looks nice! that has the 3spd Hi/Lo tranny in it right?
Grading the front drive today
No work today, on account of it raining all day yesterday. So, I decided to take advantage of the soft ground. I used 2 blocks to cut into the gravel, then took them off to smooth everything out. I have chains, but only got as far as thinking about putting them on. Wheel weights will go on my Christmas list.

Yes it does. I like the 6-speeds better than the automatics. I can mow in reverse with this one. The automatic that I just rebuilt shuts down if I try to shift into reverse when the blades are running.

i like a shifter too, kinda like cruise control, just lock it in, let out the clutch and go. nice set ups you have, both for mowing and yardwork

Looking at the landscape I think we may be somewhat close. I was doing the same thing yesterday,, Took the day off to work on my "Canal". During the rainy season ( Oct thru May ) Once it rains a few good times my back lot gets flooded all the way across see pic below.
Here is the lot flooded ( extreme after a heavy rain last year )

I want to dig a canal all the way across,, about 6 to 8' wide and 18 to 24 inches deep,, NOT to stop the flooding,, but to try to contain it to a narrower stream,, I will use the dirt dug out to build a dirt "bridge" from one side to the other to allow me to cross and mow the back lot..
work in progress, working through some hardpan here, but making better progress in the back ground

The only grading i do in the driveway at my house is in the snow

Though I did have to grade the side of the drive in the spring from all the mud :banghead3

I used the mid mount grader I had then (now I don't have it- traded for stuff I needed more)
Now I would use my rear grader or my dozer blade
