    @tacotoe - consider one of the aftermarkets, like the rokblok or similar. I have some around here I bought, but ended up just leaving the OE on.

    The freedoms that our brave men and women have fought for over the years have gotten a little...excessive (in my opinion, of course).

    I’ll have to take a picture of it later. I have a new flag I want to hang above the garage. There’s a room above it with two windows. They are not centered to the garage door. If I hang it centered to the garage door it’s not centered between the windows. If I hang it between the windows it’s not centered to the door. I feel like either way I hang it will always bother me.

    We used to fly one back at the pond all the time. With the state our country is in now, the only way I'd fly one these days would be upside down. :mad:

    make a call to a muffler shop. they'll likely have something that could be made to work with a wink and $50.

    I figured that if I'm paying someone to aerate, overseed and fertilize, I should probably replace the blade on my mower *mumbles* for the first time in 14 years... *mumbles*

    The old one pretty much looked serrated at this point. Not sure if it's worth trying to sharpen or if it just goes away.

    14 years :eek:

    The original blades on the little ZT that I use in town were made of a material very similar to tin foil -- but not as strong. :mad:

    They would bend by hitting a pebble or even tall grass it seemed, it was so bad I kept an extra set in the truck. Seriously, I replaced about 15 pair of blades.
    :spending:

    I found a different style of blade, still for a CC but not listed for my ZT, haven't bent one yet. :) I did have to raise the deck up a notch with them.

    I get my wear out of them now. I don't know why they wear on the back side like that. :notsure:

    I wasn't surprised that they were bad but I was a bit surprised that they weren't worse.

    20230513_172614.jpg

    I'm a bit confused as to what's so special about either the blades or the mower that the box the blades came in says it only fits that model mower.

    My supervisor approved of my work.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I am sure with a little looking you can find one that you can modify enough to work.

    I cheated a few times with engine drive welders .
