^^^^ I bet it doesn't sound good. That would be a good spark plug gap! We want between .004 and .006 (thousandths) clearance.

Pretty straight forward on mine. Make sure you are at TDC on the compression stroke.

^^^^ Same thing on my 4' rotary cutter. The nuts on it were insanely tight. First time I changed the blades....I used a 3/4" breaker bar (40" long) and a length of cheater pipe about 3' long. Wouldn't budge them. I'm 6'-5" and 260 lbs....so its not like I couldn't put some decent pressure on...

Speaking of hidden items: Ran into this today when mowing around an old abandoned barn. No telling what else is in the tall grass around there. I've never spent much time around the 'barn' in the 35 yrs. I've lived on this property. Might get around to tearing it down one of these years...

My 'Chocolate". Gone now....but what a dog he was.

A 'Lab' I had years ago just disappeared one day. Was gone for a full week. I was heartsick about it. A neighbor (nearly 1.5 mile away) called one day to tell me his dog was in heat and that my dog had been hanging around off and on.....if I was looking for him. I went over and retrieved him...

^^^^^

You definitely need a working 'vent' whatever that takes. Then, if it were me....I'd drain the gear lube and replace with John Deere 'Corn Head Grease' and be done with it.

Oh believe me....I know. My Daughter is an 'RN' and has been 'Travel Nursing' for the last 12 yrs. Currently out in Commiefornia (the last 3 years). Says it was Culture Shock at first for a Texas Girl.

^^^^^^ Somewhere on it probably says: "Known to cause cancer in the State of California". Hell.....everything else does. ;)

^^^^^ Yep.

Please do get some and use them. We already know how often times your chores turn into something other than expected. And we would miss your posts here if something awful were to happen to you.

No question a mulcher would do the job and they are very maneuverable to boot. In the OP's case....he is only needing to clean up about an acre of land. Hardly worth the effort and expense for a mulcher in that situation. In MY situation....I have about 25 acres in one spot that I am trying to...

Should work just fine for you. Looks like the property is fairly flat with not many obstacles to maneuver around. Your turning radius (to cut) just got much larger but that doesn't look to be an issue considering the property. It is 'side discharge' just like your MMM is, so you are already...

^^^^ Hay string netting I didn't see in the tall grass along my road frontage. Took me forever to cut it out from under the mower.

I have a similar situation on my property (areas of overgrown briar, blackberry and small saplings). It isn't even a remote possibility of 'walking it' first before mowing. A rabbit could barely find a way through it. I do exactly as you alluded to: Use the bucket on the FEL held low to detect...

That was indeed a pretty quick vehicle for the day (mid 13's) stock. Low 12's with a few mods. Rare vehicle too. Only 21 of the 401-XR were built. No cure for the 'Ugly'.....but a 'sleeper' on the street for sure.

Too bad they didn't squirrel away a bunch of Boss 429's. Would be worth a fortune these days.

Correct. a 'Coydog' is a cross as you describe. But living in 'Deep East Texas' I can tell you, folks are liable to call things most anything. I see some 'possible' Coydogs on my property from time to time, though Coyotes can vary widely in stature and color here.

Fortunately....it didn't kill him. But it crushed his leg (femur broken in 3 places) and the tractor continued running for awhile with a rear tire scraping against his hip (lost some flesh there). This was before the days of cell phones and the property he was working on (they had just bought)...
