You are so right!

Problem was that I’d brought only fixed-size wrenches out to the garage thinking “this’ll be a short job” so I needed an extra hike back down to the basement shop to get “the weapon.” Lesson learned.

Are these reversible or do you really need to stick with properly labeled orientation?

If you flip it over it's left handed!

I found a 7/8 ball that fits the hitch on the Commando.

 

Now I just need to fix the carb and I can use the tractor to move stuff.

Worked the 654 hard today. We've had tons of rain so far this spring. Have an 81yr old neighbor lady. Her landscape guy hasn't shown up to cut her lawn.  I told her I'd mow before the city cites her. We had rain this morning so it was very wet & muddy. Her grass was at least 6-8" tall.

I sanded this head for a K321 I am Rebuilding..not sure why so many people posts metioned glass and water..

I used a 12x12 new steel plate I had.

I'm going to guess more people would have glass or easy access to it vs a 12x12 piece of thick steel plate. Wet sanding clears the dust out of fine grit paper to prevent clogging

Got the 48 all hooked up had to buy a new belt. 42 takes 102"  48 takes 103"  Hard to believe it makes a difference...it does.  To wet to start mowing the paths.  I like the front mount as it  knocks some of the Tics down before they hit my leg   Already had one.. Going to need lots of DEET this year.  Did a short test may have to get a bigger horse the 48 put a load on the 14hp.

Nice set up. Can you please show a pic of the other side? Like to see belt routing. Thank you.

Rather productive day today. Broke the axle shaft free of the hub with my 12 ton hobo freight press. Pulled the trans out of the 10-8, new axle shaft came in today for the 10-8 trans now just need to get the time to split it and repair it. Had my new tri-rib tires mounted yesterday and today threw them on the C120 for now to see how I like them since they’re for the 10-8. Then plowed out my new garden bed with the C120. All in all it was a good day.

You have to dissemble the PTO... the back side belt goes outside the hoop.  Will take some tomorrow
