New shop started

[plastikosmd]

Good thought on tires, I haven’t added/checked air in the 10 years or so of owning, will put a pressure gauge on them

they flatten a bit moving some of the big oaks onto the sawmill. The ones over 28-30” do hit the relief on the loader

Well winter seems to have resulted in a dead mower ( generally I use a flail, but do my edging w this)
Seems electrical

Ranger to the rescue and into the shop

Ugh - perhaps a mouse snacked on a wire. Good luck getting it up and running.

I feel your pain. The beginning of mowing season is also the beginning of fixing the mower season!!!

It randomly cut off after 5 min of mowing

fuel flow was good, seemed electrical
Would restart instantly

after 3 x in 100 yards, lost the click of the solenoid on starter

Hammer brought that back and starter would now “click”

jumpbox didn’t prove that it was a weak battery so into the shop

So, at least a starter issue for one and then something preceding that causing it to die. It seemed “coil like” but coil

ugh, I hate black magic electricity

I can get it going again I’ll put one of the spark tester’s on it and see what kind of spark I’m getting on a dies

Mine is currently blowing 20 amp fuses while mowing. I can get half an hour, or sometimes a full hour before blowing a fuse. I put in another fuse and it lasts about the same amount of time. I carry half a dozen of them in my shirt pocket every time I mow!!!

Ack!

I’m not sure if I wish I had your problem or my random one lol
