Well I've been playing with mowers a good bit lately. Figured I'd post some about my mowers. The first mower I took offroad I blew up the rear end in it and it sat for a while. Then someone gave me a mower that had carburetor problems. It was a 13.5 hp I think, but I didn't feel like dealing with it so I took the 12 off the mower I broke and threw it on this one. Here's how it sits now, I welded a bumper for it and filled the tires with windshield washer fluid
Then I had a snapper for a bit and fixed it then traded for 2 frames and 3 engines. Now I'm working on a 20 hp mower with 3 speed hi and lo range.

Took off both heads on the 20 hp and the valves are all loose, so I'm going to adjust them and do a valve job, then get new head gaskets (if I can find them) and hopefully she'll run!

Got the brake fixed on the 20 hp which I think I'll call tow mower or the tow pig.... I don't know which yet or maybe something completely different....

Tore the mower down even further and painted most of the parts. Hopefully I'll be putting it back together tomorrow and then doing the valves and then I'll just need head gaskets and it should be good.

Got it mostly back together. All that's left is a button for starting, head gaskets, battery, and tires and should be good as new.
