Re: Fixing the 222 (aka "Maxine")

Finally had a chance to check out the LED lights on my 222 - I have to say - I'm impressed :thumbsup: PXL_20240602_005902237.jpg Definitely think I'll be ordering a set to upgrade the lighting on the new to me 644...

Re: Broke mower. Could use your opinion

Definitely something you want fixed right the first time... perhaps a local welding shop would cut the ends off and replace the entire tube?

Re: Wood Chipper Improvements

Harry - Thanks! It is actually sort of a "real" chipper - No flywheel here - it uses a great big heavy "S" cam with 2 blades and works great with material from 1/2" up to about 3.5" It was advertised as a 4" chipper but I think that is more of a theoretical size -...
