If it quits working you can scavenge the motor and put it on a pole with

What you have is a backhoe edition of the JD 435 utility

it should. I pulled it apart thinking that it was a

I took some JB Weld and glued the key into the keyway and made the
hole a bit smalller. It took some fitting with a file and some
sandpaper but now everything fits tightly again. I was concerned about
strength but I mowed the lawn and everything was fine. It's not

out and cleaned up and the first piece of metal cut to fit. I'm getting faster
at the prep work. It'd be nice to see my welding improve...

When I started to weld (gas), my father brought home 20 or 30 scrpas
of steel of all sizes and shapes from a steel fabrication shop, and

No Mercedes content here as it involves my radio-controlled boat. My
driveshaft coupler set screw hole had worn-out threads which caused it to
