Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

2 front wheel bearings, 1 front flat with new tube, 1 broken belt, 1 blown fuse when belt grabbed clutch wire, clutch wire spliced and tied back, tank of gas, 6 hours and still not finished.

Hang in there Eugene. You will get the bugs worked out and get the lawn finished up. A tank of gas mowing is quite an accomplishment. Been there and done that

Rough start to the mowing season. No grass cutting here yet. This weekend I’d say I’ll have to start.

@Spike188 Hay , that's some pretty tall grass you got there . Eugene
That is a rough start to the season .

Ouch! hope you iron out the bugs soon, you got a lot of mowing to do @Spike188 !

That's no fun...

I'll be hitting round 3 tomorrow afternoon, and Friday morning hopefully. The Walker and it's new 56" deck have worked great (2 almost full tanks per mow). The MF135 is hooked up, greased, and fueled, but I discovvered the 6' Mott flail's belt had deteriorated, and it's a weird size... That's sitting on the table waiting to go when I get back... Twice around the fields is my typical goal for that to keep things in check. Then they get cut periodically.

Without a deck, the 444 is just sitting happily in the barn, still wearing the blower and chains. Nothing specific planned for it until fall leaf pickup, but some project always needs a small tractor now and again to let it stretch its legs...

@Spike188 hopefully that’s the end of the maintenance items for the season. Or you could always let the grass grow and bale it!

We’re in full swing down here. Been mowing for several weeks now.
