    • @studiy0702
      @studiy0702 19 днів тому

      Yes get it a 110 power source like an extension Cord cut off and temp wire it in. Then go to store and get a cheap thermostat then I can send you more detail pictures of how I did mine and a roll of thermostat wire prolly could do it all for less then 50 buck and it’s worth the test if it runs Bec they are nice once installed

    Why use 2x6 instead of 2x4?

    • @studiy0702
      @studiy0702 2 місяці тому

      Because the steel beam that the wall is under is the same with as 2x6 so I made sense to use that material. Also when I got to install the wall sheeting it comes nice and flush on both sides to the beam. You won’t see the beam after it’s sheeted and I don’t have to fur anything out this way. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for the comment bud

      I like tapcons I feel they hold the plate better for interior concrete. And also the beam shouldn’t move it’s locked in hard at both ends. I sheeted the other side of the wall with OSB so it’s solid. Im going to mount all my boiler piping to it so I don’t want it to move at all.

      @@studiy0702 Actually the Honda lawn mower is even better than side discharge because by leaving the selector to bag instead of mulch, it will discharge clippings from the back. that is what I use always: No bagging the cut grass, and no mulching... I deduce that mulching will stress the engine (especially wet grass), burn more gas, and will probably shorten the life of the mower. LOL

I would agree with you and say it’s a coincidence and if you take care of your mower and he doesn’t that will lead to more issues also if he bought a lemon from the factory that could be a problem.

      Thee 1025r is thee most popular tractor we sold back when I worked for john deere. I wouldn't recommend trading it in for 1025r though. The reason for this for me is thee amount of maintenance points to grease. You can get a tiller for that model. The tractor you have now only has 3 points of grease. 2 I think on the mower deck and 1 in the front bottom hidden away. You already have the best tractor, but I do understand thee 1025r does have alot more features.

      Yes I agree it would be nice to have a detachable loader with it as well as long as having a 3 point attachment. Because a plow for the loader is sweet back when I had my 2025. Also get everything in one shot factory made and not have to worry about aftermarket or adding options to my 758. Idk lots of thinking to do before pulling the trigger.

    Wrong tires, turf's are worthless! Deck is also pushing dirt.

      @studiy0702 6 місяців тому

      Yes but they’re not the standard turf tires in my opinion. There alittle more aggressive, but I don’t really need bar tires for it. Yes after is was don’t with the project definitely should have taken the deck off before starting! But HEY it’s a learning opportunity for all that have watched the video.

    I also have a x758 and love it. Have you found an innovative way to raise the deck up vertically for cleaning? I use to just be able to lift the front and raise it but as I get older that is becoming to much strain on the back. That deck is very heavy!

    • @studiy0702
      @studiy0702 6 місяців тому

      Yes in my shop I mounted a stick of 1”5/8unistrut to the ceiling, bought a cheap harbor freight electric winch. And some electric winch rollers off Amazon and mounted, I feel comfortable lifting 2-3 hundred pounds. Plugged it right into the garage door opener outlet. One the deck is off the mower you can wrap a strap around the front mower wheels and pick up the front to support it vertically. I don’t lift the deck off the ground but it’s safe enough to hold it up and change blades or clean deck, I have a a video of cleaning the deck using the winch so you can go check that out if you would like for more details.

    What was that mower belt looking thing on top of the dirt pile, just before video ends? The setup reminds me of my 20+ yr old non-hydraulic GT235 with 48" plow. I moved a lot of dirt with it, just like you are doing. Also manure piles from horses. Only the 54" mower deck has to come off, before plow goes on. Now have a 1025r, with loader, etc. I know you had a 2520 with loader. The garden tractor and heavy duty plow can do a lot for a homeowner. Including lots of snow removal. A loader is nice, but typically somewhere from doubles to quadruples the cost of the tractor/toy 😂

    • @studiy0702
      @studiy0702 7 місяців тому

      The rubber belt was just the junk dirt my neighbor delivered from his farm and had rubber belt it the pile.. yes a 1025r with loader and mower deck would be great for landscaping and pushing snow. But at the time all I need was the mower. Because I still had the 2520. Then sold that. Now definitely wanting a small loader tractor back again.. definitely an expensive toy. The only big plus for me is transporting material from one spot to another, a plow is hard to do that without getting it all over the yard. Just have to get the wife to sign off. Maybe one day you will see a new loader tractor on the channel. Fingers crossed. Thanks for leaving a comment. It’s nice to hear other guys have done the same type of things. Appreciate it.
