My lawn/garden tractor has messed up steering. I took a stab at fixing it back in the fall and my attempt didnāt work. I started making modifications and then winter hit and it was no longer a priority. Now for as much as the grass/weeds are growing and as wet as the ground has been, Iām thinking time is better invested getting something that can handle really tall stuff fixed. I have two 5ā brush hogs and both need work. Spent two days hand filing splines so the new stump jumper fits the 3-point hog so itās finally almost ready for me to finish putting the underside together, set it down, and deal with whatever I have to topside to make it work. Itās been standing on end since fallā¦FACTS.
I spent all afternoon Saturday getting my lawn tractor to run again.
( I HATE chasing electrical gremlins. )
Worked my 24 yesterday.
Technically today was supposed to be lawn mowing day...
It also doesn't help that I have been out of my ADD medicine since Friday.![]()
I really should probably service the brakes and axle bearings/seals on the farm tractor but I donāt have a shop press. HF just had their 20-ton on sale but money is tight as usual so I still donāt have a press. Not that my shop is done enough to have a place to put a pressā¦
