    Yeah it's dumb.

    Sorry, I meant the actual part of the 1.5k trailer torsion spring, not the direct fit part for the mower. 1.5k seems too much.

    I'm only going by visual interpretation. As far as I know there is nothing lower capacity.

    Again, I have done very little research.

    All I know is that they are a torsion suspension reporposed.

    These are torsion springs.it would be simple to make the ZT front suspension out of them.

    Finally caught a day after rain and some lower winds to clean up and burn 7-8 trees that were laying behind my shop in the weeds from the previous home owner. A grapple would have been nice but pallet forks worked well enough for scooping stuff up and toting it over to the burn pile

    After, don’t mind my steel racks I was midway through dragging out:

    Collected my volunteer pumpkins. Seeds were in the compost from last year so not a planned planting but well received.

    2 ferrules, 18" of 1/4" hose, no fittings as I supplied them. $30. I kinda felt that was high but it's the only game in town when you have specialized fittings.

    Thanks! It’s 2 acres tucked in the woods so it’s a nice manageable size with some privacy. My wife is from the south suburbs of Chicago so this has been a big change in all good ways for her coming from the city! She actually found it harder to sleep at first not hearing sirens/music/traffic at all hours of the night but loves the peace and quiet now

    Oddly enough I live in town, but suffer none of the "in town" issues. I do live close to the end of a dead end street and yea there can be some traffic, but after 9pm it's dead quiet. Now, if I drive the Talon to work that's a different story; I'm the guy disturbing the peace. I can just barely sneak in front of the house, 3rd gear barely pushin' 1200 rpm's. Stupid loud muffler :rofl:

    Years ago (decades) I lived in town and a co-worker lived near by. I had the typically loud V8 powered car back then.
    He came rushing in 1 minute before the bell and said "thank goodness your car is so loud, I heard that thing start up and I was still in bed!" :rofl:

    I've got it down to a science getting out of the neighborhood quiet, but anybody who lives in the couple houses on the mountain definitely hears the "let me play you my song of my people" as it's screamin' 3500-4000 rpm's trying to gain enough speed to get up it. :rofl: It's stupid, yes, but I'm kinda reliving my teenage years through it sooo... :rofl:

    I had an hour to kill today and made labels to ID the dash controls on my 3205. Vinyl car wrap leftovers, stenciled with sharpie and covered with packing tape to protect the lettering.
    I did the throttle/choke a few weeks ago.
