You need to keep a pile of junk sleds in the back yard😃 My old 1650 did the same thing, robbed the end of an old El Tiger 440 and was back in business in 10 min.

Just wondering aloud here but I do happen to recall seeing spherical rod ends that were rebuildable. Circlips hold the guts in; when the nylon or delrin cups wear or the play gets sloppy, out comes the clip, out comes the guts, in goes the kit and another clip and back to business. They do exist for the off roaders, just not so big.

Convert these two from summer use to winter duty. I haven't done this for several years because our winters have been mild.
The mower decks need service and might as well put their winter attachments to some use if I can.
By the colors it's obvious what goes with what. I mostly want the corner of my garage cleared out. I'm going to re-arrange my garage some and other things will utilize that space.

That Cub sure is sweet. I know the Wheelhorses have a sizeable following, I don't have any experience with them though.
They are both hand-me-downs from my grand father. I have all the books and paperwork from him. Even the purchase receipt on the wheel horse when he bought it new in 1987.
I don't like the hydrostatic setup on the cub. The wheel horse gets used most.
So my son stopped over today to switch his truck back for his car. He is driving steady night shift, so I offered to get tires on his car since I'm off now and have the time. We got to BS'n and catching up so I didn't get done what I wanted to.
I hate taking the deck off of the cub anyways, so I'm going to drag the blade outside and maybe do it another day.
Man I forgot how much fun the snow blower is when it's on the wheel horse.
Granted it's barely enough snow for it to pick up, but it was fun going through the yard.

Unknown brand. Found it for sale in a gated community where the kid couldn't keep it. My son paid $35 for it as a kinda bday present for me. We swapped out the spindles that had been extended and were snapped. Made a new pvc instead of steel snorkel, mud flaps, rewired, etc. It was popping wheelies and was a fun little project that we ended selling to a guy for $150 who was shipping it to his farm in central America.

Stumbled across this pile on FB marketplace and just couldn't say no. Why do I do this to myself? 61" Ferris zero turn with suspension. 25hp Kawasaki motor, which is blown up. Mowed and moved, until it didn't. LOL going to see if I can salvage the motor. Somehow the bore appears fine at first inspection. Literally no piston left in it, just the rod and wrist pin. Took the same head out as well. $450 for the whole unit. Hoping to get it fixed and running for a total of 1k including buying it.
