I am sooo sick of dragging the camp trailer and watercraft trailer by hand with a dolly.

So I've dragged home this POS lawn tractor, taken the mower deck off it, and am going to fit it with a 2" ball.

Looks like the mower Adam Sandler rode in the Waterboy!

Possibly! It is a 1990.  Got the muffler welded back together, bead plasted and repainted all the engine sheetmetal, replace the fuel and crankcase breather hoses, adjusted the carb and governor linkage and it sits and purs like a kitten.  Hobbs meter showing 1,156hrs! Wow!

I may get all crazy beadblast the fenders and hood and then break out the red paint rattle cans!  I better get a hitch on it first and do some pulling.

I set up an ol' rear engine snapper for the same task......first time out, I tried pulling hard...the nose went straight up (all the wieght in the back)...funny as heck...took off easy and it worked fine on the blacktop...no good in the grass

Yeah, I'm hoping this one has enough weight up front.  If not, I'll fill the tires front tires with anti-freeze and hang some weight on the front axle.  Hopefully it won't turn into that much work.
