    I cannot wait to get this 562 up and running. You bet I'm gonna run a tank or two through it too. As long as Chvyman is OK with it that is.... ;)

    Broke some wind yesterday. Had ill effects on a coworker, and it ended up taking some paint off of the east side of the building, but other than that no harm done. :rofl: :lol:

    Finally got the Tyrex fixed yesterday (just an update on what I broke)..
    Installation of the new belt was a PITA! !

    Buts it's done, and I put it to work for a little bit yesterday.

    Occasionally a saw loses a fight with a tree and in this case, this was one of the consequences.

    Yeah, bit of a stupidity attack. Went to throw something pretty hard kinda over my shoulder while sitting on the tractor. Forgot the roll over bar was there and whacked the back of my hand pretty hard. Still doesn't feel too good.

    Hope you like it. I bought a self propelled. Gave it to my son in law. It went too fast for me. Thought I would have a heart attack trying to use it. He has used it for years, but then he is a jogger.

    Trimmer is fixed. Not easy finding the proper arbor bolt but I did.

    This fix was 2+ months in waiting. Backed into a tight spot with the tractor and did a little too much pushing.

    Had to cut it off but bolted the new one on... Not that I'll ever do that again.:emb:

    This means I am due to break something soon.

    The blowers have died in the 7210. Who'd have thunk you'd have to take the cab halfway apart to change them.:hair:

    I haven't had to much trouble (yet) with dismantling dashes on tractors. You have to pull the seat to get to these.:mad: Oh how much nicer it is to work on the old ones.
