Supposed to rain Saturday. Looks like my new suspension has been delayed another week. The good news, the replacement feels nice and tight. I suppose this is a good thing... I dropped one of the nuts attached to a bolt on the lever shock and can't find it.
I tried to find a suitable replacement at the hardware store and didn't have any luck. I finally broke down and called NOS Parts who rebuilds them. I got called out for losing it, but he did tell me replacement nuts and bolts are 3/8x24. Ain't my fault my driveway is the same color as 40-year-old nuts and screws. Besides, those things bounce when you drop them.
Magnet fishing is my favorite sport. I almost bought one of the ones the roofers use a few years back but I generally just use one of the extension type or tie a string on one I found years ago and drag it around. I even went so far as to use a blue tarp on one job I did in the back yard.
We have had beautiful weather today so I replace all three belts on the lawn tractor along with the blade. Ended up by putting on a smoke show as soon as I engaged the blade. Opps, the belt runs
insidethe keeper.
Damn belts are expensive, close to $100 for the three of them.
