Thanks Mike.

Thanks, Sam, Mike and Allen.:beerchug:

Todd

In keeping with your comments, yesterday I used my 2182 with the 60" Haban grass length reduction device. It worked very well at reducing the length of the grass by approximately 1/2. :biggrin2:

Sam,
Glad to hear you've got the length of your grass reduced:biggrin2:
I literally butchered mine today, looks more like a hay field than lawn. Amassing what a weeks worth of rain will do, to get grass to grow.:bigthink:

Todd, sounds like you need a rake and baler to go on that NFNF:biggrin2:

Mowed lawn and put the weights on for looks

Looks good. I love those front AG tires.

Thanks, I want to swap them for some tri ribs though.

122 looks like it did a fine job:beerchug: I think you'll want to cut those bolts down holding the weights....
When you get one in the shin you'll wish you did.:bigthink:

Today I was coming home the long way from picking up my mower deck blades from the dealer and saw a yard had to have been grown a foot tall, a guy was hacking it with a little push mower, so I went and grabbed the 1811 w/38" and the sweeper cart...the 38" kept clogging as soon as I tried to put any speed on so I took it home and fired up the 108 w/42"...got about 5 yards of mulch clippings. In the morning I'll go back and finish.
While this was going on, this semi-disabled lady's landlord was there doing some work...turns out he owns a couple dozen properties in this town, they all need mowing and the village is on him about them all...looks like I may be mowing them all [for a fee natch]...I better get that K301 out of the 108 over to the machine shop. The little smoking, clanking, non-original whatever-it-is currently in the 108 ain't gonna cut it [pun intended]. Yeah, I know, a 108 should have a K241, not a K301, but the bore mic don't lie...3 3/8"...I bought the 108 as "non-original motor, have the original but it needs rebuilt..."
Reminder to self: time to sharpen the blades on the 48" also...
Then after all this I went to my mailbox and found my NOS hitch rock shaft...it's so NOS it isn't even cross drilled for the cotter key through the lift pin spigot [I do hope my terminology is adequate]...
A good day.

Helping out...
 

Today I used my 1000 to mow my next door lady's yard along with a couple other neighbors. Her husband is in the sand over the waters serving our proud country and someone stole their lawn mower. After we were finished the neighbors gathered around my pride and joy complementing how smooth she ran and how well she took on the tall grass!!!

Good job!

NIK,

Repairs
 

Replaced starter relay, battery, air filter, gas filter and ignition switch. It purrs like a cub.

Today I took inventory of just how little I actually know about Cub Cadets...cursed the rain...made plans to go to the Rock River Thresheree in Edgerton WI tomorrow...tried to figure out whether the 3-point I bought for my 1811 can be made to work with my 108 :confused: . Pacified SWMBO [i.e. cleaned up the oil spill from disassembling the K301 that came with my 108]. Decided maybe I should offer that 3-point [388? 389?] for the 1811 up for sale since I just can't see plowing with a hydro [and I have the parts for the OEM hitch for the 108].

Then tried to figure out why the PTO belt in the 108 has so much offset in it [the idler pulleys on the tensioner sit a couple inches forward of the PTO pulley and the belt kinks where it runs on and off the PTO pulley]...but that probably has to do with the 'replacement' [8hp? 6hp? dunno] engine in the 108 and/or the belt is stretched way beyond it's useful service life...will worry about that after I get the K301 installed.

Welded up the exhaust on my new 1811! I had heard a rattle and an exhaust leak when I went to look at it before I bought it. Took a chance and bought it anyway and found the issue right away when I got it home. The end cap on the muffler was loose and rattling. I got it tac welded all the way around and now it purrs like a kitten!!

Cut the lawn with the 1650
 

Got the lawn cut today with the 1650, plenty long:beerchug:

New boots look good, Todd! :beerchug:

Looks good Todd. You guys got alot more rain than us in Iowa. My grass went from dead to green in about two days. Now I'm almost having to mow twice a week. :bash2: I can imagine how fast your grass is growing. Thanks for sharing the pics. :beerchug:

Good job, Todd.

Thanks guys. Yah, we went from brown grass to green and growing like crazy almost over night after it rained. Now it's raining a couple times a week:bash2: one extreme to the next.
It's ok, it'll be dropping in temperature soon enough and snowing, so no complaints on mowing lawn:beerchug:

My kids helped today clean up some stuff around the yard. We'd load stuff onto the 16' trailer and move it to where it had to go. Also got my cultivator, plow, blade, and yard cart into the garage finally. I think they like helping because I let them do all the driving.

My twins are 7 and my little guy (pictured in the middle) is 5. They love it outside and want to be out there on the hottest day of summer or the coldest day of winter, it does't bother them. I'm so glad they'd rather be outside with me than inside playing games.

Great to see the young one's involved, and interested in the outdoor activities. Cubs rock:beerchug:

Thanks, and yeah they like to be outside no matter what they are doing. They aren't afraid of work either, last week they raked and loaded several carts of cut grass just to go dump them.

Used the super and hauled Jenn's Fall decorations. Then Jenn took the super for a spin.

Ah, a little evening work, then some play.:beerchug:
Good for you Allen and Jenn:beer2:

Appreciate it, Todd!

Nice pics Allen. Are you keeping the Super now or still have it for sale?

I got the 129 out today to instill some fear into the green ones. No, not the Deeres, the grass. It's only the second time I've mowed with the 129 but I'm really enjoying mowing with the hydro. My yard has a lot of forward to reverse and involves lots of shifting with the 100. The 48" deck does cut down on the seat time a little.

Thanks Adam.

Nice pics Allen, love the headlight shot. So, what exactly are call decorations? Enquiring minds want to know.

Looking good Allen and Jenn!:beerchug:

Thanks guys!

Your mean Jenn's Fall decorations. She likes to decorate the house for Fall time. She has the plastic pumpkins, and things like that ...lol.

Ran across this picture just now. Youngest child moving a box of about 70 uninflated soccer balls. Of course the cub makes a handy machine to have around.

Installed some new Terra Grips I found on Amazon. Tried them out by moving some gravel with the bucket. Not too bad at all. We don't typically get much snow here, but maybe this year they'll earn their keep.

Used the 782 and super and lawn swept the yard. Got to run them both...lol.

Good lookin' grippers, should ride good:beerchug:
I'd gladly send you our snow if I could, and leave all the winter attachments in the barn:bigthink:

Good job Allen, keep those leaves off the lawn:biggrin2:

Nice pics Saturn And Allen!:beerchug:

Thanks guys!

Finally a nice cool day in NC. Got to do some hauling for Jenn. Time to lawn sweep the yard again. :biggrin2:
