Hello all,
I am a former ASE certified mechanic. Now employed in the utility industry. Same money but better retirement and medical insurance provided
. These days I consider that a big improvement over me being self employed.
My wife and I are owners of a 2007 John Deere 2520, FEL, 62D deck. We had purchased about 1 more acre and needed something bigger than the 2 mowers we had.
Other equipment is:
Ford LGT145 lawn tractor made in 1974. I am going to rebuild the engine to have as a spare lawn mower. The deck is very weak but it has been very reliable for almost 30 years I have owned it. It quit once and would not start, bad condensor replaced it with a used one from a 327 chevy dist. that I had laying around, its still in there need to change it I guess. Had to change the rings out about 15-20 yrs ago.
Cub Cadet 1650 lawn tractor made in 1979 bought it for $200. Engine had a knock, busted piston replaced it and used it but its not very used friendly. The hydro control is under the steering wheel.
