Thanks Dac, it was. I been wanting to do it for a couple weeks now, my stepdad and I went. He drove my hydro. I don’t really like to let these sit all the time and JUST be “show ponies” and “trailer queens”, I like to get ‘em out and drive ‘em every now and then when I can.Looks like fun, Eric!

Put the new belts on the LX255 and sharpened the blades. The fuel leak turned out to be a pin hole in the carburetor bowl. Swapped it out with one from my GT225 and its good to go. Gave the tractor a quick pressure wash to get a layer of crud off. Put the deck back on along with the bagger and mowed the front lawn.Warmed up John Deere LX255, jacked one side up, and got the oil and filter changed. Noticed a wet spot on the concrete and could smell gas. Looks like its leaking around the fuel shutoff solenoid. Might be a bad gasket or just missing. Took the deck off to sharpen the blades. Looks like I forgot to clean it off last fall. Looking at the belts, I think its time for a new set.
I seen this pic yesterday I can relate to that lolDon't worry about me......

Mowed my niece's house using the Scag and then came home and mowed my yard. This thing really needs some different tires than the turfs. If you release the hydro levers quickly, then slide even on flat ground. I almost got stuck at my niece's in a spot I didn't known was a swamp. Slid down my hill and put too long strips in the grass

OH NO. DW said, do another garden tonight!Much of the day spent outside, raking, tilling, moving the garden hardware out to the sides. Last predicted frost date is May 7th.
We hit 81F+ today. Come Monday, I'll either have a sunburn or a nice tan. Went from the freeze to the fryer, nothing really in-between.
Got a new way to T-posts for garden prep too. Saves me all the walking.
SAVED tonight due to T-storms. No jelly arms-n-legs tonight.OH NO. DW said, do another garden tonight!
Wish I had a PTO 3-point tiller. Getting old, walk-behind tilling when done, makes me into a jelly-fish. Can't feel my arms nor legs.
