Beth, thanks for your input! I am using nearly worn out turf tires (on purpose) at 15 psi to reduce friction. I will look into the tri-rib tires...
One question about those...do the ribs put grooves in the turf? I want to keep the lawn as smooth as possible. I overseeded this fall and things are looking pretty good. Pictures are attached at bottom.
At the moment, I am removing the engine from my 1864 to replace the coils. Hope to be up and running very soon. This is my favorite mower!
FYI...I started working the deck I purchased from you last spring, documenting things as I have gone along. Have been pressure blasting the small parts and repainting them as well as deck pieces that fit in my sandblaster. I haven't cleaned up the deck shell as of yet.
Not sure why some of my pictures are small?? Plan to do sequential step posts to show the process in the near future.
Hope you enjoy my efforts thus far!
