    If I have just a little bit of 2 stroke left in my can when I need to fill up the 5 gallon as well can I'll just dump it in the push mower. I always run Ethanol free 90oct and never had any issues...

    I used to dump the old snow blower gas in the truck, but I have stopped doing that once I got rid of my old truck...

    Reminds me, I have old 87 oct 10% ethanol gas in the snowblower tank. I ran the carb dry, but between moving and "renovating" I totally forgot it. Glad I live in the country and start a fire with itand can properly dispose of it :spy:

    Looks like he had the heavy side downhill too, which is a big no no with offset tractors.

    Bent part removed, straightened and welded in. Always a bit of a pain welding painted/rusted iron.

    Fortunately the new paint will cover a lot of sin PXL_20220715_200135585.jpg PXL_20220715_200149948.jpg

    Deck got it's 1st coat of paint.

    I used a needle scaler to remove all the loose rust and paint. I ran the wire wheel cup over everything else I could get the cup into. I'd say 90% of the surface was decently prepped for paint. The coat of paint sure brightens it up.PXL_20220716_201603530.jpg

    Oh dude.
    They are so fuckin noisy in certain situations you need ear protection.
    And the whole shop has to grab for it.
    And there is always someone trying to find a noise that shuts him down..

    I'm always with ear protection, so I don't mind it too bad.

    While I was lookin for it I came across the Showroom. Completely empty except for a desk, computer & a sales guy. So he asks “Can I help you?”. I said “Finally somethin’ I can afford”. :laughing:
