turtlehead 88 #1 Posted May 25, 2015 Was setting up a 42" RD deck today on my 416-8. Trying to get full travel up when transporting. I had the deck wheels on the lowest setting. Lifted and "locked" deck in up position, or so I thought.Let me tell ya, that deck is heavy when it crashes down on concrete with only your middle and ring finger to stop it. I know everyone likes pics, but was a little occupied trying to stop the bleeding and not pass out.My broken toe doesn't hurt so bad now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 5,295 #6 Posted May 25, 2015 Ouch! I hope it will heal back to normal. I lost a middle finger to the first joint. Still hurts something awful when i bump the end. That was 38 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,439 #8 Posted May 25, 2015 Years ago I sold a snowblower for a D series. I had it on my tractor to demonstrate it worked correctly to the buyer....once he was satisfied we removed it. My fingers were under it when he undid the attachment point and it came down on my fingers!! OUCH!!Oh well....made good money. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
