Tom, The new yoke assembly I got from Bill Gun
has a softer tire on them. It seems to ride over stuff better. Order form Bill or
look around in a hardware store for casters. The wheels come in all sizes. You
might have to buy the caster just to get the wheel you need. Yes you can tip the deck up in reverse! We could call it a feature.
Dwight -----Original Message----- I noticed the same problem with going in reverse if
the deck catches a tree root the right way it will tip up. Any body have any mods for the front casters they seem
a bit hard for areas with lifted sidewalks or tree roots. It seems like a small
air tire would allow a little more give. tom At >>>> Agreed with the roll pin breaking, but mine broke off
where the inner sliding part joins the spherical (is that right?) bearing at
the mower end. I'm not too surprised at that, but what is a concern is the
mower deck tilting up so easily when in reverse. |
