Yes that's always a pain was just thinking maybe the P.O. had it and the arm and just never bothered installing it and forgot he had it when it was picked up

Yep, worth asking, might save a few hundred bucks, I wasn't that lucky.

Brochures are always cool to get its neat seeing the machines in new condition being worked. Plus old photographs are just cool.

Hmm the pic with the hydro tilt MCS shows 9 suitcases on the front! WOW! I only run 5.. but I feel the 455 is ok with that. It's definitely too light without any on the front. Might need to get the front weight bracket, but then I'll have 380# on the front.. I wonder, will that be too much for my lawn?.. maybe.. I've got an area that holds the water a little.

Cleaned the yard... 6.5 bushel bagger was emptied 3 times (6 bags total) to fill the 18 cart. I was going to see how many for the 8 cart (poly) but decided not to waste time.

Yard clean up is done
Now to prep the blower and get the loader ready for snow play....

Yo dude... looking at all those trees in the back ground, once all those leaves all come down, you aren't anywhere near done with yard work! LOL! HA!

We had 2 nor'easters, 3rd one coming since my last post.

Photo 1 was just too good to miss...

Photo 2 3 4 are my tooth bar. It was 1.5" too short. I didn't want to cut it sp I spaced it with a hockey puck. I have about 50 or so laying around so if it fails I can try it again

Last 2 are of my radio flyer little wheel barrow. Ftwingriders is redoing the handles for me. I'll toss some new hardware on them, new wheel and done.

Finally had a little time today. In the past week I have been working on a 5 lug swap for the 455

1 set of x748 hubs
2 sets of cub hubs
1 new set of se wheels
1 set of standard x5 wheels with new tires

Also finished that wheel barrel

Well you've been busy with a few projects! Did you get a chance to see what pressure you have in the hydraulic system now? Also the wheelbarrow looks good but you're going to be worn out moving dirt with that! :sidelaugh

To be completely honest, shim it up to at least 1350 to 1400. It makes it SO much more useable. TT says 1502 is max pressure, a few guys are running 1500 with no issues. I was always hesitant to go that high, but even at 1300 I was less than impressed.
