One thing we discovered yesterday--the tires are loaded! I keep an old set of bathroom scales at the shop to calibrate the planter and grain drill. I decided to weigh the tires--both came in at 95lb. I don't think it will spin cutting grass!
I knew something was up as when I took it for a test drive after I bought it. I would go full speed in one direction and then switch direction as fast as I could (in gravel so it could slip)---well with all that weight and traction I only did it a couple times, that sucker will bite! Dad looked and it doesn't appear the guy used tubes
Guess I'll have to see what fluid is in there and go from there.
