Green Jeans Greenhouse Outdoor Adventure

Whaaaaat?? No Motersicles or centapeeds???? And I hardly ever do a plan as it changes about 17 times thru the build depending on what piece of stuff I've been saving for 37 years just to build sumpin' !!!
Well, I gotta go - we got invited out for supper - but I gotta bring my own meat (I had to get clarification on that)!!!

bear?

Hey Fish - there is a 3" pulley on the engine - a 10' (I think) below and then the v-belt is loose but an idler pulley on a lever to tighten. That is controlled up front with another lever. Then 14 tooth - 36 tooth - 14 tooth - 36 tooth then on to the wheels - easy peazy!! But I did a lot of math!!! It goes thru normal belts pretty fast but I have a Kevlar on it now but I assume that the extra load of the wood will cause a lot of wear and tear!!

that is the way the power was transmitted on the old tiller my dad had when we were kids.

bear?

Yep - hope he is hibernating by now!!

Well, since I got no crops to tend - but a lot of weak weed to consume....I built this...

It doesn't do much in the snow but it should get a good workout in 5 months.

maybe you can build some wagons to drag with it... make moving the tubs ladies easier in the fall when the ladies are big and the nights are cold?

@Backlipslide

build some wagons

I actually have two wagons - one is an old laundry tub on wheels and the other is a 5' long wood carrier - I think if you look further back in the journal they are featured!!

I am super impressed with your riding lawn mower!
does it go to different heights? Or one height only?

 

[greenjeans]

So far just one height - I will fine tune that part when I get some grass to cut!! I think that once I get it set, it will stay there - I've hardly ever changed height on my other mowers.

I do remember seeing the long one, i bet that is where i got the idea from, just forgot where it came from.

going to hunt for the tub version.

ya gotta do a wheelie to change the height of the grass.

takes a skilled petal foot to do a good job, greenjeans demonstrating his skills! "Pro level +"

Yeah that’s very true! Once you find the right height it never changes! I really like your invention GJ!!
