    Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering

    JD D110 started smoking a little the other day with 280 hours on it. Looks like I'll be doing a head gasket and adjusting the valves if needed. Appears to be a normal occurrence for these engines with 200+ hours.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got some cab corner 6x9 plates. I started to use the template that came with the speakers but the spacer was a better tool. Used small magnets to hold it so i could flip it over and center it better. Easier than tape.

    K10 Steering box output shaft moving in and out

    oh yeh.....no slop in the wheel currently. Just the loud pop I get when moving from the parked position. I've also sprayed white paint on the radiator support rivets and bumper bolts to look for movement. Sorry, a little history I didn't add.

    K10 Steering box output shaft moving in and out

    box will be tightened shortly. How much torque can u put on the "bolts/tabs" on the box before they break? I'd like to crank the hell outta them but don't want to break the tabs off.

    K10 Steering box output shaft moving in and out

    Anyone ever seen the output shaft move in and out of the box? Normal? I've got a popping sound when turning the wheel which we've concluded to the box moving on the frame a bit. Frame has had the frame/crack repair to it. But, the output shaft moving in/out 1/8th-1/4" inch grabbed our eyes...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    had the mufflers changed and a few leaks taken care of today. Man I miss my cheap guy. I found out why he was so cheap tho.....he's gone down hill health wise due to life choices. Anyway, world of difference with sound and throttle response (I think), we'll test it out more tomorrow.

    New front bumper and brackets

    gonna guess with an old frame who knows what shape its in. The bumper mounts are all "here and there" in different directions. I'd start with keep it loose and push/shove/pry where needed to make it fit. Obviously don't bend/flex ur bumper.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    got a rear painted bumper with dings (no rust) and what not for the hunting truck. Gonna drop it off tomorrow to have the lower corners cut out and have him weld in some corner steps like the newer vehicles. $85 delivered and guessing less than $150 for the cut/weld and a little metal. Make...

    REDS NECK REPARES!~

    Here in KY, most people that think like the original post, aren't driving their vehicle more than 5 miles a day and barely touch the throttle or brake. They also most likely don't have plates or insurance and are going out for the local/federal hand out.

    Don't think I shared the new washer fluid jug. Need to reconfigure the mount, but it's in there and functional. Went thru 3 plastic tanks....all cracked in the same spot.
