it was over Easter break, my daughter helped, I wasn’t in a rush. Took 3 days to tear it down, 4hours to put it back together.

 

Sounds about right.

 

I put a clutch in a Cub once when our son was young, he had to come check it out

 

Really? I’ve enjoyed the 2 times that we split a tractor, then again I thought rebuilding our D3 under our house as well as getting sprayed by pepper spray we’re both fun as well, so I may have a different sense of fun than you.

 

Yeah, you must be the sort who'd take a shot in the nuts on a dare.

 

@Steve Urquell
Like shaef said, slow the flow of the water.
What I have done that helps:
1. Put some small piles of bigger landscaping rocks in a few spots just to break up waterflow. I used piles of 3 to 5 rocks with each rock being about a foot wide but jagged and odd shape. Lots of nooks to catch sediment.
2. Landscape timbers to make a barrier to contain gravel.

 

Naw, I don’t like to do stupid stuff like that , I prefer non-damaging.

 

Thanks for the tips guys. I will implement<--(see what I did there? ) some of those ideas.

After using the box blade a couple days and having my cultivator drag when raised I'm ready for a sleeve hitch cylinder upgrade. I have my old bucket curl cylinder. Working out how to mount it.
Current cylinder is a deck lift cylinder. 1.5" bore, 2.5" stroke. Will lift ~180lbs.

Curl cylinder is 2.5" bore, 6" stroke. Will lift the whole 1400lb tractor lol. I think I can mount it in the sleeve hitch frame pin and extend my hoses from the left to the right side as it's pretty busy over there with the spool valves.

Will I get a "Baddest sleeve hitch on the planet" award for this one?

 

My John Deere lawn mowers hood finnaly fell apart on me so I built one out of wood it was cheaper then paying 280 bucks for a new one I got the mower for free cause my neighbor couldn't get it started lol it needed a new fuel filter found that hood now you see why I built one out of wood

 

That looks good

 

I was never one to need a riding mower, my whole lawn can be walking cut in 30 minutes. But, my neighbour had a Murray sitting around under a tarp. 17hp, 42 inch cut. Needed a blade spindle but that's all. Now I can cut with the walk behind around trees etc, weed whack, then finish with the Murray (and the grandson riding along) and be finished in half an hour.

Ran the Murray down to the neighbour's place for her to cut her lawn last week. Her Husqvarna zero turn needed a belt, of course the first thing coming for replacement was a blade.

 

Truth

 

Can’t recall who had asked about ford hand tools but this is what the contents of a Model T toolkit included.

 

Here ya go

 

That be me who’s askin’. Thanks for postin’ that. So it was part of the Car tool kit, not the tractor then. Love old tools. Like they ooz history.

If it’s like any other dealer, they’ll argue overloaded but Man have they got a deal on upsellin’ you. Best of luck, Chris.

 

Lotsa ways of doin’ things. Only one right way. Guess you gotta decide.
