Are you riding with work boots on?

 

I mulch everything but if I let it go too long I have to go over it twice or it doesn't cut it all. Gator blades helped some, but not 100%. I have a bagger but have never used it.

When I was in probably 8th and 9th grade, a friend and I would modify old lawn tractors to do more fun things than mowing lawns. We made one that went 40 MPH and locked the differential on another so we could take it through the woods without it getting stuck all the time.

Our parents had no interest in enabling this hobby for some reason and we were in need of parts on several occasions. The solution was adding plywood floors to childs' bike trailers and using them to get stuff from another friend's junk yard. One time he loaded his up with a lawn tractor transmission and a few wheels and tires. I opted to transport a 14 HP opposed twin Briggs engine. The 8 mile ride up 750 ft in elevation to get those home wasn't easy, but we did it.

 

I use a similar trailer to go camping, about 5 mile trail with maybe 70-80 lbs of cargo (beer is heavy). It’s easier than humping it on your back, but any hills even small ones will kick your ass.

 

Rhode island we don't have hills.

I might give it a whirl. They're on Facebook for like 35$ I'll see if I can grab one and give it a try. I don't buy much groceries, but I would need a bigger backpack. And for the same cost I can try a trailer instead.

 

Got my QuickJack working today. Such a cool product. My Vette is nearly impossible to get into the air easily without a bunch of steps, none of which I was interested in doing.

I’ve got the extension rails as well as the SUV adapters so I should be able to use it on the Tacoma as well. Yes, the Tacoma is quite easy to get up in the air, but this is still fun.

 

Damn, I need to make a mount like that for those.

 

This is just the $29.00 QJ mounts screwed to blocking between my studs. They’re touching the ground so they’re not hanging solely from the mounts. I plan on mounting a pair of safety chains low and high across each stud bay to prevent them from falling forward if for some reason the blocking lets go. I also have to do the same for the extensions which will go on either side of the frames. I will relocate my irrigation control box.

QuickJack screwed up my order which I’m was pretty awesome as they sent me two Box 3 of 3, so I have a spare pump and all the connectors / lines.

 

Very nice. I'm going to have to steal your idea for that.

 

Lmao i had just started getting some things done on the list and getting the trailer mounted and tested was one of them so yea lol, they are really comfy

 

Oooh very cool. Hmmm I could use some lift on my truck haha

 

Happy father's day to all you mother #uckers!

Have a great day!

 

Those look a lot like the CCW wheels I wanted for my WS6.

 

CCW Classic?

Mine are BBS LM. I wish they were 18/19 instead of 17/18 but beggars can't be choosers.

 

I was looking at the classic and another model

 

Just got back from Pembroke from my son's wedding. This is his 2nd. The Starter wife gave him a great Daughter, but it only lasted a year he has custody. The wife liked too many boys!
This one is built to last, they have a newborn and kept the wedding low-key with about 45 people in their backyard. A few Tents, frozen Margaritas, and a Taco food truck.
It was a very nice day.
I'm glad I took tomorrow off!

 

Pembroke as in Pembroke MA?

 

Yes! Stayed at the Baymount.

 

I laughed way too hard at this phrase haha

Well cheers and congratulations!

 

SP505 if memory serves me?

I need one more link for the left most side and then I’ll trim down the chain but this is my final setup. Safety chains are likely overkill but sometimes I like overkill.

 

Definitely holler next time you're down my way man
