Good morning everyone.
I was up at 4am to let our oldest dog out and she refused to come back in, she wanted to lay on the porch so I let her and went back to bed. my wife let her in at 5:30. The yad is completely fenced so they are safe.
I mowed yesterday until one of the mower deck support rods came loose and I just didn't feel like crawing under it to replace it. The cotter pin must have broken to let the rod fall out.
The brass AS616 has become a real pain in the brass. I remotored it and it still was not running. I took the front truck off and found a burr on a gear that was stopping it from turning altogether but even after fixing that it won't run. I don't want to completely regear it so I am going to remove both trucks and try polishing the brass gears. They turn but not freely. That will be a good evening project this week. Time to fix the mower.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy weekend.
Charlie
