    So got bearings done, had a difficult time with bearing removal. It was like the race seized to axle tube. Didnt look over heated but the bearings were loose.Took a lot of slide hammer work but i got it.

    Being alone in the building was nice - quiet with the machines off and more importantly the workers gone! :woot:
    I could get a lot done in an hour or three.

    On the other hand it almost always meant I had been there 12 hours already.:bananadead:

    Pretty much a lifetime machine with good care.

    The downside to a reel mower is that to properly sharpen the blade the assembly needs to be removed and put on a special machine.

    Or alternate methods:

    Louisiana started an online rating and sanitarian report site some years back. My coworkers and I agreed to ONLY look up places we were interested in, NOT places we have been and would like to go back to… for this very reason. Roaches can be a hard fight, but if you do it right, you shouldn’t see them again after 2-3 generations… except dead.
