RE: Poll

Since mowing day can be 7 lawns usually I won't trim, just cut the grass and move on to the next.

On another day I will come around with the trimmer, it usually rides around in the back of the van all summer.

At home I prefer to trim first, on the other hand sometimes not at all.

 

I’m honestly intrigued by what makes people tick. I believe ignorance is our biggest flaw and either I can get through to some or they just tell me to eff off and how dare I show them the mirror…

 

No way!!! Dunno where this was taken probly a Home Depot parking lot but I can find out lol

 

I'm guessing Lowes in Westminster, there's lots of trees around the parking lot. Yup, that's my rust bucket work truck in the background. It does the jobs that my Taco can't.

 

Got the Gator G5 blades in yesterday. Now to wait for the old blades to need changing. We've been able to beat them up pretty good this year.

 

You’ll like those gators

 

Previous customer picked up this 2003 Z Master. 900 hrs. The thing is super clean! I would guess 3 years old, not 22. Even the safety decals look bright and shiny.


Customer asked if I could check it to see why it was over heating.

The 1st thing I did was add a qt of coolant.

I ran it for an hour and it did not overheat, but that low coolant level bothers me.

Been wanting a cooling pressure test kit for some time, so I get to go shopping on someone else's dime.

 

I know I do. It's all I ever put on when redoing a deck and it needs blades.

 

I bought a Snap-On coolant pressure tester at a pawn shop many years ago for $60. I’ve used it twice I think

 

I've bought two of them. One gave out rather quick (wouldn't lift). The other is still holding up. I'll probably try another Arcan from Costco next time.

 

I've never dealt with the water cooled engines. This the 1 st one I've even seen up close.

The owner has bought 3 or 4 of my project mowers from me. He likes the Toro machines, but in truth likes them because I can keep them running, lol.

He likes to go to auctions and came across the above unit. He knows nothing about equipment maintenances. I guess that's what I'm for.

He only bought it for me to check out and then to flip the thing. I wish he would have asked me what I thought of the unit before he bid on it. I would probably told him to pass.

It is very pretty, but 22 years old makes me wonder why it went up for sale.

I hope I can get him his money back plus a little for myself.

 

Best he can do is $20

 

Confirmed it was the Lowe’s in Westminster. Small world eh?

 

It definitely can be, at times. Is your buddy active in the MD regional sub-section? I didn't recognize the 1st gen Taco in the pic.

 

Man, I have to go into work a few days and come back to some tractor drama! lol. WTF is going on here!? (rhetorical) Happy Friday everyone. I hope your weekend tractor rides like a caddy and your back moves like jello!
