Chattering QA palte - One Fix

[MuncyBob]

Shooting muffs and no neighbors works for me...seems like a good idea though.

Swampman. Can you keep us (me) updated on this upgrade. The only concern I have with it is that the wedges get stuck down in there if I am doing extreme pushing / pulling... That they settle down in there and won't come out. I guess the hydraulic ram there is pretty strong....

Thanks

I am happy to say that my PT mowing is MUCH less noisy. Matter of fact, now that the QA plate noise is gone I found that the spacer rings on the front wheels were almost as bad at making noise. That was easy, I took them off and stored them in the tool box, noise eliminated! For a quieter ride, something like this is a must do.

What did you use instead of the spacer rings? Just curious.

Uhh. What are spacer rings on a 422? On the 1800 series it is what keeps the tires apart....

Yesterday, I used my mini-hoe to dig a 130' x 15" trench, installed some pipe, and covered it using the back blade. I had no trouble with the dogs sticking on either attachment.

Nothing. I have one spacer under the deck to raise the deck a bit. The other spacers were just sitting on the top jumping around making noise, so I took those off and put them in the tool box. The mower works the same, just with less noise.

The spacer rings I am talking about are the height adjusting rings for the front wheels of the mower.

The spacer rings being referred to go on the front caster wheel shafts to adjust the cutting height. Rings are placed either under the mounting tube or over it to set the height of the front of the deck. The rings over the mounting tube prevent the wheels from dropping down when the deck is lifted up

The rear wheels are bolted on and don't use spacer rings.
