    One of those days.

    Outboard downshaft on my 8' Bush Hog snapped a couple weeks ago.Did not hit anything that hard but it had an old break from some time ago.My welder/heavy mechanic tells me to back off the clutch when storing it so it doesn't freeze up.I told him it had only been tightened up since 1989 :lol:
