((Sorry for such a long title!!))
So, a month ago I took these pictures when we mowed grass by the pond for our Memorial day weekend. I followed Rob in the car to take pictures and to keep the dogs safe. These big mower attachments can easily cost a dog it's leg, if not it's life. Here we go!
|
Rob is backing the tractor out, and we're on our way to the pond. |
|
We have to stop and open the gate to get out to the pasture. |
|
Rob had just gone from the gravel to grass, and is starting to mow. |
|
You can kind of make out the shorter grass from the taller grass. |
|
Here you can better see the area that has been mowed. |
|
Up close and personal! |
|
We're now by the pond, Rob is in the distance going back and forth. |
|
Rob heard a pop, and apparently a bolt broke. Here he is explaining the pole by his hands goes around and around to power the blades underneath the mower. |
|
Where that hole is, is where the bolt is supposed to be, and in fact, part of it is there. It had just snapped in half. |
|
Rob managed to get the rest of the bolt out, and here it is in half. |
|
My dad, being the ingenious man he is, had another bolt wrapped to the mower! Talk about saving time and energy going to look for a replacement bolt. |
|
Rob got in the tool box to find a clip and some tools to get everything put back together. |
|
Here you can see the bolt back in place, with it's clip, all ready to go again! |
|
Here is my artistic shot of the day! |
|
This is what it looked like after it was all mowed! Mowed areas always look so lush! |
What I didn't document in these pictures is the fact that the bolt broke once again, and thankfully we found another bolt to get it fixed! It seems like anytime you have a task to do things always go wrong!
Have a wonderful Thursday!!
