Rivervalleymgb Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Monday Took the ZTR mower out over the weekend for it's oil change and season readiness look over. Hour meter indicates that I average 50 hours per year. How the heck the deck became an inch low in front and a front tire got three sidewall cuts sitting in the garage I'll never figure. PIA to change the oil on this thing. Awaiting epray tires and tubes. Per instruction manual I should remove the deck and turn it over to change the blades; I think not. What brand? I have a Bad Boy and I just elevate the front to switch out the blades. 5 Quote
USNRET Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 ^^^This PC won't copy/paste or quote^^^it's Craftsman and I have always just jacked up the front to change blades. I found this deck removal tidbit in the manual while trying to find oil capacity. 5 Quote

twistedcrankcammer Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Just bought gas and with a 8 gallon purchase I got free lighter fluid and a bag of charcoal. These are the good ole days. I watched a show awhile back about Ford....and there was something like when you bought a new modle "t" it came with a free bag of Kingsford charcoal. The charcoal was made with the scaps of the cars. If ya google Kingsford and read the history it tell the story...it's really cool.. MKP :-) Charcoal was invented by Henry Ford as a way to make use of the scraps from making the wood spoke rims. The name of Henry Fords charcoal...... Kingsford! Roger 4 Quote

minermark Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Afternoon gang $120 in the Nascar pool, not bad for $10 bucks a car and I picked two cars. I came in second, of course after the dentist I just had to stop by, and then off to spend twice as much at Costco. I see the mail just came in, I better go fix up the wife's "New" remote. 4 Quote
minermark Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Morning gang Bison, black bean & Cheese Burrito's, sounds like the plan of the day. Should look into picking up another HD drive fore the Ol'Pc, this windows 8 machine sucks all around. First cup Duggans enhanced time for a second. I see a Fry's flyby in my future. New Ant install last Sat, that one cost $15 bucks from the swapmeet, a $300 in it's day.(A Vertical). next one requires tree trimming of BOTH neighbors trees hanging too close to the cave. With a little tree trimming, I figure to get @least a 125' run for the long wire ant shortwave. Only have 15' hangin up there now and listening to HongKong news. 8 Quote

If not, I'll have Chuck send you a copy. 6:10 by the time I see this. The wife HOPES im on the forum, it's the ONLY place I spend NO money. The wife would disagree with the sleeping-in-senerio. See thinks she has another Cat as far as Naps go. 6 Quote
minermark Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Good mid morning gang Got a couple hours in cat nap. Cold duggans enhanced coffee tasting mighty fine. Checking emails I see my Bay counteroffers are in....so I must go spend money. Burrito and a BM sound good for Brunch. 5 Quote
