TODAYS SEAT TIME

[tacticalturnip]

Cleaned up leaves that had been pulled out of the drainage.

Mowed a pasture for the neighbor lady. The mower found an old T post, a kitchen knife, and a 1/2" PVC riser .
Finally found the right water shut off and fixed the pipe before I left.

How did you notice the kitchen knife? Nice of you to fix the pipe for her.

Man, the things I've found while mowing, lol.

My brand new Z-turn, first time out and I found the missing coulter off my two bottom plow.
That was a $300.oo repair and free haulage back to the seller. Bent a spindle.

After pushing over a weeping willow and digging it out, I noticed a big trail of hydraulic fluid from the old 550 Ford TLB. Checked the rear axle and was low almost 3 gallons. Filled back up and parked it putting cardboard underneath. O OH ripped brake rod seal.
Luckily I had another one ( changed the other side over a year back) so drained about 4 gallons out and replaced the rubber bellows.
Strained the oil back in and needed Another 3 gallons... That should take care of the rear axle.

Did some leveling of the field road and The old beasts drive is quieter, with a full sump.

ps. Next up backwoods Mod of adding a 12Volt pump powered hydraulic
dual acting cylinder for the at the moment fixed thumb backhoe...

no seat time lately, just staring at taxes and spreadsheets

I've already gotten not only my taxes done but the refund spent.

The broken stainless blade was shining in the sun so I stopped and picked it up...was glad it didn't poke into my tire !
I recall a time when I mowed over a pile of bailing twine... it took me forever to cut it all out of the flail mower

Cutting it out is torture, but a propane torch makes the job quick and easy... Been there and done that!

I envisioned the mower picking the knife up and flinging it. Either way, it would have been ugly.

I once ran over a length of chicken wire with my pickup, wrapping it up in the drive shaft. That was bad enough to dig out.

Did the exact same thing scootr . . . happened about fifteen years ago and your right it takes like forever to cut it out.

I ran out of expletives ~ mostly directed at the previous owner who left the trap in the overgrown weeds.

Heh Heh that is in the same fun category as winding it up on a large 3 point tiller while you are mixing in Horse manure while making some planting soil.
Time to run the pressure washer for 1/2 an hour before even thinking about removing it.
Unfamiliar field mowing I managed to find 4x4s which the mower broke into multiple pieces, large cinder blocks and half buried car tires. I think the cinder blocks were the worst, made the biggest racket and added lots of raised dents in the mower housing.

When you are mowing 5 ft weeds and you find a 4ft T post @!#%*
I hate new fields. lol

Trying to consolidate some implements.
Moved the old disc over with the inverted snow blower and spike harrow.

Then decided to weld up a hole that was punched into the bucket.

I use a 5 lb hammer to fix a bent spindle. Hidden
rocks sticking up in high grass will surely do a number
on a spindle

2 questions; (1) do you have a gravel driveway and (2)will those discs split?
