Picked up an almost brand new D140 22 hp V twin hydro 48" high seat 4 deck wheels, etc. for $1500 with 19 hrs. on it. It now has a scuff on the hood from our enclosed trailer (insert mad face)

Congrats on the find. You'll be happy with that. Sorry to hear about the scuff, time for some elbow grease & polish, or you could slap a sticker over it, LOL, just kidding.-Mezz

I seriously thought about putting a sticker over it! Thankfully it didn't scratch down to the plastic, just scuffed the green paint a little. The locking tab on the inside of the doors to tie down your sled also hit the headlight and snapped one of the plastic tabs. To tell you the truth, it's just as strong without the little tab, it was a poor design. So far I've mowed 1 lawn with it, cut my time spent on the riding mower in half. It cuts really nice, runs and drives smooth, and is very comfortable. I got a new China Special trailer yesterday from Northern Tool also LOL $530 5x8 since it wouldn't fit on our 4x8. It has a wire mesh deck and big ramp on the back. It seems decent, and since its all steel if anything breaks I can just weld it back up.

Thought about taking one. I'm on spring break but it's not much of a break. I thankfully wasn't scheduled to work Tues-Fri but so far have been working on lawn mowers and finishing my sled every minute of the day i got. Still haven't found time to work on my truck like i wanted to. Next week wont find time either work tues/weds/fri and gotta find time to mow a few lawns AND have a parent meeting at a machine shop on thursday. Grr grr grr. Then my parents come home and say they have no time to do anything and ask why i havent washed the dishes! I mowed a "clients" lawn today, mowed my own lawn, cleaned all my equipment, put new deck belt and sharpened the blade on my old riding mower, put new deck belt, blades, and battery, and the complete tune up on a neighbor riding mower, put new blade on an extra mower i had, installed my new tool box on my truck, got the snowblower summerized and loaded, riding mower, push mower, dethatcher, and sled dolly loaded to take to my grandmas tomorrow, finally fogged my sled, and since I've eaten supper I got a buddys truck towed home and have been tearing it apart "attempting" to replace the fuel pump. Have the new pump in the tank, now to just get the tank back onto the nice rusty straps...

ok rant over

Now that's funny! Live and learn.

Indy,

Keep up the good work! Like I've said before, we need more teenagers like you. :) Keep saving some for snowmobile gas for next year!
