We mowed last Thursday and going to mow today. Talking in the 90's temp wise so some of it is going to get cut a little wet. Slow down a bit and they still do a decent job. Don't want it to short with hose hi temps anyway.

Got the mowing done, mowers washed up and back in the shed and on the deck by noon. Took a 1/2 hr. coffee break about mid way through. Cub ran super so must have got all the junk out of the tank. Crossover hose is original so I think that is where it came from. Going to pick up new hose and put all new fuel lines on it both directions.

I forgot to post it, but the belts I ordered last Friday night got here Tuesday. Pretty darn fast service again from V-Belt Supply Co. I think that I'll let the cracked deck belt go until it gives up or the end of cutting season whichever comes first.

Edit---I meant to put this in the "what are you currently working on" thread. Sorry.

Fired the Bolens G12 up to pull the Qt to the shop. G12 hadend't been started since it plowed the garden last fall. fired right off, on Ethanol mind you. Was fun steering both tractors around a pond and up a fairly steep incline and 180° in the drive to get it headed in the shop door. Carolyn got on the QT and drove it the last bit or don't think I would have made it. Now to see if I can get it running decent.
 
I had to work on my normal "mowing Monday" since there is a holiday Thursday. At least the work days are only 8 hours this week though, so I got the mowing done after work today. Just in time too, I hear thunder as I type this! MF12G performed flawlessly!

I should get the deck back on my MF12G some day, just for fun, hehe my fathers favorite saying. Some times thou, when he'd say, lets do this, just for fun, it was not necessarily fun.
any way, everybody is talking about grass cutting, I am doing grass cutting too, but with my lawn-boy push mower. Hehe.

If you have all the links, they go on pretty easy, Noel! I've been having fun mowing when everything goes smooth and for the most part it does!

Had the QT out knocking down some 2' high grass. Fuel pump is bad so can only run it down to about 2/3 of a tank left. Will put the fuel pump on this morning and will have a good backup, if I don't sell it down the road.
 
After I got the oil fixed on the QT I used it to mow for about 1/2 hour. Worked real good but blades could use sharpening. Will mow the main yard tomorrow morning. Then have the afternoon free to watch the race at Daytona.

Now I need a belt for the Iseki mower deck. That will teach me to let it sit unused for three years. I did get the yard about 1/2 mowed.
 
Fired the 1512 Cub up and finished mowing this moning. Did have one little set back. Back steering rod joint fall apart but had a good used one on the shelf. 15 min to swap them out and back mowing again. Found a couple more limbs that need to go.
