Project is completed, need to adjust the clutch cable , grease all the zerks and get the reel sharpened.

So it took you right at 2 months to completely tear down and rebuild the entire mower? People like you amaze me! I have 0 mechanical ability so this project has been incredible to follow. Man that's so cool. I can't wait to see updates in the spring on how it mows. Great job.

thanks for the kind words, I have developed my mechanical skills over a lifetime, I probably couldn't have done this ten years ago as I have developed more patience. I'll have a lawn journal in the spring, I am going to level my yard with sand and start using my rebuilt toy.

I look forward to seeing it. It's especially nice that an Illini and a Hawkeye can interact maturely. I'm a big fan of Lovie Smith. I hope you guys get things turned around... just not enough to beat us.

The Illini football and basketball teams have been terrible for a long time, the basketball team was awesome under coach Self in 2004-05 and the football team has been bad for far longer. How long have you lived in TN? We moved down to Huntsville Al. For work in 2014 which really has worked out well for my wife and me, eventually we will retire to NC where we have bought some land.

I've been here over 20 years. I really like the area. My wife is from near here so she has a strong connection to it. North Carolina is beautiful. Not many states have beaches and mountains.
