That is a beautiful lawn Matt! It literally begs you to make lots of kids and play football on it!

Yesterday was like Christmas came early. First this 6 spool hydraulic valve arrived from Kansas Missouri. Holding the 26 lbs of metal in my hands and closing my eyes makes me see a small backhoe some time in the future.

Later in the day @FUTZ brought the fitting for the 1" hose intake of the baskets case 644 with the after market pump.

Is that normal for your area? Mine is going dormant early. Not that I’m complaining! I look forward to mowing season every spring, but by fall I’m ready to be done!

My grass is pretty happy too, been wet and warm since the mid summer dry time. I thought the colder weather would slow it down more but I'll be cutting later today or tomorrow, 9 days since last cutting. Leaves will falling soon and the 4118 is not ready.

Forgot how much I liked the little 224. This is the one with the freshly rebuilt engine. I had to move it and now I want to start using it lol :rofl:
