firstly, i finally got that mower deck off my 195, one of the PO's liked to use nails instead of cotterpins!!!
:twisted: there was a big nail hiding in the mule drive where the mower deck frame peice slides into, this is what was stopping me from sliding the mower deck out of the mule drive.
so now onto the next puzzle. when i was pushing the 195 across some rough terrain and into the garage, i heard a hollow "knocking" sound coming from the tractor. as i got it into the garage i narrowed it down to the axle or axle sleeves/shafts. when i pushed on one side of the tractor; rocking it side to side gently. i could actually see the axles sliding in the axle sleeves. the knocking i was hearing was when the sleeve was hitting the hubs on either side. this cant be normal can it?? something must be worn or missing somewhere. i also noticed while i was investigating it a bit more thoroughly is that its missing the entire disc brake assembly, all that's there is a rusted disc on the right hand side of the tractor just above the axle.
hopefully my description is somewhat understandable, if not i think i'll have to make a short video clip.
just because, heres a pic of the 195 with the mower off
