Docwheelhorse 2,740 #1 Posted November 4, 2009 Greasing up 414-8 and adding 2 gallons of fresh 89 fuel---> $6 Calling in to work to pick up leaves with 42" deck and Vac Bagger--> FREE Running over kids jump rope in the leaves and having it wrap around all the spindles---> Again FREE ( even for free who wants it... lol) Shutting tractor off and removing deck in under 5 minutes via the TACH-A-MATIC system, then flipping it over and removing the jump rope and re-installing the deck and going back to work in another 5 minutes---> FREAKIN PRICELESS!!! God Bless the Tach-A-Matic Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chamjack 0 #4 Posted November 4, 2009 I can relate. I have three kids (5,7,8) and a yellow lab that drags out, into the yard, whatever they forget too! Good story. I thought it was just me that kind of stuff happens too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,394 #5 Posted November 4, 2009 Doc: This had to be one of the reasons Wheel Horse moved to the creation of the Attach-A-Matic. All those old gear driven mowers could really wrap around those old jump ropes! :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,071 #6 Posted November 4, 2009 Great story and even a better reminder as I have two little ones! So far so safe........it's only a matter of time until I ruin a "prized" possession! Glad that it wasn't any worse for you! :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Horse 33 #7 Posted November 4, 2009 Doc: This had to be one of the reasons Wheel Horse moved to the creation of the Attach-A-Matic. All those old gear driven mowers could really wrap around those old jump ropes! I agree. The worst offender for the gear driven decks?....... plastic bailing twine or 6 pack beverage holders.. Grrrrrrrrrr. LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollerman 290 #10 Posted November 5, 2009 I had a similiar thing happen with my dad. I set him up with an 85 310-8 a few years back since his new craftsman was breaking on him constantly. Anyways he called me at work to tell me he caught the dog chain in the deck & the tractor was stuck in the front yard. Took me about 10 minutes total to pull the deck, unwind the chain, check for damage, & reinstall it. We found my mom a new dog about a week later. .....kidding!
