well the black AND the green mower are gone. a guy made me an offer i couldn't refuse lol.
the green one has some issues with the blades or the deck i'm not sure. it starting making some noises so i said the hell with it.
i got another one with a push mower for free. this one needs a belt so we'll see how this one is.
the push mower works fine.

well this one seems to be ok.
i adjusted the belt and it runs and moves fine.

i'm gonna sharpen the blade on the push mower and might go up and mow the track today.

lol ya the grass is getting pretty tall.
seeing i only had the push mower i didn't do the whole track side to side. but made a lane more than wide enough for us to run.
my truck hasn't been touched since the last time we were out there lol.
