End of season

Looks like the end of another season.Over the last winter I re-bearinged,re-belted, re-pullied and installed new blades on all my 3 decks.All new drive belts and idler pullies on the tractors themselves.My 917 got a brand new Kawasaki 21 hp motor as well as a repaint.This was the best year I ever had cutting the grass and doing chores.No breakdowns!It was well worth the time and effort.That's pretty impressive considering my tractors are approximately all 30 years old.With a little service and maintenance these tractors will run forever.I read that all the sealed bearings have a 500 hour rating.So I decided to change them.What I was expierencing was every so often one pulley or deck bearing would fail.I should be good now for 3-4 years. Life at the house has been rather boring so I will probably rebuild a 7010 someone gave me to stay busy this winter.

That's what it's all about! Satisfaction for a job/maintenance/preparation that's well done. And knowing your machines are in tip top shape;)
