What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[Dmacleo]

no pics but yesterday used bucket to AGAIN lift the cub cadet deck up to address a belt issue and once corrected lifted my 2326 mid mount mower up to swap blades out so I can mow lawn again.
glad I keep one set of blades sharp and ready for swap, saves me lot of time. well worth the 140$ before tax I spent on second set of blades.
sigh about to start work on second cub cadet 46" deck.

As a throwback to the previous century, that's what she said.

weren't the 1980s to late 1990s a great time?

They sure as heck were! I graduated in '91, good times. I pictured the future as "the future", 21th century, with flying cars and everybody is logical like Spock. Instead, we got woketards riding around on e-scooters, unsure which sex they are lol!

But speaking of checking their holes...as far as checking the id thread on the transaxle, that's definitely a todo thing. In my case, yes I had stuff in there that I cleaned out best I could with my finger and then with a paper towel. I'm sure all that stuff was part of that knackered thread on the filter.

I left the scholastic endeavors in 1986 and went to Germany in Army. learning how to REALLY drive on autobahn was....lets just say...an experience. been over 200mph in an opel polezie supercharged v6 6speed manual.

Ha! Gen X was unique though coz we were the last generation to grow up w/o cellphones or internet.

Wow, I was stationed on Hanau Germany 1987 to 1990. Had the deisel chevy blazer...M1009 CUCV on the Autobahn at 91 mph. Shortly after there was an all stop on them because the tires would blow atv 55mph.

I did own and drive a 1982 Mercedez sedan but was too chicken to drive over 100mph with it.

I was there 86 to 88.

Won’t say how fast I drove what, but let’s just say too fast.

However, one day on the way back to Hanau I was driving a buddy’s car at least 100 mph and got passed by a car and it was going so fast I couldn’t even tell what color it was.

I visited Germany (and UK, NL, DK, S, SF) in 1967 on my dime, but spent my Army time in Japan. Now THERE was some challenging driving! Not as fast, but still very challenging. Some really neat little cars, though...

I was there for the introduction of the Honda CB750, the Datsun/Nissan Fairlady Z (240Z), Mazda rotary-powered cars (Cosmo & Familia; RX-7 was later), the first widely-available household microwaves, and the world's first mass-produced, hand-held digital calculator (only $250 then!). Interesting times.
