Not a problem at all I appreciate the advice. I had similar worries while assembling it.

I actually decided on leaving the stack as the weak point. It just spins onto the threads for the right angle connection and is able to be broken away with a little force.

Originally I had a few brackets purchased and some utility wire as well, but I didn't use any of it for the same reasons you point out.

I'll try to make a video today if I can

Video of it running. Accidentally covered the camera with my finger for a few seconds but I realized it and stopped. Sorry.

Looks like the new cheapo deck wheels are starting to dislike my concrete. Not bad for $11 they made it a few mows.

 

Brian do you have the replacement wheels on your site or can you link me? I'll buy them.

Ordered some deck wheels from Brian.

Worked on a quick release bracket for holding the exhaust stack better. I'll get pics once I am happy with it.

Wheels arrived, they look really nice. Tossing those on tonight and I'll get a few pics

[AcidTonic]

Wheels are nice. No issues yet they seem tough. Been busy with life. Will get more photos soon.

I have my soft cab and it's in decent shape. Just no idea how to install it or where to drill. Is there a manual just for the soft cab install?

Picked up a snow thrower. Curious if it's a common problem with the output chute being stuck in place? It looks like the gears want to turn but it doesn't want to move. it's not a really big deal but it's aimed directly back at the mower

probably needs to be freed up
