like I need more. I brought home two 900 series hydro/hydraulic lift rollers and a pair of 48" decks this week. My plan at the moment is to use a few parts from the one I've been running to resurect one and use the other to add power lift to a hybrid foot dragger I want to build. Maybe someday I'll be happy with the herd, but once I am I don't know what I'll do.





The rear one in the load is the cleaner of the two and will be the basis of my new mowing tractor. It started life as a 917 and big shock, the KT spit chunks. The frame is one greasy bugger! Looks like it will polish up decent. I think I need to get busy.

I would be sleeping in the dog house for the duration. My hobby can only survive by my being to hide the worst of it. There is previous little hiding places on a 1/4 acre lot.

Nice haul but have to say I'm glad it is following you home and not me.

I fear I will soon start looking like the girl in the Excorsist myself if I don't stop. At least the one won't take much to be ready, basically a bit of elbow grease and transfering a few parts over from the one I'm currently using. The other idea will be winter project, not sure WHAT winter though. Gotta snag them when I can, they don't grow on trees.

Can you turn you head around so you can keep an eye on your load?

Id like to see a closeup photo of the dealer tags on those two carcases..

Ditto! My boat engine is finally running again, gas tank in, interior almost back in, all but 5 wires back in and getting everything ready for a test run.... Then I have a new tractor toy, pictures soon. I have a lead on another tractor. House, kids, and other projects!

Phil, I'll take a closer shot of that dealer decal this weekend when I have time. I gave them a bath last weekend and I need to do a more thorough cleaning of the one that will live.

Phil, here is a pic of the dealer sticker on the 916. From what I've been told they closed the doors around the time of the green invasion.
