[Grand Pops 1810]

I've been there. This spring the PTO side crank seal on my 1810 was gushing oil. I eventually got the right seal ordered and installed, then the same weekend the ignition switch quit and then the deck belt broke. It is mowing well now for the last 2 weeks, fingers crossed.

I also have a '70s Brand X tractor that is supposed to be backup, but it is down now with a bad coil. It is in the process of going back together, but there's a bunch of competing irons in the fire.

Very frustrating, I agree, to have grass growing quickly and to be waiting for parts... But I won't complain on OCC anymore about an old tractor!
