Lol, it was quite obvious when I removed the rim and seen the scoring on the inside, it wasn't contacting by much however.

Great News ! You found the problem ... Best of luck !

I just wish I could have got to drive it last fall before the weather got bad so I could have fixed some of these bugs over the winter months. I could have actually be putting miles on it now.

Not here. Rained most of the night. Lawns are too wet to power rake so the lawns that were already raked will be aerated.

Morning everyone!!!!
Had to reschedule quote. Darn rain held off all day for me but once I had ladder set up to go on roof......skies opened up. Darnit.
Feels good to be back at it full force workin again. Got the bowflex set up last night, made some calls to register for racing again this season. Can't imagine any podium spots this season cause the stamina level is currently 0%. Enthusiasm and motivation is 100% so that leaves a 50% chance
Hope you guys all have a safe work day, keep the rubberside down!!!

Looks like a mower. A true power rake has numerous thines that spin lifting thatch from lawn. Winnipeg lawn maintenance providers are idiots and use the power rake with the flail blades at a higher ground level setting. The flail blades are meant for lawn de-thatching not power raking. You would only de-thatch a lawn that is poorly and requires over seeding as de-thatching goes deeper into the soil. Home owners in Winnipeg has grown use to these companies providing the wrong service. Not sure if said companies do this out of ignorance or because they are too lazy to educate themself properly. Either way these companies sure make it simple for me to provide better service. Neighbours wonder why my clients lawns get rich and green first. Simple I tell them. I know what I'm doing, have proper equipment and provide superior service. Gotta love these lazy dumb prairie boys.
