Last post by Magicman - Today at 04:24:18 PMSounds like you are sawing until they are dull before pulling them. The back thrust stress on dull blades is a blade killer regardless of the thickness or width.
There is a difference between not sharp and dull.

Last post by KenMac - Today at 03:43:07 PMI use 1 1/2 by .055 blades on 26" wheels and only get 2 or 3 sharpenings before stress cracks form and the blade starts moving in and out on the guides. Hopefully, I notice this before it breaks.

Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 03:37:05 PMBeen fiddleheads up here, but we are done getting fresh ones for this year. Froze a bunch. Some we bought and some cousins brought in last weekend.
We like asparagus, but don't grow any. Used to.
We've had some garden parsnip. A lot were all crown, but some had a nice tap root on them. Wet year.

Last post by thecfarm - Today at 03:15:20 PMWhat woodroe said, except for the wood part.
Just got the plastic on for the greenhouse. Was just started to rain when we started. By the time we was done, it was really raining. Only got a little wet.

Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 03:12:53 PMYes, we've been eating rhubarb here this week. The firewood for the house I got done this afternoon, there's 8-1/2 cords for this winter. I have a little more than 2 cords left for the shop. 
72°F currently, cloudy with peeks of sun now and again. Great day. No black flies around at all. A cloudy day is usually black fly weather.

Last post by Bruno of NH - Today at 12:53:00 PMThanks for all the advise
It was the connections to both seat switches the one in the seat cushion and under the seat base.
The tractor is 17 years old when I got it just over 250 hours. It sat outside with the seat up most of that time. The sun broke down the wires at where they enter the connection. They had started to split in half. Some new connections with heat shrink took care of it. The old fuel filter I took out was very dirty. It's running great right now. I have 3 fuel filters on the shelve with other maintenance items for it now.
It's almost June summers half over and I got lots to do.
