I bought my first implement today...a b
Hopped on the B1700 to mow today. Gave me a couple fits getting started but after making sure the clutch was in, transmission in neutral and my butt in the seat it started up. Got done and parked it in the garage and went in to my next activity, cleaning the chicken brooder. Walking to empty the waste I looked down and saw this in the grass. Interesting. It isn’t from the seat or the clutch. The only one it can be is the transmission interlock and yes it won’t start now. Guess I have an after dinner activity now.
You're so lucky you found it! Saved you a lot of time and worry.

Yes. With the rate the grass is growing and three acres of it not to mention trails, extremely lucky. Raining again this morning. I think I can hear the grass growing.

Leaky rear axle on a F mower at work. Hmmm, that seal is upside down... maybe why it’s leaking.

No idea who has been into this before me, this is the 3rd seal on the 2nd mower I’ve found installed wrong.

Mowed the weeds and I still had some energy to grease the FEL and mower. It is so dry that I managed to mow for the second time the "duck pond" low spot. Areas around us have gotten up to 10 inches of rain in one day which probably means that water level of the river (lagoon) surrounding us will be so high by the time we get rain that we will have street flooding since the water will have nowhere to go.

Yesterday I drove the MX6000 about 3 miles to the local dealer to have the rear wheels switched around to the second widest setting. The change only increases the overall width by about 2" but it makes a difference even if only a slight difference. I wasn't going to mess with 600lb of wheel weights and tires filled with 1,000 lb of ballast. I drove the MX back home this morning.

I ordered two sets of wheel weights for the M6060 (640lb total) and will have the dealership install them since it's not an easy job. I'm also going to have the dealership switch the wheels from the widest setting to the second widest.

There's an MX5400 at the dealer (shown on the left) with an interesting story behind it and the wheels are set up as mine were at the second to narrowest setting. Here's a photo to show the change.

The story on the MX5400 shown on the left is that some wealthy guy ordered it and had it delivered only to discover that his wife hated it. It turns out that she would be the primary user. The husband had the dealership pick the tractor up and take it back and it's been on the lot for months with no instruction to sell it, trade it or anything. So there it sits, paid for, and waiting quietly in a corner of the lot.

look at all the rocks if a stump grinder was doing that job :(

There were rocks embedded in the roots.....making it tough on the chainsaw work!

We got all three out and pushed the rock (and a little dirt) back in the hole today.
Tomorrow....we pick up all the rocks on and then order up 10 yards of screened fill! signal-2022-05-25-15-45-37-757[1].jpg signal-2022-05-25-11-10-20-756[1].jpg signal-2022-05-25-18-30-35-021[1].jpg

Nice! Who did you go to for that guard?
Dawson Harris from Tate Metal Products he's on the MX series Facebook group and does custom grill work this is the second one he did for me I had him make one for my MX5800 a few years ago. He does really nice work.

Added the 4 spirea to the new planting bed. That should keep the boss happy there and I can move on to other areas. I started digging the holes with a shovel as they don't have to be very large. Not so fast :(
There were so many roots in the 3 on the left I put on the stump bucket to finish.

I knew that it was something different than what I normally see here in the non-glaciated South. We have our Cedar, but a different variety. ;)

I'm not sure what variety they are but they're common in eastern Canada.

Cut up the white pine I took down the other day. Was close to the house and dying. New Stihl 661 is a beast! New L4701 and grapple worked great too. Big improvement from B2301. Believe it or not from the photo, I just fit the log through that gate. Feel free to rate my stump! (Game of Logging reference.)

Face cut and then bore it back to the trigger?
