Tips learned from using my son’s: lots of revs and, in the heavier going, slow down--it uses more energy than simply tossing the clippings aside. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 8,083 #24377 Posted Thursday at 05:01 PM When I bought my 416-H new, it optioned for the recycler deck as well. I think that they do a great job UNLESS the grass is tall or wet, then you can’t go 10 feet without it clogging up. I ended up taking the recycler off because I only had one deck. Now with multiple machines and decks I can dedicate the 416-8 with the recycler. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 8,083 #24378 Posted Thursday at 05:05 PM Got the deck all lubed up and put under the 416-8. Super quiet spindles, this was a really good purchase. The plow was used once the PO said, he preferred the blower, used the plow once and parked it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 8,083 #24379 Posted Thursday at 06:49 PM The little 310-8 is getting all the heavy duty parts. In addition to the HD front wheels and spindles, has a brand new set of 23-9.50x12 rear wheels and now a 42” RD deck. It’s growing up and so proud of her! 2 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to upgrade to a 15" soft touch steering wheel next. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually my bike has a larger seat than most with springs under it. There’s also a mini shock absorber with about an inch of travel in the seat-post to soak up the bumps. I’m at 229 miles so far this spring/summer 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan 312-8 187 #24395 Posted Saturday at 04:09 PM Great Wheel Horse day today! Had them all today to stretch their legs… Been awhile since the 520 ran, and I noticed some dirt in the bowels of the snowblower since last being used, that’s been bothering me for several months since I noticed it. Finally got the rear rock shaft assembly completed. I bought a rock shaft kit at the Big Show from Dale’s Mower Service in Kempton, put it together awhile ago and the ball pulled off the aftermarket cable that I got. Fortunately I am not that far from Dale’s shop, so I made the drive a couple of weeks ago and he swapped it out with a brand new out of the pack OEM cable, what a difference. I must have spent at least 45 minutes shooting the breeze with Dale. We’re definitely old school. Still working on getting the RJ running, the gas tank is about to get an internal restoration. Hope everyone is enjoying their day! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 73,160 #24396 Posted Saturday at 09:28 PM Got back fine with the above mentioned 520H. That's not running. I'll start a separate thread for that. While unstrapping there was a Jaxon sighting here... 1 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
