I thought it was an ice bucket.

2stroke is more the Champagne type whilst mowing


put new blades on mine, need to replace the 2 drive belts sometime soon, one belt is slipping when mid speed is selected, but ok in crawl and gallop.
I think I got ripped off, I paid $50 for mine 13hp 38" deck.
rebuilt the trans axle too, very easy thing to do, most of its bushes were well worn, replaced the axle seals too, and drilled out spots for grease nipples in the top input shaft, front area of g box near dog clutch and the end of each axle, should last for ever now

Now thats good thinking i may do that if i need to or when i rebuild it.

my mower deck gets such a hammering i dont bother too much about protective paint,, about once a year i give it a good wash degrease and will spray it multiple coats with any black rattle can.

A good can of zinc rust protector can cost $15+ buck so more often i find old spray paint cans at the tip in the used second oil section as paints are thrown out and a dozen cans find there way back home .

When mowing done i blow and clean deck of any grass left and spray it with cheapo brand WD type oil

I’ve always wondered what a body deadener type spray would be like for a mover deck for protection. Never tried it myself but if car manufacturers use it under mudguards etc then surely it will help protect a mower deck. Just a thought.

I’m not too excited to watch copious amounts of ads with a small snippet of motor racing in between. I remember when Bathurst used to be a very enjoyable day even when watching from home. It used to be a day to gather a few mates around for a bbq and a few beers to watch the race. Not anymore, it seems quite boring these days [emoji30]

Ive lost interest as well, the ads are crazy and the cars they don't even make any more.

I appreciate that there’s a whole lot of work put in to getting cars and teams ready for racing and the track volunteers do an amazing job to put on the show but it’s not the same as it used to be. The drivers still have a huge amount of talent to be able to do the job but it’s probably best to enjoy the show from the side of the track, tv has spoiled the entertainment in my opinion.
