Walnut and oak are the least desirable shavings to compost and use on the garden. The juglone from the walnut and tannic acid from oak poison the soil and raise the acidity. Shavings could be spread in areas to control weed growth, (not around desirable plants) so there are some good uses for them. Maybe around phone poles or fence posts or under fence sections.
Very interesting and informative, thank you for your insight.
It led me to this site for more info:

But the interesting this is that I have a neighbor a few hundred yards down our mutual back road that has a couple walnut trees along his perimeter.
I walk my dog down this road almost daily. In the fall the road is littered with walnuts, and also his yard. Although not very well cared for, nothing in his yard seems to be struggling to survive, albeit he has nohing to worry about (i.e. garden.)
My dog takes time to sniff EVERYTHING. Should I worry about toxn's to my dog?

Excellent and extensive information! That Dr. Sellmer really knows his stuff...

Not sure about walking your diggedy dog around the walnut trees. Probably better to check with your vet on that. One thing that comes to mind, is that when your doggy does his doo doo, don't let him dig up any walnut roots trying to bury it!

Unhappy Cub Cadet 3200 oil leak

Been working on solving an oil leak issue with this Kohler CH730s engine. New head gaskets and now it looks like there may be a leak on the #2 cylinder dripping on the tin inside and running down behind the fly wheel. Crank seal wasn't leaking but changing it anyways. Has anyone had any experiences with block cracks in this engine?

Used the 2264 to tow the Wagon Of Death (Round up sprayer) around to get after the weeds then got the 1641 out with the Haban sickle bar on it and mowed around my pond and some banks.

Finally got around to adding starter relays to my 1641 twins. It was pretty easy. All wiring was done next to the solenoid with the relay mounted to the firewall. I bought 5 JD relays for cheap on epay...something like $10.65 with tax and free shipping from skyline-autoparts. Each relay came with a socket with wires for easy connection. The small picture of the starter shows a starter relay that was installed last year on the 1864 mower.

Also installed a bumper I purchased from ihccw.com on Dad's 1641 and added a spring to better hold side panels in place.

The last picture shows the 3 relays that were left over after the others were installed.

All in all, a fun day!

Got the 1864 mower and the Cub leaf sucker ready to mow for the first time this spring. Put a new hose on the vacuum to replace the 6 year old hose that came with it.

The lawn turned out great! The only thing I hate is emptying the vacuum canister of all the grass and leaves I sucked up!!

Here are a few photos showing the rig I have been mowing with for the past three years. Still in great shape, due to the TLC that I give it! Always a pleasure to use!

Thanks Oak...I do my best to keep them in good order after spending a lot of (fun) time restoring each of them. They are well made and built to last!

BTW, how do like my "air ride" seat cushion on the mower? I can't mow without it any more...total comfort for the price of an old inner tube!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
