Which mower deck do those belt covers fit?

I guess you could use them as side panels in a pinch...

Paul , I hope your kidding .
That's actually a decent price for QL side panels ....

Jess,
He has been listing those for quite some time. They started out at a higher price (don't remember what it was) and he keeps relisting them every day or so, even has them listed on more than just the Louisville Craiglist site. Wonder how he "knew" they were for a "Cub Cadet mower deck"......?

Couple last photos....I know the suspence was killing everyone. Lol grouted with a stain proof grout and finished w a bead of silicone that is matched to the grout color. OK! On to the cub cadet projects....this might have bought me a few months of workshop.lol

Looks good Dave!

Thanks Paul. Im still waiting for more island pics from ya.lol Or did i miss them somewhere? Dave

Ok, I've been as bad as everyone else, not posting lately. My excuse, busy, mind on the primary spring chore, making wood. I know I've posted previous pics that are similar because, well, I set up the same every time; loader tractor to pull splitter, another tractor to handle delivery. Only five cords to go , so gotta keep moving...
I do have Cub some stuff to post, just too busy to do a decent thread. Got a wheel weight build and install that I liked, and just finished rebuilding the rear with my friend for his 2182. It was nice to build another differential and kind of cement the job in my mind. Wonder if I will keep doing one a year, wouldn't mind a year off on that job!

Got a real professional set up there Tom! Sure wood b overwhelming to do that much wood by yourself...Good job!

I have had a water problem for the last ten years here where the driveway meets the parking area. I made a couple storm drain boxes a few years back. Gathered a bunch of 8 inch pipe up in North Jersey about 7 years ago. I hope to remedy the problem this week. I will give a couple up date pics.

This looks like a great project, pictures pictures pictures!

Wow Paul...Thanks! I am excited too, this has been a long time coming. Every winter the water that keeps crossing turns to ice and i cant do a thing about it. One year it was about 8 inches thick. Im in a rain delay now as i would like a couple dry days on the lawn so i dont mess it up too bad with the machines. The finished inlet boxes i made the form then took it to the job and poured it w leftover cement. So i will take this extra time to precast my outlet boxes. I can not get this to drain to daylight....well i could but my neighbor would probably sue me. I am going to install a small 1-1/2 clean out in the heel of the 90 at the end that i may run to daylight. I am using mostly perforated pipe and backfilling with clean stone and filter fabric as to let any remaining water that will lay in the pipe perc into the nice clay soil we have here.lol. It may b a couple weeks till i get to this cause work and vacation.

Wow, casting your own concrete boxes, you really do have time on your hands! Really, that is impressive.

So, outlet box....how does this design work? Perforated leader from inlet box feeds outlet box, then what? Is it just box with holes to leach into the surrounding ground?

I want to see a piping schematic... A chart with flow rates would be nice too...oops, that was out loud...

Seriously.....u had to call me out on this! U know how i love to draw on the puder I will probably have the real thing done before i can get a drawing to u Dave

My new "out let" form has seen a lot of action over the last few days. I poured two times. For these small ones I just used a better bag mix with the fiberglass "hair" in the concrete mix. I tried something new instead of oiling the wood form before the pour i painted it w a coat of polyurethane i had on hand. I let it dry plenty. This did not work.......the form does not stick, it just absorbs to much water and makes the outside surface powdery. I will brush this off and seal it anyway. The top edge that is seen is very hard and nice. The second one i did tonight and i went back to the mix of diesel and oil for the form .

My Father's Day card --

The driveway pipe work is hopefully coming soon.....but in the mean time I'm just messin around with some small projects. Two valves have been waiting for paint for a long time. I don't know what color Cub used on these.....or even if Cub painted them. It seems close to cat or case......so I went w the cat. Let me know if u found a better color or what u guys have used. First time using magic brand from tractor supply.....seems OK so far. Gave about three light coats today. Says to wait 24 hours between coats.....so I will hit these again tomorrow. The stick in the last pic is cub cadet yellow

Well....as Tom figured out, I had some time on my hands this past Friday. I asked the whole family to help.....and boy am I glad I did. This was a bigger job than I thought. Mostly because we must have hit a " burry pit" from the old farm that used to sit on this property. Got one pipe in and just need to fine tune some grading. In a couple weeks I hope to do another out the lane further.

One done....one more to go.

Nice work

Dave, nice work there. You will have to let us know if that stops the glaciers from heading across your driveway every winter!

Thanks guys. In a twisted sick way......im ready for a hurricane.... to test her out

Nice work Dave on all the drain culvert work .....I must be having ISP problems because it only took my computer 20 minutes to load all of these 3 to 5 Mib pictures on this page and my laptops still smoking.....

Dave, maybe tone down the size of the pics of dirt in the future, we don't need to count the grains of sand!

Set you camera/phone to the smallest image setting. Image quality will be good and we'll get fast load times.

Wow....sorry guys! Im good at hammering, sawing, raking and shoveling.... Pics and puters...not so much! The good thing is..... i have a few people who may know about this.

Got all my pipe work done for the year and doing some finish gradeing. Made a drag out of a 6x6 and a sheet of 3/4 ply i had layin around. Finished it w my chainlink gate finish rake. I have used this set up before and it does work well.....but both need ballest per your conditions. I had a boy move around on each as to how I wanted it cut or filled.

Wow Dave, the "construction zone" for this project seems to be growing! I hope it all works for you this winter. Any observations during the recent rain?
