Re: 2084 SGT
Oh man Gary that stinks. That tractor is a nice big unit. What size mower deck do you have? . I would say if you want to keep that tractor you have two options. Find an exact replacement engine from a guy like ray weaver and ether you install the new engine or pay a small engine shop to install it. ...

Re: 127 lives!
Oh yeah! That looks sweet! I might have get Tom gathered up and make a trip to Rays and see if he has any hydraulic pumps in his scrap pile. I just have a feeling he might. This long pull handle thingy is not my style..... anymore.

Re: 127 lives!
This 127 I bought back in 94. It's my first, but growing up we had a 126. That one had the factory hydraulic pump that hung on the side. I've done little spruce up jobs to mine here and there but nothing major. The lights are original. The light switch is getting very stiff....I guess from sitting. ...

Re: First mow pics
Here is my official first mow pic. FYI, I'm already cool on the trac vac. Too much on and off the seat, then I have a super heavy can to do something with. I'm just chopping up the bean things.

Re: 127 lives!
When I bring each trailer home, I unload a couple wheelbarrow loads of mulch to beds right by the driveway. I also try to keep the trailer "somewhat" balanced for two reasons. First to make the switch over from vehicle to tractor easier, second is for tongue weight. I do have some elevation changes ...

127 lives!
Mulch around here is a big job. This year was the first year that three old timers worked on it together. Me, my wonderful wife, and the amazing 127! I trust the 127 for the heavy lifting...and pulling. Chains are a must especially with the morning dew. We did 4 very full trailer loads that equals a...

Re: Leaking Hydro
Good job on the repair. I didn't know that these "newer" tractors were cursed with the leaky gasket. The diy brackets look good too. I should probably do that....but I probably won't.
Good to see you again... and don't be such a stranger.

Re: First mow pics
Sounds like a good plan Ken. I like the WD idea, we have some at work so I set out four cans to take home. Maybe instead of spraying....I will make a dunk tank. Might need a few more gallons....not a problem!

Re: First mow pics
Got the vacuum hooked up. It works ok.....It doesn't help that my mower deck has about zero lift. I would say it grabbed 60 percent of the bean pods I was aiming for. I only used it in in one section of my yard and filled one can. I will probably do a different section each week for a few weeks. The...

It rhymes with your name.
The pulling of the choke has got me wondering
