Looks like there's a mod on the table for the zero turn. I got talked to for sending grass into a few flowerbeds. John Deere does not offer a chute blocker as they offer the mulch on demand deck instead. Reviews on that were not very good so I stayed away. So looking aftermarket. Grass Flap is at the top right now but really struggling with getting the $300 out of my wallet................

Well, the prodigal son has returned. Maryann found him when she got home from work. The idiot had found his way behind some old fencing about 1.5' high in the woods behind the house and didn't realize he could go over or around it so he just sat there for 6 hours terrified. Damn fool....
Well, much like the Titan fuel tank for my truck that I ordered at an awesome pre-sale price then cancelled the day it was shipping, only to re-order and beg to get the price again... I decided that the Jeep did indeed need some help in the bass department. The upgraded HK system was VERY nice and one of the best factory systems I've come across. But, what I mistook for bass initially was all mid bass. So, listening to modern pop type music was 100% perfect as those songs are all mid. However, that's not the type of music I frequently listen too. More often it's country, rock, or retro 70's and 80's stuff. All of those genres had no punch at all. So, it was time to re-order the Stealthbox that I returned to Crutchfield earlier in the month. The price I got was hard to beat as JL had an OE 10% off promotion and retailers generally don't put them on sale without JL being the one to take the hit. However, I caught Sonic Electronix having a 15% off flash sale and ordered up. Beat my previous deal by $20 even after paying the return fee! After a brief delay due to a backorder, the second unit arrived on Wed. I installed it today. Took me about 4 hours and I don't think a shop could have done it any faster. I reused my amp from the X5. Now, I have the best system of any vehicle I've ever owned. Not just for volume or irritating the neighbors but rather, very full and dynamic. $600 well spent!
I just did a visual inspection this morning, and blew all the dust out of both clutches. No visible signs of wear while still assembled and still on the machine.
One of my riding partners has the same machine I have only about a year and a half old, 2000+ miles on it and still has the pucks. Don’t know what his secondary looks like though.
Rodney, what is this? Looks like some type of electric angle sander? I've been looking for something like that but haven't found anything. I can see it's Makita, but is there a model number?
Nice clean install, BTW! And good to hear Monty came back ok. I don't think our indoor cat would act much different outside.

It's one of my Makita GV5000 sanders from work. I use them for exterior sanding during house paint jobs. I think they are on to the model GV5010 now but I'm sure it's the same animal. I always used it with ceramic resin 36D discs. In the pic, I was showing I used it to grind off the plastic welds holding the two panels together.
