Digger 66 3,476 #1 Posted May 22, 2019 Some of you know I did a little work to the Raider recently. I replaced the fuel lines and removed , stripped , fixed and painted the battery tray and removed the deck . With the very rainy spring we have had here , mowing opportunities have been few and far between . Yesterday was perfect . Got home from work a little early , fired up the zero-turn , went in the garage to close the doors and when I came out the Z/T was chugging black smoke , sputtering and running terrible . I pulled the carb and cleaned the sucker 3 times and each time I reinstalled it it would run fine , then start acting up as soon as the float bowl filled . By then it was late and time to shower , eat & turn in for the night . Today I got home from work just before the rain , managed to get the deck re-mounted on the Wheel Horse and after a little adjustment she roared to life . I cant describe the feeling I get when I do mow with this machine ( been about 4 years now since I did ). A big smile always accompanies the steady cluck , cluck , cluck of this "big single" torque monster called Kohler . Not to mention all the glances from the neighbors who seldom ( if ever ) do get a chance to see this machine . So , a sincere thanks and a hearty toast ( Arizona Sweet Tea no ice for me ) , to those responsible for creating this wonderful , seemingly timeless machine called Wheel Horse ! Thank you !!!!! -Gene 13 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an elder co-worker tell me one time.... that “All women are beautiful, just some more than others.” For some reason that statement up there reminded me of Bob! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
