mowin

This was in Old Chatham in Columbia county. I don't blame you for doubting any sighting. I did, probably still will depending on who it is. Some people I like so much, that I wouldn't believe them if they can inside and said the sky is blue. Then I got friends that I'd believe them if they said they seen a woolly mammoth. Unfortunately, the only people I know of that claimed to see a lion I don't believe them for a second.

I was in the same thought process as you. Hundreds of acres hunted by several guys for yrs. Never a sighting of a Mt lion. Many so call sighting around the region. Last June I pulled into a clients drive to mow the lawn. What was standing in the driveway? Yep a Mt lion. Couldn't believe my eyes. I fumbled for my phone, but he/she calmly walked into the brush before I could snap a pic. I've hunted this property for several years, and had a trail cam only 75 yrds from where I spotted the cat, but no pic. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'd be sceptical.

I would have said, "shows how smart you are, wheelchairs have four wheels..

That clarifies things. Reverse switch is sounding like the culprit.

I with you on this one. Kinda, But, there's always a but..lol, those I've seen when the blades are engaged, and you shift into reverse, the deck cuts out, not the motor. Can't believe they would make a mower that the engine would stall out when blades are engaged and you put it in reverse, but hey, there's some really stupid people in this world that shouldn't even get on a mower, lol Very curious to hear the outcome.

It's definitely a safety switch. Mower thinks it's going into reverse, or thinks know one is in the seat. To eliminate the seat switch, plug it back in, then try it. Switch may be internal inside the tranny, but there's got to be some plug, wires going to it or a switch/sensor somewhere. There's someway to override the reverse safety. Some have a 3rd position in the key switch, if its there, it could be that key switch. If its not ,I'd start unplugging everything except the ignition, headlights, ECT. I highly doubt it's the battery. I'd bet it has a gravity feed fuel system, of vacuum fuel pump, that doesn't take any power. But to eliminate that, leave the jumper cables hooked up while engaging blades.

Hope you guys enjoyed the show. Seen Tom Petty 5 times in the 80's at SPAC. Rained every time except the last, I had stadium seats then, lol.

I agree with this guy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/06/28/a-council-members-solution-to-his-ohio-towns-overdose-problem-let-addicts-die/?utm_term=.9eea6c1bbbef

I get what your saying, but when do we stop? Do we keep saving someone who doesn't want to be saved? Use that money to help our military personnel deal with PTSD. Or help the elderly pay for their meds so they don't have to skip a dose. Someone who keeps going into rehab, only to go back to the needle time after time doesn't deserve to be saved over and over. Somewhere, the line has to be drawn, where that line ends up, know one knows. However, giving narcan out to every overdose isn't working.

I have been through watching someone I cared deeply for struggle with this crap. 3 strikes and your on your own sounds cruel, but why should I have to pay for someone's addiction. Because that's pretty much all narcan does, saves there ass until they can get ahold of there next dose.

I like the "3 strikes your out" deal. We'll give you narcan 3 times. If you choose to continue and not get help, your on your own. I don't think it's right that I have to pay over and over to the same people to save there asses. Narcan isn't cheap, our taxes are paying for this stuff. And before you if I knew someone who's gone through this, I'd think differently, you'd be wrong. I've see the destruction, pain this cause the person and their families. Sorry but it is a choice. You choose to continue, no more narcan.

Many prayers sent for a speedy and Full recovery.

Check to see what the engage lever actually moves. If it's basically tightens the belt to engage the deck, then the transmission clutch is a separate unit.

Ok are u positive this model is a lever engage deck? a lever engage doesn't have clutch bearings as there's no clutch. Most just tighten up the drive belt to the deck pully. Try keeping the jumper cables hooked up and then try the engage lever.

That idiot got what he deserves. Gator gave him a warning, he didn't listen.

I've seen several single fawns so far, but no twins yet.

If that was some normal Joe, I'd agree. But to even get anywhere close to hitting his Target at that distance is far from pure luck.

Little clarification. When you say the mower cuts out when trying to engage the blades, your meaning the engine? Or the blades try/start to turn, but the deck shuts down and engine keeps running? If the engine shuts down, I'm leaning towards seat switch. I know you said it's jumped, but try plugging it back in and see what happens.

Oh man. Where do I start. Numerous blinds, not the hub style. I could get them open, but folding them back up was a instant America funniest home video winner. Someone mention those boil hand warmers. Yep those were awful. The first carbon arrows. Had these long aluminum point adapter that slid over the shaft. Shoot into a new Makenzie Target, and those dam point adapter would bend. They were epoxyed on. Bushnell range finder. Lasted two weeks. Bushnell said I abused it. Not a scratch on it, but I guess leaving it in it's case was concerned abuse. Never purchased anything Bushnell since, and that was probably 20 yrs ago. I know there's more, but I think my subconscious has blocked them from my memory.

Ok, so disregard my previous post since JK did his homework and this model has a engage lever not a electric PTO. So I agree with him that there's a switch under the seat or the reverse switch that's bad. Seat sould be easy to test. Start mower and get off. If it stalls, switch is working. That mower shuts the deck off once the gear shift is put in reverse. Some mowers there's a way to override that system. On my brothers craftsman, you had to turn the key further to keep the deck on while backing up.

Absolutely. The key is water. I overseed lawns all summer as long as my client is willing to water the area properly. And there well doesn't go dry. Lol. Make sure the seed has good contact with the soil. Rake the area good and roll the area after seeding to ensure good seed to soil contact. Some starter fertlizer would be great too. If you haven't applied any weed and feed type fertilizer recently, your good to go. If you have, the stronger fert may burn the seed.

If it's a electric PTO, it could be the PTO switch. Had mine go south a few times over the years. Mower runs great, hit the switch, and nothing happens...

And I will..

I make hundreds of pounds of sausage every yr. I've never, nor have I ever heard or read, until now, to let natural casings soak for 5 days. Not saying it won't work, but totally unnecessary. A hr or so and change the water once or twice is all that's needed.
