Default Running real good

Well I got the 682 out to mulch leaves on the neighbors yard with my son. My boys earn $50 bucks a shot at cutting grass for the neighbors and they wanted the yard cleared of leaves too. (3.0 acres) My son was on the JD 345 and I was on the 682; he followed right behind me. I had the deck pulled up high to mulch and he came through with a cut and finish mulch. We knocked the leaves down real quick, it was good to watch 13 year old learn the tricks of leaf management

The 682 started to backfire at the end but I managed to finish. Thinking it was a lean condition I sprayed a little carb cleaner on the carb mounting base. She perked right up when I sprayed so I thought I had the problem nailed. I pulled the carb to check the gasket, oddly it was a loose choke cable that caused the choke to not open all the way making it run rich. WHATEVER. She's back together now and running way too good for the $200 I spent to buy her. I love this tractor!!!!!!!!!!!
