Don't forget to remove the float bowl and drain the carb also. Will do. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey Cecil, maybe you and I won't hold the UHOH record around here much longer.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I have almost put the tractor in the lake several times. Usually because the front tires slip on mud and wet grass and with no steering all you can do is brakes. Tractors don't stop on a dime. Had to tow them out of the mud right at the edge as a result.

Ken, I remember the 2nd pic, but not the first one! Why are the rear tires so smooth in the 2nd pic? I'll bet you said a few choice words in both of those pictures, and I'll also bet that the center of the seat in the first pic is a bit pointed in the middle from all the puckering.

I didn't put my riding mower in the pond but this was worse. I was bagging leaves with my mower when they bunched up around the hot muffler and the leaves caught fire. I run into the house and got a pan of water to throw on it but it didn't go out. So I went back for another pan of water but by then the fire was getting too big. Then the fire started to melt the plastic gas tank so I got the hect out of there. I went into the house to watch so I wouldn't be in a gas explosion, as the whole mower burned up in a big gasoline fire.

Yep..... I usually see a few mowers that burn up every fall. Gotta' watch when the leaves begin to roll up in front of the equipment, as that's usually where the muffler is located. most times, the fire happens after they shut the mower off and go inside....after a few minutes, it's a bonfire.
Trivia: leaves are suprisingly abrasive. I can always tell when someone has mulched their yard in late fall.....the underside of the deck will be scoured smooth, even shiny.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

I actually did something like that about 10-12 years ago, but with a smaller 4wd tractor than in the picture.
I decided to drain about a quarter acre pond on Labor Day weekend. The old pond probably had more than a foot of muck that needed to dry before I could work the pond. About the next February, the ground was pretty frozen. I put the box scraper on the tractor, thinking I could rip up some of the muck, and grade off the top of the old dam. The first 25_50 feet went perfectly. Then I broke through several inches of frozen muck. The tractor sunk up to the frame. That took a little bit of work to get freed.

Those who instinctively turn to prayer in matters of emergency should try to remember that the Deity will probably not consider "HOLY CRAP" to be a legitimate prayer.
