Chores

When I was out with the girls the other day it occurred to me that the grass is over knee height on the trails and the willows and other woody vegetation have begun to encroach upon our system of paths.

On Saturday I figured a terrific rainy day project would be to service the New Holland and perform the annual changing of the cutting blades on the Rhino bush hog.   This is one of the chores that involves jacks, blocks, grease gun, gear oil, very large tools and possible death by crushing.  Sometimes there is benign cussing.






Anyway, the mower is hitched to the tractor, all the fluids checked, joints greased, gear reservoir topped-off and blades swapped with knife-sharp replacements.  The former blades will go to the implement dealer for sharpening and balancing.

As soon as things dry-out let the brushing begin.....
