Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Each year I try to use this time of year to maintain my Mowers. Just took the deck off this lawn tractor, scraped and wirebrushed top and bottom. Primed it this afternoon, put a new belt that surrounds the three blade shafts and will paint it tomorrow. Also, will put new blades and just give it a good winter check up. This save the decks from rusting out so quickly. Just passing this thought on to all and wish you the best. Will---checking in as xydcxrwjj

The first time I witnessed someone hoisting up a mower was when Craftsman came out to put in my new 17 HP engine. The old one was leaking oil. Happened just after my first run. He used a comealong, which I guess is short for a rachet puller. He told me to hook it to a tree, deck. I don't like remove the mower deck, especially when I've got it leveled just right.

AJace----a comealong is what I use. It does the job so well. Keep saying I am going to buy a Electric hoist but never do. I have a pecan tree next to one of my pumps---I hoist it lup, get my pressure washer and it does a job. To preclean under the decks , I shred my leaves in my orchard, the leaves plus small pencil sized limbs and sticks do a pretty good job.Take care and we will talk again---Will xometimes called xydcxrwjj
