What size john Deere you have.
It's an older JD with a 17hp Kawasaki motor and 48" deck. The expensive ones that are 5K new.
Not the crap china ones at home depot, etc...
I bought it used for $1200 but has kept the 8.5 acres we have trimmed nice.
I only fine cut around the house yards and then rough cut the rest once month or so.
This spot didn't fare well
Pig says WTF
Ouch
Awesome Chris.
I learned to drive in a willys jeep on 80 acres stuck between hwy 18, Raymond road, maddox and Mcdowell Rd. it is still not developed and has grown up from a pretty pasture to a scrub forrest.
Man I would give alot of money for one day of reliving those memories.

Got a used X500 with rear locking diff with 300 hours and full service for 2k.
damn, I bet that's a nice one! sounds crazy but I have stuck mine several times and a rear locker would have been real handy.

When i get i will post some pics. Small engine thread? I will look for it. A new one was 6k b4 tax.
Crystal skull
Took the boat mudding. This was last weekend .. I thought my yard was dry enough...8 o
Nope
Had to unhook the boat ..winch the 80 out , then use the winch to get the boat turned and out of its own ruts so i could hook it up to the hitch and pull it out. Some redneck engineering was involved to say the least.
Atleast the Kids loved the new yard attraction

I submerged it and this is my last thing that I have not "fixed"
I'm thinking it's water in the muffler
Exhaust is too hot
You think I filled the muffler with water? Nothing on the outside.
Or shorted the sensor
It was pretty unhappy being in 3' of standing water. I was doing good with a bow wave but it was getting progressively deeper so I had to stop and do a 180.
That reverse landed me no clutch in firstb all skippage. I revved it as high as I could, dropped it in granny and it caught.
Ran like s*** for a while. Pulled the air cleaner and it was soaked.
I let it all air dry, hosed the intake with Sea Foam and it's running normal now.
Got lucky. These trucks are tough as hell.

"Man is a tool-using animal. Weak in himself and of small stature, he stands on a basis of some half square foot, has to straddleout his legs lest the very winds supplant him. Neverless, he can use tools, devise tools; with these the granite mountain melts into light dust before him; seas are his smooth highway, wind and fire his unwearying steeds. Nowhere do you find him without tools. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all."
