Got my hitch adapter finished and did a little box blading. Working well on the mouse house 3225

You need to source some Rat Fink decals.

 

Leaves are done for the year.

 

Mine, too!

The bagger on the ZT is a must have!

I don't want to sell my latest project Z Master.

 

The bagger is nice, I had a trac-vac and spent more time unclogging the hose than getting leaves up. Found this mower from a friend of mine, it’s been a good one. It started starving for fuel again yesterday, time to rebuild the carb I guess.

 

I talked to a friend yesterday who works on welders and was telling him about my mower starving for fuel. He said take the carb off and run a wire through the jets, he sees it all the time on welders. Now to find time to do it.

 

I would hope he starts simple with a fuel filter change 1st?

 

I’m gonna change the filter as well

I pulled the line at the carb a few weeks ago and it was flowing fine but that doesn’t mean it don’t need changing.

 

Remembered the man gave me a spare engine he had when I bought the mower. I’m gonna clean the carb off it and use it for a while

 

3225 is earning its keep today with more driveway maintenance. Loving the 3pt hitch.

 

That should save some time.

 

I made something

 

I mounted some 16x7.5-8 tires on wheels for my 3225. Clamping the tire down solved the nightmare of keeping the bead down while nipping them over the rim. If you've ever struggled with these it made it a breeze for me.


My 2.5" 3240 lift cylinder has been leaking. I bought a 2" cylinder from Surpluscenter knowing my power would be decreased but speed is almost double. The 2.5" had more power than I needed. It lifted the rear of the tractor lifting a tree with the loader the other day and the rear has 500lbs of ballast. Below is before and after on speed.

Awesome! Sometimes we need to read the stats with a bit of skepticism. It worked for you.

 

When I built the loader I racked my brain with the hydraulic calculators before choosing the 2.5" cylinder knowing it was more than I really needed. I figured I'd rather be a little slower but still have plenty of power.

I hope the 2" doesn't disappoint me.

 

I love clearing snow!!!

 

Mechanically produced snow wave.

 

Use to piss off everyone in the house when I was young, running from window to window at 4 in the morning to watch the grader clear the street and the lane. Had a 3 sided view of the action. Barely slept after a fresh snowfall waiting for the big yellow Champion to come around. More exciting than Santa Claus.

 

Likely before they had the back up beep too.
