Well I got the stator for the 1250 ordered, so while waiting on that, I figured I would see how far the battery would let me mow before it would crap out and kill the mower. I got about 4/5ths of my yard finished, just a bit over an acre, before the mower started spitting, cutting out and just acting bad in general. So I had to pull the deck and mule drive off and switch everything over to the 128. Bought a brand new PTO belt for the 44A deck today and the belt guide showed the same number for the 128 and the 1250. I went ahead and put the new belt on the 128 but it seems to be an inch or two too long, I have the adjustment set right, but the adjusting bolt on the mule drive is maxed out getting it to that point. It worked alright but could tell it needed to be tighter.
Going to start pulling the 1250 apart this week and get the motor out and ready for the replacement stator. That was about all I got done today, along with having the Central A/C fixed in the house. A whole story in itself. May have to sell the 1250 and tiller to help defer the repair costs. Still giving that some consideration tonight. Anyway, that's enough for one day.
