I like to hook my toe under the petal and lift it like a motorcycle shifter. For extended reversing i use my heel though. BTW My tractor is a BX2230 with the "Banana" HST petal.

Here's what I did for my BX2230. They work great.

Has anyone ever heard of a Hudson brand mower? This one (see link or my pic #9) has been in the family much longer than I have. I was told it was a 1957 model. (no, not the origional motor) It has a cast aluminum or magnesium deck. They definately don't build 'em like this any more!<br>
<br>
Just trying to do a bit of research to see if it is worth restoring to origional, if possible.<br>

Thanks

I have a 6hp, 30 gal, oilless. Not enough CFM for air grinders or DA sanders. Get a used industrial 2-stage.

Thanks everyone. You are begining to confirm my suspicions, that these traps may in fact collect SOME mosquitos, but they are not the wonder that they are advertized to be.

Are there any good "home brew" type insect repellants you've heard of, or should I just stay with the deet? The skeeters this year are nearly unbearable around here!!

Thank you for the kind words on the website. I just found out the hard way I only have 10 meg of space available, so I had to downsize many of the pictures. I hope they aren't too small now. I'd like to add more, so stay tuned.

Sorry, I should have been more spacific. My grass is cultivated grass, not rolled sod. The soil structure here is generally sand under the layer of topsoil (+/-6" topsoil) so it generally isn't that spongy. We too are getting biblical amounts of rain lately so the last statement isn't true currently, but usually it is.

My question boiled down to it's core would be: should I load the tires or us some type of counter weight on the 3pt? Not only would this be a question of mowing, but of the impact on snowblowing and box-blading too. (when Santa brings me a box blade!)

One more comment, the smoothness of the 3 cyllinder motors (18 and 22 hp) were also factors in my decision. I didn't like the vibration of the 15 hp twin.

I don't want to start the ROPS debate again, but here is how I put work lights on my BX2230. YOu could point one forward and one back.

There was a hot lead under the seat (2 actually) and I used this to power the relay and tail light lead to switch it.

Sorry for your troubles, Blue. We havn't had too much plastic breakage yet (2001 TDI Jetta, 50K miles) but I do agree some of the plastic pieces seem a bit on the chincy side of the quality curve. The fuel door was replaced under warranty, but the drivers inside door handle is now peeling and the warranty is gone, so I guess it will be time to pay up there. Our cup holder is hanging in there with surprisingly no breakage yet. (I thought it would be the first thing to go!)

Otherwise the 50MPG is savings enough to pay for some minor plastic issues in my oppinion.

The motor in my 2230 is smoother and QUIETER compared to my neighbor's 2200. Seat is nicer too. I have only used the cruise while "roading" so I see little use for it.

My website has a bunch of detail pics if you are interested. I did get the instructions posted for the grass catcher mounting procedure, but no pictures yet. Maybe in a couple days.

A bit of a sad string for me. The day I turned the maturity corner and was just catchig up with my Dad was the day he was killed. He crashed his Piper Archer in poor weather (similar circumstance to JFK Jr.). I have my Instrument Rating, so if I had been with on that trip...

I was comming home to ask his advise on the purchase of my first home.

I wish I had him back.

I could never entice any to live in the houses I put up. I guess if I am going to spend any quality time outside, I'm gonna have to get one of those LP Misquoto traps. Ughh, more money I don't have any more.
