That Cool To Know .... Kansas ?? Please Don't Tell Me That You Mow Your Yard With A Cub Cadet !! ?? 😆 - L

That’s great, you should be proud, it was a great idea in mower design, my son has a Dixon mower, maybe someday I will be able to buy it from him, I would love to own one, but they have always been a little pricey for me,

So awesome. Great design.

You know I am the grandson of Kenneth Olen Dixon who is my grandpa.

There's nothing wrong with being old school , The older the better i always say , not to mention the older something is the better chance it will actually work lol

its possible , it had a brand new spark plug , air filter , fresh carb rebuild , new fuel line , a good battery and a full tank of fresh gas when i bought it , someone really tried to get it running , they should have checked the valves .

I love when people throw out their non working stuff and just buy a new one, that's when people like us come in and pay nearly nothing for the things we want and need, knowledge truly is power. Nice job. I actually got a dixon mower a couple days ago for free and it just needs a steering adjustment

The boat isnt mine , my neighbor was fixing it for a friend

I didnt have to replace the deck belt on mine so im not sure what size it took , i sold it right after fixing it

i am 6 foot 6 so everything is small lol

yeah it was pretty small for a zero turn , i am just glad the valve seat stayed in , i really didn't want to have to replace the motor

of course being 6 foot 6 doesn't help lol makes everything around me look small in comparison

Yeah I am a big guy myself but still that is a little ZT. I worked a motors for 40 years and never saw a valve seat come out like that.

Plus I got a Dixie with a 25hp Kaw and 60in cut its a tank

At this point the mower looks more like a go kart

I was going to green metal recycling here in fort worth but they no longer set aside mowers , atvs , bicycles or anything else cool , they crush it all as soon as it comes in , i asked the owner why they wont save anything anymore and he said its because if the guys working out in the yard cant afford to buy it themselves they will crush it so no one else can have it , that's a pretty crappy way to run a business if you ask me , they also lowered the payout price for scrap to the point that it is no longer worth it to even drive over there a whole bed load of scrap doesn't even cover the cost of the fuel to get there anymore , my last trip there i had 500 lbs of scrap and that usually brings me around 45 bucks but this last time i only made $6 , they are also under new management and they are extremely rude to the customers , so i quit going , its back to craigslist surfing and trash picking for me .

The kind of nut who would scrap that is probably the nut that stole it out of somebody’s yard. 😂

My local scrap place won't even pay you for scrap steel unless you have over 200 pounds... smh bunch of gangsters.

Yea i spent alot of time working on that car , sanding , fixing rust , welding , painting , a tweaker crashed into it a few weeks ago in that exact spot , thinking insurance is going to write it off

Thanks !

Thanks !

there are a few things that can cause this , either your small drive sprocket is worn down , the chain could be too loose , or the sprockets are miss aligned meaning one of off to one side and causing the chain to walk off , i had this same problem with mine the small sprocket was worn down just enough to make the chain pop off and it eventually broke the sprocket , you can also put the rear of the mower up on jack stands and make sure the axle doesn't have any side to side movement maybe a loose wheel or worn out spacer ,

I don't know if yours has one but my Dixon has a chain tensioner and from what I hear and what I've experienced they do not work well. Constant adjusting and the all thread piece is prone to bending. May not be the case with yours but worth a look

@@mikenunya5606 You can remove the tensioner then shorten the chain

Its always like that when it isnt running , at least this one was

@@TheRandomMechanic do you have to have the arms open into the neutral position

it sounds like your cone drive needs to be adjusted or your clutches replaced , its probably worn down and barely making contact , i have not personally adjusted one before but i hear that you only want to adjust it a little bit at a time because you can break it if you go too far ,

not sure how too do that I know that under the seat there is 2 short chain like the ones next to the wheels

@@bobinmissouri mine started doing the,same and found the voltage regulator was going out

Still not bad for 60 bucks , sold it for $600

Yea it was , sold it for $600 the next day

The Random Mechanic pretty nice deal! If I was riding on that thing my wife would just make fun of me constantly because I’d look like a big guy riding around on a child’s power wheel.

@@JonBecker81 i think its mainly that i am 6 foot 6 , everything is small when compared to myself

@@JonBecker81 My dad is 5'9 so he'd look like a kid driving a go kart

Some people just don't have any common sense , i have noticed that the scrappers around here dont care about the potential value of the item they just want immediate payment so they can go get high , alot of tweakers around these parts , makes for decent scrap yard pickin lol
