184 Seat Time
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 12:45 pm
Finally got some good quality seat time on my freshly rebuilt 184.
The rebuilt engine has about 5 running hours on it (rebuild completed in December). Ran the snowblower twice during the winter (not much snow this year) for a small winter workout.
Changed the oil and mounted up the 3-point tiller. Boiled the remaining condensation out of the oilpan with a really good workout. That tiller really works the tractor hard, but not once did I have to pick up the tiller to keep it from stalling. The engine handled it well.
Dropped the tiller and mounted up the mower deck. A sharpening & grease job and in an hour I climbed back aboard and fired up the mower deck. Mowing was a truely pleasurable experience! Sharp blades and a well-tuned engine! Plenty of power to spare as well! Lovin my 184 again.
