Thanks guys!

Max, I had two 100's. Conner is right, Dually isn't ever going anywhere. :beerchug:

worked on the 1811 brakes
 

Today I took the brakes off of the 1811 since they were frozen solid with rust. Managed to get both assemblies off without breaking or stripping the bolts. Found the brake mounting bracket 719-3048 on the left side was broken. I'm not sure what it's made of a magnet won't stick to it. Might be able to weld it but used ones are all over ebay for about $20 as part of the whole assembly. You could tell it's been broken for many years. Put both of the cam mechanisms in the vice. Soaked them with PB Blaster and worked the lever arm back and forth slowly with hammer blows until they now work properly. Cleaned all the parts (except the pads) with the wire brush wheel and put lube on the proper points and reassembled. The right side is ready to put back on. Will have to do something about the left side bracket before that one goes on. The tractor is outside under a tarp. It's raining here today so the only thing I could do was take off the brakes and work on them in the shop.

Began moving 10 cubic yards of egg rock
 

by hand. Dumb.

Ace...

A loader would have been nice in that situation. :biggrin2:

I feel your pain. I just did that, but the JBjr saved my butt. Just for grins I tried the shovel and I could hardly get it to go into the rocks. Somehow the JBjr managed and I got it done in a few hours.

I am renting a small front end loader. I think we got 6 cubic yards moved from the street under the deck with the cub and a Brinley 17 CuFt trailer.

i was pulling hay wagons with the 100R too conner

Mowed the lawn with the 2182 and the Big Six O :biggrin2:

Monday I replaced the remote oil filter lines on my 1810. One was worn through and leaking where it passes through the tin shroud, but both got replaced. And changed the oil and filter. As difficult as it was to get to the drain plug, I doubt my 88 year old Grand Father changed oil too often. Next time I change it I may see if I can get an elbow on it and turn it down for easier access. Or drill a hole in the front frame so a socket extension can pass straight through to the drain plug.
