Winter Project

[cheesy]

A few years back I wrote that I would chronicle, more or less, the rebuilding of an old Toro 910 riding mower. That time is now. Btw, Mrs. C pointed out that the tires are flat, but not on the bottom.

The backstory is that we got this from my sister when she moved from Wisconsin to Wyoming. We've had the little poop for close to twenty years and I think it has been parked outside for almost seventeen due to a broken clutch spring. Actually a belt tensioner spring that I could probably find at TSC for $1.29. It also had what my sister called a 'built in beer break'. Three quarters through a lawn mowing it would just quit and you could separate shoulder trying to get it restarted, unless you took that 15 minute break. Then it would start on the first pull. So, either a failing coil or condenser. It's getting an electronic ignition upgrade anyway.

Anywho, Mrs. C is uncomfortable running the Deere D120. It's too big and scary. So, she wants this one fixed and she'll mow when I'm away, once she has retired(Jan. 8, 2016).

It's in the garage now, awaiting my return from an extended work trip to LA.


I plan to get a lot more done in the garage over the winter because I finally broke down and bought one of these.
