Handy Don 16,155 #25701 Posted Sunday at 10:34 PM (edited) The 854 got a spiffy new set of adjustable tie rods commissioned from @ri702bill. Beautiful craftsmanship! Much improved steering now that the toe-out has been corrected. When giving it a test ride, I discovered that the tractor's left turn radius is a few inches tighter than its right turn radius when the spindle arms are hitting their respective stops. Only quirk is that the ball ends that I sourced have SAE threading on both the male and female parts, but the flats are metric! The shaft flats are SAE because Bill turned them from SAE hex stock.

Looks like some of my tall fescue. We don't have any rain in the 10 day forecast here in NC so consider yourself lucky! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then my well water started to grow some slimy snot.. After about three years of shock treating that only worked for about 3 months, I contacted Penn State and was informed the weed and feed was probably leaching into the well and causing the growth. I stopped the weed and feed and the well has tested good for several years. I have weeds and bare spots, but the water is good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, so long as it's all the same color when cut the same length, it's good enough for me. Edited 2 hours ago by kpinnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
