Re: And I came home with two dollars

Nice save ken! I can't believe I never thought of that trailer hitch combo....that is great!
As for the "light oil"...you better clarify cause big Mike will be under his hood looking for the light oil dipstick when his turn signal lever gets sticky.

That's sounds pretty neat. Some pictures of the unit would be nice. Those kinds of things can be great for cleaning and maintenance but when you start talking about the mower deck maintenance sometimes they can get in the way if it has a big platform.
