I had a cherry picker once

Never loan stuff like that. Got it back in pieces.

Have a 3rd husqvarna I’m going to start working on. Do a carb swap. Fuel was going into the crank case for one thing. Lol 😐


Any of those work on your curren
t runner if the hammer fix doesn't last?




Parts are so cheap, like those pulse fuel pumps, are about $10 online.

There’s identical set up on that scotts mower in one of my pics


But yes, it was the same. Im just saving it for this other project.

so this brings up an interesting topic for you guys who do mower crap. working topside is no problem, but for anything underneath like idlers, etc it is a pain in my ass. i have tried ramps which just get in the way and one of those atv lifts which i don't trust cause it cost about 20 bucks at big lots. anyone ever just sit one on its ass end and work on it? empty fuel tank of course. wondering about the oil pouring into the top end. PITA to dump the oil every time.

That engine lift in my pic above is only used for mowers. Cheap Horror freight unit. Folds up out of the way when not needed.
Its down in the pic with mower wheels on the legs.

If I had to work on them a lot I'd get a table lift. My bud uses his fork lift.

I have had to drain fuel and oil if its going to be a pain sitting on the floor for the job.

My grandad always used a come-along hooked to the back porch roof. Lifted up the front end of his riding mower so he could sharpen blades or whatever.

Have a similar abomination at the up north place - no pics (didn't happen). Just imagine your mower phuqqed Forrest's Snapper and you have it pictured.

Gotta keep it Green around the big house.

You sure you can't save that one with the Korn logo on it? At least that lid? A little epoxy fix that crack right up. Classic graffiti there!

Best and only type lawn mower I ever had.

Don't believe in cutting something down merely for aesthetics that can simply and easily be grazed.
But I've never been a urban dweller either.

The guy with 60 head of cattle squeezed in on 52 acres he’s leasing has one of those jacks. Gets to braying in the mornings when we deer hunt the big oaks along the fenceline here at the home place.

Lol, i think he (the cow man) believes I took a shot at him last year when he kicked up a yote putting around on his wheeler. I busted that song dog as she zipped down the saddle I have a stand in. Guess he think he can siphon deer off of our place, he only has about 10 acres that is wooded.
Usually those donkeys are really good watch dogs.

Damn I got that exact same mower. (In the opening pic) Mine still has the skins on it tho. Use the heck out of it for a garden hauler. Have a trailer I pull with it.

I am slumming a 14 foot Shulte, powered by a 165 horse power Puma. For work that is.

Currently we got an old lawn General. Old puts works. Finding belts was a Bitch.

Bought a cub 2182 with a 60” deck a year ago. Liquid cooled 3cyl gas kubota. Had to fix the rotten deck but it goes good now. Lots more fun than the ztr. Lots of torque.
