Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

70 outside this AM. Rain moving through.

Looks like a feet up day. And a day of remembrance.

The feet up, not by choice. I recall reading about Roy and his ZTR. Yeah, I started cutting grass, like David, it is an hours long job. I decided to cut horizontal to the house and not vertical. Figured I would give the pattern a break. What I failed to realize at the time was that I forgot where the rough spots are. LOL. About half-way through the cutting I hit a nice spot and wow....compression fracture of the spine. Should not joke about it. But darn, that made the next few hours and rest of the evening a wash. This AM, still....it will take a few days to clear up I am sure. Not doing that again.

If I can walk or bend without that spike of pain, I may go run some wire in the Milk House. Other than that....I will just take it easy.

Hope all have a good day today, and remember, we are still the best country in the world.

Be safe.

Dang...stroll easy and extra pillows for the night sleep if you can.

Great! Stepdaughter just found out (home test) she's alligatorus positive. And yes, she is vaxxed.
I don't know the latest company rules, but I'll need to find out before going to work

I also advocate no loud noise (construction, mowing, etc) before 7am weekdays.

Me too, but my wife wakes me up anyways.

Been online car shopping. I’m worried about the new Subaru noise. I suspect the CVT. It’s just over 4 yrs old, just paid off, 141k miles.

Scheduled test drive for Mazda CX-5, arrives at dealer in another week. It has 6 spd transmission.

Wife wanted to camp next month, everyplace we go is full.

I did increase the WV bid a little, but haven’t heard back. Saw one lot north of Roanoke we like, not a view though, and more expensive, but looks like nice area.

Hope she doesn't read TBN!!!

.... I put the spring suspension under my seat which helps.

Where did you find this, BEF? I need something like that on the Husqvarna. Mowing the pasture is a lot bumpier than the rest, and makes my compressed disc less happy.

Edit: Ah, just found it on Amazon.

If I can help BEF let me know I was born and raised in Roanoke

OK, here's a pic of the bearing/ case.

I went to the toolbox to take some pictures before RNG posted that a blind hole pulled is the solution.
My suggestion to try grease was based primarily on cost of tools. Blind hole pullers aren’t cheap, they are pretty size specific and then you need to set up a bridge or slide hammer to do the actual pulling. There is an example of a blind hole puller on the bottom right. A small slide hammer with internal expanding jaws might work, the jaws in the one pictured expand outward when the screw is tightened.
However, the pictured tools are all SnapOn, and I’m sure painfully expensive in todays dollars.
If you have access to a lathe, you could make an internal puller pretty quickly if you already have a slide hammer.

Here is one drawer or puller bits to be fashioned to do a lot of tasks.
