Moved some stuff out of the garage and took a sneak peak picture of a soon to be completed project:

very nice!  Could you tell me what type of seat that is?  Looking for a new seat for my 314-8.

Worked on my trailer yesterday. Bought it in 2019 and the powder coat immediately started peeling off just the fenders. So I scraped all the coating off, sanded primed and painted each one.

checked bearings today and had to snug them up some. Aired up the tires and lubed the moving parts of the hitch, jack, and gate.  Had to relocate the license plate because I stepped on the back of the trailer and the front came up, back went down and snapped my license plate holder off the taillight. 😡. Now it’s mounted to the ramp sans light. 
 

Today I had to mow, waited a bit for grass to dry. While I waited I changed the mower drive belt on my Timecutter HD.
There were 3 cracks in the old one that I noticed on spring maintenance.

Very easy to do, just needed my spring hook to release the tension spring. Now I don’t have a belt squeak when turning the pto on.  Tension spring has more tension on it too.

I got a seat from @76c12091520h a couple years ago at the Big Show and it was easy to modify to fit. Here's the link:

Just keep in mind that's technically incorrect, at least here in Maine & Massachusetts. The plate must be illuminated.

:confusion-shrug:          Headlights from the approaching patrol car will illuminate it.                 :law-policered:

I’m sure it is here in PA too. I don’t use the trailer at night, so I should be ok. I can wire up a new light if I see the need arise.

My seat mount is different than that. Maybe I could adapt an earlier seat mount and then use his seat?

Made another blackberry / rhubarb pie.     Much better than the strawberry / rhubarb.
