I'm still looking for a Sickle Bar for the Ventrac and understand that Steiner had one at one time that would fit. Does anyone have any recommendations or know where I could get one ? Thanks !

For some reason - it wants more length to message ?

I have the grader blade and the excavator bucket, but the blower works great for anything deep ! v bar chains on all 4 makes this go in nearly anything !

:smile: Thanks Kenny ........ I think ! :wink: Happy Thanksgiving ! I havent been on the forum a great deal lately -- the 7 month old Chocolate Lab still has all the puppy energy and nosey behavior (keeps me busy).

Looks like plastic items you could use a pick up tool similar to this to get them out ! I rotated and cleaned up your picture some.

I'd love to have a Sickle Bar mower that will fit the 4231 - It would need to be 6' to 8' to reach close to the pond on the inside of my Dam. I don't want to spend a small fortune and don't (won't) do ebay or paypal. Is there anything available for the Ventrac - even if it needs to be self...

Get a pick up tool - many versions available fairly cheap - reach in and grab the item without removing tank. Auto parts store should have the tool.

Visitor today about 20' off the back porch. :biggrin:

Pickup Wizard For Small Fruits and Nuts (3/4-inch diameter minimum) | A.M. Leonard, Inc. Have not used one, but just came across this in a catalog this weekend ???

Great Pictures ! Looks like you were nearly under him - surprised you could get that close (Unless you have exceptional zoom lens). This one is a Red Tail - in a tree off our back porch.

I knew what you intended and you used it correctly. I'm not a language expert, but that one is quite obvious to me. It has become common for people to say (or type / keyboard) "could care less" when they mean "could not care less" ("couldn't care less"). We have some BIG Toads here, but I...

The blower is serious - we had two 2' snows and the blower had no problem doing 9 LONG drives and over 1/4 mile to the main road.:thumbsup:

I had no problems with the fenders and on the first 4231 (I had an 04 and now have the 2011) the rear frame was a bit close - the new 4231 has more space between the frame and the tire. I use chain tighteners so there is no space between the tire and chain. attachmentid=7036&stc=1&d=1340809934

Oregon also makes what they call an "Exmark Mulching Blade" that has an upper and lower cutting edge on each blade. They work well, but (I found out the hard way :eek:) they will bend if you hit anything and I have not found out a way to get them bent back straight again. They do come in...

Just FYI There are 2 options on the Ventrac for bush hoging - Their Tough Cut mower deck and I have used the Meg-Mo blades on the finish cut mower deck - they do a great job and the knives kick back like bush hog blades if you hit anything. :thumbsup: These are the Meg-Mo blades on the...

Just some of what we have around here.

Can't resist --- On the Ventrac - the mower is out front - lift cover off - pull 2 pins - flip deck up - put in pin to hold it up - remove blades with 3/4" wrench -- sharpen or change -- reverse process --- Easy ! I LOVE my Ventrac ! :thumbsup: :biggrin:

Too many Questions ???? How were all the gigantic stones in ancient structures cut so exactly, transported and placed so perfectly, and all without any type of machinery or modern cutting tools ?? Why were things that could only be seen from the sky done when there was supposedly no flight...

We have a pond and this is the back side of the dam - at the steepest it is about 37 to 38 degree slope (most 30 or so) the 1st pic shows slope meter. This is facing uphill with the dual wheel set on the Ventrac. I can do it with the Ventrac and duals - I would not attempt it with a lawn or...

stock 8 Hp Briggs from 800 Special

71 800 Special manuals

Some of you may remember that I repowered an 800 Special for a neighbor. The problem is that somewhere back in time someone removed the parking brake assembly and I can't even find any pictures or drawings of what it should look like. Any suggestions how I can lock the Brake / Clutch lever down...

That IS Cool ! :thumbsup: Wonder if it will be available for sale ? :biggrin: This is my TOY ! I ride it !

That 1 Ton Truck is heavy and the tires needed air plus there were chains on the rear tires, but the Ventrac had no problems. I'd like to get that Truck running for J.R. - like everything else, he has taken some things on it apart and not put them back together. It does turn over with the hand...

Have the 4231 Gas and have pulled a 49 Chevy 1 Ton Flatbed uphill over field grass and did not even have the dual wheel set on. Have also hauled 5'x9' trailer full of firewood up and downhill - downhill did require the extra suitcase weights to avoid being pushed. Have pulled many small trees...

OK -- You asked for it !

Yes, Robert E. Brown was my father, but neither of us ever lived in Florida. Dad was a decent looking guy. My looks are questionable. :biggrin: The Ventrac is not as scary as a picture of me would be. JD That one Avatar of your cat that I mentioned was not the cat himself, but the look on...

This is what you need . :biggrin: Then pick them up with a snow shovel.

I'm attempting to find manuals etc. for this 1-0150 (800 Special 1971) so I can get it running for my 85 year old neighbor. This one has an 8 horse B&S engine and his BIL took the battery and most of the wiring quite some time ago -- no mower deck. The tractor itself seems to be in good shape -...

These are the Meg-Mo blades not 3, but 4 knives / disc. some people don't like them, but I find they work great on the Ventrac. :thumbsup:

I don't know how easy or hard it might be to adjust your deck front to rear, but have you tried making the front of your deck maybe 1/4" lower than the back so that the blades actually cut 2 times (once up front and once in back) Obviously, also at the sides, but the leading edge would cut...

This wasn't on a lawn mower, but it is a small engine (Onan on a Generac stand by generator). I went to start my generator for an exercise cycle (I do it manually instead of letting it start by itself) and it would not start. I figured it was battery since it was nearly 5 years old. I opened...

Happy 4th to everyone !

The NEW 4231 {31 Hp} Gas Water Cooled Ventrac with 60" Mower Deck ! :thumbsup: :biggrin: NOT the same one in the Avatar.

NEW 4231 Gas Water Cooled arrived today ! :biggrin: :thumbsup: Check out the Ventrac Forum for pictures. Here is one !

Here is my NEW 4231 Gas being delivered ! :biggrin: :thumbsup: More pictures to follow (when I get the camera out instead of playing with the New Toy). More ! :biggrin:

Well, I broke down and did it. I found out that Ventrac was not going to be putting the 31 Hp Water cooled Briggs in the 4200 series after this year (because of new EPA regs). I ordered an 4231 WC - Just got pictures of it at the factory crated and ready to ship to my dealer. {Thanks Dustin}...

Does anyone here have either Coronet mower ???

I have this for the Sthil Kombi - I got it for my pond bank and it will handle some tough stuff plus it lays the cuttings down instead of throwing them all over you (and for me, into the pond). STIHL KombiSystem and KombiMotor - Professional Multi-task Tools | STIHL USA KombiMotor Accessories -...

I know, some people (KennyV) with some machines don't like them, but the Meg-Mo blades work great for me (especially in wet grass).:thumbsup: 4 cutting knives per spindle and they kick back if you hit any obstruction.

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Best I can do right now !

Said it Before - will say it again -- this is the VENTRAC 4200 with Dual Wheel Set (8 tires) Straight up and down the slope - Gauge is mounted on the side of the tool box, so it is reading the slope as the tractor climbs straight up the incline.

That is JRs 49 Chevy 1 Ton Commercial. :biggrin:

This shows where the gauge was on the tool box lid ! :biggrin: I held the tractor in position with the foot control while I took the pictures.

I'll try again --

Finally got to mow the back side of our Dam today. It has been too wet and still is in spots. Dual wheels mounted and I put the Slope Gauge on the cover of the tool box - the picture of the gauge is with the tractor near the top and reads about 39 degrees. the 2nd picture is from the far side...

Have you seen Meg-Mo Blades ? I know Kenny did not have good luck with these, but I like them. They cut the grass clippings finer and throw them farther out the chute + the blades (knives) flip back if you hit anything. If you are interested, just look up Meg-Mo ! :thumbsup:

Depends on what they will go on and what you plan to do with them on your machine. I had a set similar to this on a JD 318 and they didn't tear up lawn unless it was wet.

Here it is: It has been said that a MOTOR is electric powered and an ENGINE is internal combustion. WHY do so many people call ENGINES MOTORS ?????? Why is it MOTOR Sports ???? Why is it a MOTORcycle with a Gas ENGINE ???? :wink: :rolleyes: :confused2: :confused...
