    Got home off the mountain this evening and it looks like the lawn grew at least 1/4” — appears that I am just gonna have to break out the beast in the morning

    Well @bzinger — it’s gonna be a hard adjustment, but with the proper therapy I can probably move on from the idea that I’ll never have to operate a push mower again

    Oh don't worry the sorrow will fade away pretty quik !
    I gave away my last push mower over a year ago and haven't missed it yet .
    Have you noticed yet there is alot more gas in the tank than what the fuel gauge shows ?

    Time Flys....we are now 550k down the road since I bought the truck in Sept of 2017 and went on a overhaul and component replacement rampage .
    In the last couple months .
    All new shoes , drums , cans and slack adjusters .
    All new shocks .
    All new air bags .
    All new hoses , hangers and lite cord out the back of the cab .
    Rebuilt the air dryer .
    Next up will be new oil in all the boxes again and should be up to date on things ..apu all gone thru too including the the generater and updates .
    I've become a big believer in proactive component replacement and strict maintenance intervals long before what oems recommend, at 1 million 50k its still tight , clean and looks good and rarely have a breakdown .
    I also think I've dispelled the myth that cascadias are junk and in fact think most trucks are beat and undermaintained .

    I will also add that what I did was blind luck considering
    the freight market and used truck Market between 2017 and now...between the purchase price , the apu and the overhaul I financed 84k , no way I'd do that now .

    I haven't decided yet and have 3 years to do it but if I trade the x330 a year before the warranty is up I will definitely upgrade to a x380 with hydro deck lift and power steering.
    But at the end of the first year of the mowing season with 18 hours on it its probably unlikely.

    Ha!

    But seriously, both boxes in neutral had caused me to stop and start over before.
