all still full of dirt and looked like mud. What a mess that definitely motivates me to take care of my equipment better than the previous owner of this thing did. Dave

Got the other two spindles bearings pressed out and one set of bearing races installed and have to put the rest of them in and then press everything back together. Here are some pictures so far. Dave

I have some good soil it is free of rock and fairly easy to work but I would like to have a rototiller for it for sure. Dave

Got back to work on the mower the last two weeks trying to get ready for mowing season. I was able to get the two outer browning bushings and pulleys removed the center I had already done last fall. Hopefully this weekend I can get my old bearings pressed off and the new ones installed and the...

I got in the other bearings and seals for the mower the last few days so hopefully I can get started on it and have it ready for spring. Dave these should fit most JD Friontier GM1060R and the 72 inch and maybe others also the woods PRD6000, PRD7200 not sure about the PRD8400 the seal number...

LOL yeah

Russell, I pulled the knob off and found a threaded collar fitting that tightens against the dash metal just like you described. So a few turns with some pliers and it was good as new. Thanks for the reply Dave

Thanks for the info yes the knob has two sections that protrude out to turn it by. I do recall the set screw in the side of the knob I will remove that and see what I can figure out. Thanks Dave

Thanks I am glad someone likes reading about it thought I might be boring everyone to death. I like reading others post and stories as soon as I get some parts I will be back to work on the mower for it. Dave

Thanks Matt I am really liking the tractor so far it is a tough little guy. And the press is the best tool I have invested in just used it to press out and in some Polaris wheel bearings worked great. Dave
