John Deere 455 Lawn Tractors getting cleaned by owner Don Campbell from the Alpine Village in Gaylord.

John Deere 455 Diesel Lawn and Garden Tractors – Todays picture Deb took this morning as I was cleaning up my two smaller lawn tractors. Both John Deeres are 10 years old and the one on the left only has 170 hours on it and has never mowed a blade of grass. I have only used it for sweeping thatch from the lawns and I don’t do that a lot . The tractor on the right has all wheel steer and it is great to mow with. I also have a three bag collection system and a mower deck for both of them. They have been very good tractors, my best buy. I used to have two JD 332 Diesel Lawn tractors for 10 years prior to these. One of them had 2,400 trouble free hours on it and the other had 1100 trouble free hours. Those were also my best buy.
1996 GMC fuel pump problem repairs- It cost another $400.00 but it seems so far like the problem was fixed so I am happy about that.
It’s our perfect winter beater truck and it only has 24,000 one owner miles. I’ve been told it’s a better truck than the new ones.
RUNNING , TRAINING TODAY – Todays training went very well. it was cool and perfect for a early morning run.walk training day. This morning Deb and I both added two more blocks of total running time so we are slowly making progress.
Runners lunch- Today for lunch I had 4 small tomatoes, three celery stalks , two whole raw carrots, five radishes , a boiled egg and one piece of white string cheese . My beverage was a tall glass of fresh squeezed lemon water. For dessert I had a 1/4 cup of dried cherries .
Liebherr T-282B Mining Truck – Last night I got the top deck cut out and shaped and drilled and attached to the top of the frame and to the radiator housing. Next I will cut out and design the three front sets of stairs. It still is too early for people to look like anything but to me I can imagine already how it is going to look and even at this early stage I am happy how it is starting to come together.
A good imagination is very important when building from scratch.
Have a Great Thurs.
