It’s been a slow process since taking in the John Deere riding mower I got from Gerald when he passed away two years ago for repair. The Hairs mechanic said the spindles were bent and the deck needed welding, charging me $25 to put it back together.
I was almost ready to order a deck but it came to a grand.I put out a call for a deck or mower and a lady in High Springs said she had one I could have. So Roscoe and I rode down and with the help of a neighbor, loaded it.
Home I took the deck off hoping it would fit. I took it and Gerald’s LA115 to Hairs but they had just closed through Labor Day. So I came home and found the number to Art off Troy Road who I had called about a deck he had.
He didn’t think the deck would fit so I hauled it home and pushed it to the back. I then took off Gerald’s deck and ordered two spindles and reinforce rings.
Today after Labor Day I took the deck to Ethan at work who removed the seized spindle. I then took the deck to MCGuires Welding off Birley who said he would weld it.
So in a day or two hopefully I can get it fixed and take it to Art or Hairs to put back on the mower.
Long ordeal.
