I like mowing the lawn but I'm not biased I'll mow anything green that grows in the yard. I have an 06' Toro LX 425 42" riding mower that I got off Craigslist for $900 back in 2010. It was like new and had only 45 hours on it because the guys wife bought it for him and his yard was too small to justify using a riding mower. The guy said it didn't work very well but I figured out that the deck was not adjusted properly. Once I sorted the deck adjustment out it cuts nice and level.
I just got a new deck drive belt and guide wheels and before I got the parts installed the starter solenoid had a nuclear meltdown. The new solenoid will be here on Saturday but the grass keeps growing. Last year I installed new spindles on the deck but the Kohler 20hp single cylinder still runs great. The mower gets used year round, in the winter I pull a 10cf trailer hauling firewood to the house.
I really like this mower because it drives so well. It has quadrant steering so it drives more like a car than a piece of lawn equipment.

It's not warming up a whole lot here in S BC but the snow has been gone in the valleys since early Feb.  Yesterday I replaced the front tire on my Goldwing and am looking for first ride by April 1.  Sweetums has the springtime itch...had the edger out on Wednesday.  Swept all the gravel off the sidewalk into the street.  She was so busy outside that my supper was late!
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
