My Sears SS15 wants to raise up when I’m pulling a plow or disc. I actually made a bracket to use to hang barbell weights that my son left behind. Wouldn’t you know it he decided he wants them to start working out again. Off to plan B
What did you do with your tractor today?

This one was repowered with a HF predator engine. I bought it with no engine in the tractor. I have some small suitcase weights i run on the front of my MF14 I can hang off the bumper to help hold it down. It doesn't help the yard has lots of hills.
Ours has a Briggs snow blower 8 hp engine, someone else put in before we owned it. Man they cut the grass some nice. I find they are tippy side to side because of being narrow. I loaded the rear tires to help with that.
Jumpins, now that I think of it we’ve had the MF7 tractor 18 years this month. It was the second tractor my son and I got when we got into the garden tractor craze.

Happy 18th anniversary of owning that little MF7, Noel and son!
Guess I got my first MF 32 years ago. The MF8E. Never got a red one until 12 years ago. That's when I found out that folks like them to collect and restore too.

I had to bench my Simplicity rear mount tiller last year. It stopped turning and it was suppose to be a winter project but didn’t happen. I sure miss it.
I picked up a spare tiller a few years ago. got it for $50.00 but no mule drive, it is a lot newer than my old one.
Went to an auction first this morning. Tabler after table of small household items with a bunch of junk threw in. Left and dropped off a couple shepherd hooks at the daughters a couple miles from the auction. Got home and put the back up camera in the new-to-me pickup. GPS will be used as a temp thing only. Won't mount it any where. Now to get the rest of thes tuff off the deck table and back in the truck where I can find it. Not near as much storage in this one.
Mowed 3+ hours on my newest to me, ariens gt16. First action for it this season.
I did fire it up a couple of weeks ago just to see if it would.

Mowed with the Craftsman GT5000 for a little over an hour. It acted like it was trying to vaporlock a couple of times. Think I will order a new fuel pump. Got the front half of the acre done at least. Didn't have time to get the MF12G out to finish.

Got the CC1862 (with power steering Noel) in the shop for a full service. Couple mowing's and will need to change the deck gauge wheels. One was put on inside out and cannot get to the grease zerk. T^o close to the rear wheel. My back was killing me or would have changed it yesterday. Put so gear oil on it to lube it for the time being. Will Mow on Wednesday. Usually like to mow on Friday so it looks nice for the weekend.
Finally removed the backhoe off my BX Kubota yesterday and got the 3 point hitch back on. Mounted the quick hitch, then hooked to my 48" tiller. This time I'm loosening the clutch till she slips to make sure it's clutch disc is not rust
locked. Just got 2" of rain, so no garden tilling for a few days, but gives me time to pick up sweet corn and green bean seed come Friday when we're going to our favorite greenhouses owned by Amish. Very nice people and very good products!

I tested out the reel mowers that came with my Farmall over the weekend. I just greased them, didn’t sharpen them or anything yet, but they worked great. I just hooked up 3, which is 60”. I have two more yet that would make it 72”. They worked great, but not really practical for our yard. Too many tight spaces and obstacles to mow around. It was fun though. I had to use use the 1810 to mow the areas I couldn’t get to. Usually it takes me about an hour and a half to mow the whole yard. With these I had about 90 percent done in about 40 minutes, the maybe 15 minutes to finish with the 1810.
