Evening Tim, Wayne and Preston. Some great pics per usual from you guys. That hole still looked like hard work to me. A lot of bending over and reaching down into the hole etc...
Not the last mow here yet. With so many huge Maple trees on the lawn, it takes a lot of mowing to blow them all away. Some of the trees are nearly bare but about 1/3 have most of their leases still. Very pretty time at any rate.

Merry Monday Washington and Crew.

Tim, Sorry to hear about your Brother and thoughts and Prayers to everyone.

Wayne, Nice job on the Flag Pole. Now you are an expert, come to WV and set my pole in the front yard! I would also say dealing with the Rattler was the easy part! LOL
Nice Picture of the sunset!

Preston, That is a nice picture of the Mountain!

Nicolas, I don't know about opening the door but that look says "Did you Fart, roll down the window!" Please! LOL
Those committing fraud will get it in the end I am sure.

Did my first brake job on the 4 post lift today, luckily I bought the big lift, boy was it ever a heavy load.






























This mower has a clutch and brake system, that when you release the lever the blade stops by the motor keeps running.


The old brake pad.


All cleaned up.


The new brake pad material, purchased from McMaster-Carr.


The new pad, cut, glued and riveted.





Mostly assembled, except the cover and blade.

That blade brake setup is pretty slick. I wasn't aware of that style before, that allows the engine to keep running. Nice job on the reline. That engine killing thing is the reason I defeated the one I used by having a ring to slip over the handle so it wouldn't stop the engine every time I let go of it. I'm sure I wasn't alone.

Good morning Crew!

Wayne, I think they consider that mower a commercial mower. My wife used to have her own business called "All In A Days Work" she did lawn care, house cleaning and miscellaneous light duty handy man type stuff. Anyway the pulleys on the clutch system were also wore out, I replaced thous at the same time. It operates almost like new now. Still starts on the first pull.

The lawn mower photos? I wonder if the photos were too Large, I will make them smaller and try again. Well, something isn't working right now. I can't even post a photo right now, maybe later.
