Took on a new client in Hunua today...standing grass as tall as the hood on the PowerPony tractor.
3 hours constant running had it sorted...not bad for a 50 year old machine.

Hard yakka for Victa today dealing with a lawn out in Whitford that hasn't been touched for some time.

Major breakdown on Victa whilst mowing a clients section, seizing the input shaft on the transaxle.
Robbed the transaxle from Murray my spare (original) machine to finish the job.
Now I'm busy rebuilding a better, more reliable transaxle for Victa still featuring welded spiders for traction, but this time an oil-filled 6-speed with shaft bearings instead of a grease-filled 5-speed.
