Only one thing better, My wife taking over most of the mowing if we bought a zero turn. So we did and I haven't spent any time on it and have zero skills moving it around to service but she loves it! I still use an old rider for the rough areas and trails in the woods. Bill

Assuming the plug is steel, weld a nut to it. Then using some all thread into that to come up thru a device to straddle the plug area and while applying some pull turn the counter clockwise with a box end wrench you put over the rod first. The saddle could be a pitman or tie rod puller that you...

Mine has never been back in since delivery. I have a lot of slopes here and like to be able to reach back and turn it to the uphill side for ballast when I travel across them. Also when putting it in the garage I can swing it to get in further. I keep it in the holder so if needed for like...

Maybe some stock on both sides welded to your angle that has holes lining up with the weight hole. Just a thought seeing it assembled so far. Bill

I can start my gear drive L2501 standing next to it. The range selector has to be in neutral and PTO off, gear shift in gear, clutch position or seat make no difference. Bill

I see you have the supervisor on site that day too!

The line cutting reminds me about 22 years ago i needed an exhaust on my 93 ford ranger, i had done the napa one and it lasted only year or so. So i ordered cat back from ford. I went to pick it and found it was all one piece. they told me it needed to be installed a lift to get it over the...

Sorry, Guilty as charged,

When I bought the L2501 3 years ago i declined the 0% offer was then eligible for a $1400 cash discount. My way of thinking is they show their hand doing that, there is no 0% in reality. I got it with the gear drive as i have been using my 8n for 25 years and have done top end and split it for...

I bought the summit kit for my L2501 with a BH77. The ordering said to specify if you had a BH which I did, and they would send the right hose. I had the same problem and contacted them explaining. They sent me the right hose no charge. This was 2 years ago, surprised to hear it is still the...

Steel pack rat! I can relate to that, it has to be really scrap- junk for me to part with it. But I do need to take a load to the scrap yard sometime, usually in the spring I do some clean up so coming up! Bill

Would you be able to double nut the studs to remove them too so the brackets didn't need to drop down? just a thought, bill

When I first seen your work picture I thought it was some of Dirty Deeds work. Then reading it was you,I could relate and understand. Probably when it was dug out and installed the previous owner was just lucky and missed the water line. Bill

I used that cereal cracker box trick long ago too. Made a couple water pump gaskets for my old rambler in the 70's. Guess we are from that same era and mind set of this will get it going. I broke the round ball off the end of the clutch cable in my 69 jeep commando back in 78 on a trip in...

I have bought 4 of their cylinders of various from their ebay link. reasonably priced and all held up well, no leaks. When I made my BH77 thumb hydraulic one of theirs was a good fit with the right size pin holes and clocked with the fittings on the side. I did some modification to the base...

I too did in my work in the trades and volunteer fire department service. But that goat was wearing camo! Bill

Thanks for the link to your video, you explained it well so I have another small useful project. Should really be a help on things like differentials on the truck and car. Never easy on those. Thanks again, Bill No but I went back and did! Always aware of your surroundings is a good thing! Bill

I like that idea for the gear lube. I have the same sprayer container on a shelf used once several years ago. What are you using for a valve on it? Bill

Amen brother RWS! I can't stand a BSer and I have a couple for sibblings. They are the ones that call me when they have a problem at home or a vehicle. The 3 of them keep spotless workshops and all own tools but no talent. I have a large garage with a lift but a bit of clutter inside and out but...
