JimDk Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Here is the last patch of snow on my farm. It's a shady area behind my barn. It has been a long winter. I was taking the 917 to the barn for a summer rest, and could not resist taking a picture of the last ( I hope ) snow.
Brenda Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 quote:the last ( I hope ) snow. Your not the only one Jim! Woke up yesterday morning to more of the white stuff but it was all gone in a couple hours. I am ready to get the mower deck on!
Ted R. Williams Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 We had some fluries here in Cent. Pa. yesterday, I hope that's not a sign of a bad Spring. I'm ready for mowing season, I got me a little mower for my 1/5 acre this past winter hope to post some pics soon.Oh your 917 may be tired but it still looks good!!
OrangeMetalGuy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Yeah I'm not ready for mowing season yet though! Still have to put new bearings in the deck. Grass is already turning... not a good sign.
timack Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I mowed close w/ Honda walkbehind yesterday...good exercise:D Blade still on tractor, ready for late snow. I've seen doozeys around here end of March.
Michiganmobileman Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Looks like a nice tractor. But why put it away for the summer:(? You need to get yourself some summer attachments;). We had a fresh inch of snow Saturday morning, came down til about 11:00, then was gone by 2:00. At least this time of year it does not stay long (usually):D Greg
JimDk Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Greg, The cone clutch is not working on the 917. I have a nice HB-212 to mow with, also our B-210 which we have owned for about 25 years will still lay down a nice stripe. That A/C 917 was a wreck when I got it. It had a twin Kohler with problems, a homemade plow hitch welded to the frame, broken steering wheel, just to name a few of it's little flaws.8C I got a dash tower and steering parts from Sandy Lake, added a Briggs and built a decent plow tractor. I love the Sunstrand for snow plowing.
