Not So Pro 3

Just pulled the deck off the cub cadet to replace the blades. New blades didn't have the same center hole pattern. So i sharpened the original ones and put them back on. Slacking in progress now.

Where did the blades come from?

I just found out what a ram horn muffler is for a chainsaw.

Wow.

The Amazon. The blades i bought have the star hole. I need ones with a "S" shaped hole.

Worst one I’ve seen! I’ll get a picture of what’s left of the pinion tomorrow.

Not quite as graphic as VPs, but this Cummins came back from internal reman and promptly made a noise.
I wasn't there for all the teardown but I know the timing cover holes shouldn't be sheared off or elongated, the idler bolts should be one piece, not two, and the inspection cover shouldn't really be holding the idler pulley in...

A larger hole will help with oil change

Good morning men, more thunderstorms and rain overnight. Wish I was keeping track. Hay is going to look like bamboo before I get a chance to cut it. @dall needs to come back. Something something slackers!

Good morning folks. Rains been missing here for the most part, but now maybe some in the next 24. 45f/74f for the daily guesstimate.

Hopefully no rain today. Jaxon has another baseball game tonight.

Good morning fellas. Finished up the log landing yesterday. Today I get back to dirt work - first installing a pipe for a new diversion dam we gotta build.

What is the cause of the failure? Was the driver under 20 years old? In my youth - have broken u-joints till they were upgraded. Then several times scattered the rear end all over the highway in a built 66 Mustang. But that was abuse, full power, power shifting first to second. And not enough money to upgrade the rear ends.
