Lowes called me and said my tractor was in
I drove to pick it up, and it was still in the crate. They apologized and said the assembler wouldn't be in until Monday. So I said that I'd assemble it.
They gave me a $10.00 coupon for assembling myself and loaded it onto my trailer with a forklift. I have an engine guard and a mulching kit ordered. They should be here in a couple of days. I brought it home and went to work. It took me longer to pry the crate apart than it did to assemble it.

I got my biggest walk-behind (52") in the crate. Paid 2/3 the price of the Velke rider to assemble the handlebars. $200 of a $300 accessory back then. It was a good deal.

I would just as soon assemble it myself and know the bolts are tightened properly.
The Hustler mower is made in the US, and so is the Kawasaki motor. |

I added an hourmeter. I had already bought it in advance. Hustler wanted $55.00 for an hourmeter. I bought this one from Amazon. It is a replacement meter for Husqvarna and Poulan. Cost me $18.00 and it snapped into the cutout perfectly. And the leads on the tractor plugged right into my new hourmeter.

We get three dry days and then next Saturday is back to showers. I just mowed yesterday with my old tractor. I'll probably be using my new one on Wednesday, and the grass will be quite tall. |

I have thought about a zero radius turn mower...but so.. far my Cub Lowboy with the 60" IR, finish deck is giving me good service. Wish I had got it with the IHC. 'Quick Hitch' on it instead of taking it off ass part of the deal at purchase. The attachments like a plow, discs, etc would have come in handy for putting in a Victory Garden. When I purchased it...I figured mowing was all it was going to be used for. Neighbor across street has a ) radius mower and he zips around pretty quick and is done in no-time. Hell, I do some of my better cogitating... while mowing... so time is not a big deal.
