You need to go with what's in your area.
I don't know about other ones but JD around here is horrible for cust service. Relative has a JD and lost his headgasket less than two years after he bought it. They wouldn't do anything for him since he never brought it back for "Service". He changed his own oil etc. So I ended up doing it for him.
I didn't want a hydro drive but that's all I could get for what I wanted. I prefer belt drive.

 

Is that the most stupid shit you've ever seen?
I back up mow about 20% of the time. It would take me about an extra 30 min to flip around d etc. I would use more fuel. I better get the epa involved as their safety crap is polluting the environment more.

 

I changed my push button to a switch. So I don't have to worry about it and PAY ATTENTIONS to driving instead of looking down and pushing and turning shit.

 

Thanks Jim...I'm just trying to avoid getting into trouble!

 

Morning all. Late to the party this morning and you boys have been busy! I have a mid 90s Cub, ear check that, really MTD. Nanny reverse switch disconnected. One issue I've been having is the battery only lasts two years. I need a new one again this year. It won't hold a charge. Charging system is working fine so I'm tossing it up to cheap autozone batteries. I'm going to try an AGM motorcycle battery that I got on line...

BTW for scars, I have 3 belly buttons from multiple tubes with lines looking like connect the dots. No need for photographs...

 

You too Kevin, enjoy your day bud

 

I'm glad there is a factory workaround, hope it does not brake. I don't like making changes to factory specs, unintended consequences. Stuff is so complicated these days, safety/ nanny/EPA bullshit

 

Front blew thru with rain earlier. K Ike 45 degrees lower than yesterday evening brr.

 

Well drive work is out. Of course she stepped in the deepest part of my repair. So it's still soft.
Dam. So maybe I'll pull out the pressure washer and wash the shed and back of the garage.

 

I just have to turn the key back to that position once it is started so no touching anything . I still think it is a snowflake thing but as I recall there was some one who back over his kids with his mower but it was smallish tractor as I recall. I just googled it yeah it happens fairly regularly it appears :{

You finish up the boat you said you were working on it when it happened .

That line of storms is heading yalls way.
Nascar sucks nowadays but it's the only racin I can view. Missed Bristol and today is Richmond .

 

Sadly they still don't stock common sense at supply house.

 

I am going to guess the yellow triangle pictograph lites and stays lit the entire time the key is in that position ?

Boat was ready to go. I put it back in the garage. I Had to clean my stairs she walked up with repair material on her shoes. Was not in the mood to go after.

 

What did ya use?
Here after I tamp asphalt quickrete in bag I use dry mortar mix and drive on it to pack and harden.

 

My craftsman did that I put the same in and a battery tender on it good to go for the last 3 years now.

The first thing you do, which has not changed since they made mowers, is
IS SECURE THE AREA.

 

I'm sure the light stays lit, maybe flashing.Pouring rain now, I want to try my new found option.

 

I use trowel patch..
I can use a 2x4 and pull the material through the low area and level as I go.
Then after it's dry I use a cement block and sand/scrape the edges etc and blend them in. Then I seal it. I do it every 2 or 3 years. The ground moves a lot here so I have 2 cracks that come back all the time but my repairs keep water and such for undermining the rest of the drive
