Alfred looks like it might kick some butt One of the kids lives in Hervey Bay Cub is 12 years old , just give it a blow-over and wipe after each mow Oz

I would be gaining permission and monetary input because if they do not do something to alleviate a wash out the "right of way" will become a mini Grand Canyon after a decent rain

Ok , it looks like a new estate/development , I would fill the ditch with a heavy gravel about a metre/yard wide to stop wash away Large river pebbles would look nice That would solve a large part of your problem Oz

If not an Amen how about a "Hallelujah" Oz

A "Husky" boy Oz

I have one patch of small sticks and leaves that I mow last , they scour out any stuff stuck under the deck without doing any damage Deck wash no way Oz

I hear what you are saying but the Hydro-gear manual states that by using a full synthetic you double the change time I only use a regular oil in the engine As for the air filters , I reverse vacuum the air filter gently and wash and re-oil the pre-cleaner after every mow and as Skippydiesel...

I wash and re-oil my pre-cleaner after every mow , the book says 25 hours ,do not think so Oz

Shut it down at half throttle Oz

Just did the big service engine and hydro , oils , filters etc , ready for another lot of mowing With the rain and heat the area is turning tropical and the grass is growing so fast With all the rain now using anti-rust instead of personal deodorant Oz

No its the pot-holes that make it a slow route , plus the 50kmh entering The Oaks Reading that post about detergent oils made me think of the old Castrol slogan "Oils aint Oils" I use the Castrol Magnatec 10w40 in my Cub (Kohler motor) , Victa (B&S motor) Chipper again B&S motor without any...

What part of the Great South land are you located Oz (Southern Highlands area NSW)

I am also located in Oz and use a premium quality 10w/40 oil it covers the diverse range of climate/temperature that I have to mow in Been using that grade for over 20 years no problems yet !!!!! Oz

I have not read all your replies but what about this, this rim is leaking not the tyre , is it old rusty etc , if so that is where the air is slowly escaping Oz

What about your Hydro , when was that last serviced Take your old bearings and seals to a bearing supply company and they will match for you , I replaced my spindle bearings with Timkens Oz

The contact cement took about a quarter of the time to re-assemble in preference to the grease Also the grease can affect (soften) the barrels over time so they become ineffective Oz

good job , well done

Take off the fender pan and access is quite good , as I said clean but also oil/grease any moving bits you see It is a 2 person job and will take about 3 hours of slow but steady work Oz

Do not worry at all , use the 2 best barrel holders and the other as a spacer behind the engine end mounting point To hold the barrels in place just use a small spray of contact cement makes it dead easy to reassemble Put the flat face towards the rear , use a good brand of Loctite (bolt...
