I got a Deere! Been looking a long time. It needs some cosmetic work and a couple of mechanical things, but it is usable as is. The mower deck won't stay up and the brakes are almost non-existent. Also need a new seat and a new steering wheel. And an owners manual. Now to start cruisin' on Ebay.
No more pushing a mower, or hauling stuff in the wheel barrel. After I bought it I hiked on over to Harbor Freight and got a pair of ramps for my trailer and the little dump wagon.
The wagon doesn't look like much but it is quite ingeniously designed. Stronger than it appears. Took all morning to put together! Finally got the impact out with the socket driver. That made shorter work of the 70 or so screws, washers, and nuts.
Now I need to go buy a grease gun. I used to have one but it has found a really good place to hide. The only way I know to find it is to go buy another one! Funny how that works.
