Ed Kennell 35,603 #1 Posted February 26, 2018 Nope, we didn't get any snow and I haven't used the blower for 2 years. But the week long rains ended today so I got a few tractors out to charge the batteries. Then I noticed the roller and thought why not put them to work since they are already running. I got about 1/2 hour seat time on each one rolling the lawn. The turfs did great on the flats but I needed the chained up 520 for the steep areas. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After I picked her up last Fall. I stripped her for a pressure wash and after reassembly only had to clean the carb and add a battery to get her running. The Eaton 700 performed OK pulling the roller today. I have a 42" deck that I need to finish rebuilding. Then, this Spring, I can see if she is a keeper or if she is for sale. I'll be in touch. The 417 update....I hooked up another tractor to the PTO and drove the engine to check compression....about 70 PSI front and rear. Then pulled all the tins for a pressure wash and then pulled the front head and it looks OK. That's as far as I got with this one. I don't know if this one is a parts or rebuild yet. A family death in early Jan. and Mrs. Ks recent heart attack has kept me busy taking care of family. She will be getting a monitor with a live feed to the hospital next week. Then I may feel more comfortable leaving her alone and spending more time in the shop. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
