My name is Mick and I'm in the far north of Queensland Australia. A very dry tropical environment most of the year, until our wet season comes round usually December to March.
I've always been interested in mechanical things and enjoy learning how to maintain and fix up the things I use.
Recently I've been moved from Road work to equipment maintenance, mostly small to medium scale mowing equipment, think the kinds of things used on the grass at the sides of roads in small towns and out on the hi way.
One ZTR I have to work on is a Toro 5000 Series Zmaster professional, to say it's been hard used is an understatement.
The key switch is completely junked and the starter solenoid has no cover and is open to the elements. The park brake cables on both sides are loose to the point they almost trip the safety switch.
It like a few others will be a case of fix one thing to find something else is busted, but they will keep me busy as a return to work process.
Looking forward to sharing and learning from these fixes.
New solenoid will get fitted in the morning, and I will have to order the key switch before I can test further I think.
