Had the 2372 out mowing the lawn, went and parked it, and there was something wrong that wasn't right.:biggrin2:
So into the shop to check out what was wrong. Got the fenders off and my skinny rear tires on. Thought to myself, self, bet there is an infamous cork gasket issue.:bigthink:
2nd. picture is the bottom of the tunnel cover.
For once, sure glad I was wrong. Ended up being the seal in the front of the pump. Called the dealer, and I'll have to wait till next week, cause he didn't have one in stock.

I mowed with the 1211 and then I got the rest out to stretch their legs and figured I'd put my wife and her $600 camera to work.

Don't one of Tim's pictures qualify for Picture of the Week? They sure are pretty.

Thank you. Pics of the 100 were sent in a while ago.

Beautiful! I'm sure you are mighty proud! I sure would be! :beerchug:

:bigeyes:

Those are sharp, I would be afraid to use them for fear of getting dirt on them.

Thanks. They like getting dirty.

They look awesome Tim.:beerchug: You do some fine work, but those bolts, I don't know...:biggrin2: :Boxer: :ROTF2:

Cut the lawn with the Dual Stick 1650. Replacing the 2372 for the remainder of the lawn mowing season.:beerchug:

Nice looking 1650, love the tires. BTW looks like it's time to get that sickle mower out soon too Zippster.

Great looking 1650! :beerchug: Hope your weather warms up!

Looking good Mr chilly zippy.

Looking good there Todd!! Can't imaging wearing a jacket here lately though!!:biggrin2::biggrin2: Been near 100 every day for a week!:bash2:

Those Firestones make steering so much nicer. BUT I miss that power steering. Prolly next week break out the 147 and Haban.
Some of those weeds Round-Up won't touch. Wish I knew somebody who knew weeds. And what kills them...:bigthink:

It was low 60's, and anything below 70, the sweatshirt and stocking hat go on.:biggrin2:

Thanks Lew. :beerchug:

Thanks Jay.:beerchug:

Speaking of "Weed" my new young neighbors know how to smoke it...:biggrin2:

Todd the QL look good with those Firestone and he cut well too!:beerchug:

I didn't do anything on my Cub today, I walk to my mail box and bring a US letter from another Todd...Mr Benjamin included.
PS Thanks for the generous tip Todd!:biggrin2:

Jeepers, Gilles, all I get in the mail is a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers, and typing that says, "You owe xxxx" Think I'm moving to Canada!:biggrin2:

I can write a few pages about why you don't want to do this Todd but instead I will just mention this...Justin Bieber is Canadian.:bash2:

Oh well Pamela Henderson too...:biggrin2:

Got the 147 and Haban sickle mower out today, and did some clipping around the pond.

Looks good Todd!!:beerchug::beerchug:

No jacket today??:bigthink::biggrin2::biggrin2:

I think it's getting time for a haircut Todd, you're starting to look like Doc Brown. Great Scott!!!:biggrin2:

:bigeyes:Holy chit, Send it back!

Zippy, it's the freaking middle of July. What the heck is the temp up there?:biggrin2:

If Doc Brown had a nice IH ballcap! :biggrin2: Looks great Todd!:beerchug:

My dad scored two 28 ton loads of asphalt millings for free the other day. I had already spread one pile, where the Deere is parked, when i took the pic. My uncle got us 8 20 ton loads last fall. The driveway's looking really good now! I made a road down to the barn using about a 1/4 of what we got. The 782 gets to clean up the tight spots.:beer2: Free chit rocks!

:IH Trusted Hand:

Not today Jay. Upper 80's and humid.
Yeah I know, but I lost a bet last Sept. and can't cut it till I make good on it. I was talking smack with my hunting buddies, and one thing led to another, and I was so confident, that it would have been a slam dunk.
I said I'll cut it as soon as I kill three doe, or a buck. There wasn't a buck big enough on our property, so I figured I'd hammer the doe's. Well on the first evening's hunt, I got one, then messed up my shoulder a couple days later, and only was able to go three other times. But I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
So I need two more doe before I cut it. And Sept. is a long way away.:biggrin2:

Upper 80's and humid.

Free is good.:beerchug: Okay Travis, make it easier on me. How many yards does that come out to?:bigthink:

My math is probably wrong. I will guess 38 yards. There was a lot of powder and the 2nd pile got wet. It was a bitch to get a full bucket! I didn't have a counter going, but I'm gonna guess 40 to 50 buckets per pile to get it moved. That's also accounting for my poor scooping skills!:beerchug:

Here's a link to my search. My screenshot image was invalid.

If only you had a time machine you could go back and not make stupid bets. :biggrin2:

That would apply to MANY things in life. Especially the older one gets.:biggrin2:

Todd - By the time you get those other two does winter will be here and you'll be glad to have that extra "insulation". I know I would. My top side lets heat out faster than a fireplace chimney.

The weather here on the south side is just as bad. The heat doesn't bother me, but the humidity hangs on like a 200# wet jacket. Oppressive.

Sprayed a LOT of weed killer today with the 1200. I love that gear drive. I'm a little late, I usually like to spray just after the the first hay cutting, but I been busy. So today was a warm, dry day. Just a little too windy...sorry neighbor..hope you didn't like that Arborvitae hedge to much...

Oh well,..have a 'Gansett?:beerchug:

Busy last few weeks working on the 2182. Here is what I have done:

1. Completely rebuilt both hydraulic valves
2. Removed steering column, removed old grease, and installed new boot and grease. Installed brand new guides for tilt steering, new tilt spring, new steering column boot, and new tilt steering button
3. Installed brand new dash/instrument panel
4. Replaced the hydro pump cork gasket (Finally!)
5. Removed driveshaft and removed old grease, and installed new rubber boots and new fan blade
6. Installed new fan belt
7. Installed front bumper I bought
8. Cleaned all electrical connections and retaped wiring harness
9. Installed new power steering cylinder
10. Fresh hydraulic fluid and filter

I think that's it! Was a fun project.

Unloaded a new to me snowblower.

Yesterday I finished up all the projects and it was time to clean up the mess. The first pic shows the frame I made to hold the old lumber so I could haul it away, I screwed it right to the poly cart for stability. The second pic shows it loaded up, I had about double this amount on it when I moved it. It took about four trips to get it all, the 1211 handled it with ease. I was given the JD carts several years ago and it's great because I can leave it outside and not care. When everything was cleaned up I got the grass mowed and luckily I didn't get any old nails in my tires.

Looks great! Should be good to go for quite awhile!:beerchug:

Guess there wasn't any gates to go thru! Stuck out quite a bit there. :biggrin2:

Nope, no gates but I did get hung up on a small tree.

Yes I should be! :)

I'm seeing one heck of a bonfire right there.:bigthink: Back in the day, that would have been a good "excuse" to have a couple friends over to help clean up the mess, and have a 1/2 barrel tapped, and the grill going...:beer2:

Mowed the lawn with the dual stick today. The 50 incher does a fine job.:beerchug:

yOUR GRASS IS VERY GREEN, i SEE YOUR HELPER BY THE POND.

Should be green, with all the weeds, and rain we get every couple days. :biggrin2:
Yeah, she wants it trimmed, she has to do it, cause I ain't...:bigeyes:
