He Modified Garden Tractors To Make Maintenance Easier
Bill Reeks, Cromwell, Ky.: "I modified a couple of garden tractors to make maintenance easier. The first thing I do is remove the hoods, which improves the site lines when mowing, lets the engine run cooler, and makes routine maintenance easier. It also allows me to install a ępush bar' on front of the tractor to prevent front-end damage and let me push equipment when needed. On top of the push bar I install a large eye-bolt that lets me raise the front end of the tractor with a chain lift, making it easy to sharpen the blades without taking the deck off. Saves a lot of time. I also install a ball hitch on front of each tractor for backing trailers into sheds. Finally, I mount beach-type umbrellas on the tractor for mowing on hot days."
