FAIL Thread

Noticed we dont have a fail thread and decided to make one becuse there is a TON of fails in the offroad mower community.

Disclaimer: This thread IS NOT a serious thread, so if your build ends up here dont take it seriously.

Rules:
No unnecessary bashing
Make sure its a actual fail and post worthy, not just someone stuck.
Has to be mower/tractor related, for the most part, like maybe bad welds on a mower.
Try to post original photos, dont post pictures that have already been posted.

I'll start.

We had a nice conversation about this one.

Yea, can't beat.....whatever that is.

After looking at that for a minute, I decided on a tetanus shot.

Oh come on, it's not about the functionality. It's a modern art lawn tractor sculpsure.

"Back in the early days of chatbox"

...oh sweet cheeseburger... how I long for you...



In other news...

"Gotta have that wide body stance"







"I cant understand why it broke... all I did was sit on it!"

-THREAD REVIVAL!!!-

I had to, this has potential to be funny hahaha.

At least opposed twins sounds nice...



I wonder what they're asking for it?



I found this picture on Google, turns out I'm not the first to try a Twin I-Beam setup on a tractor! Haha



Need to get me one of those fancy flywheel straps!



Hahaha.

Nice thread.

Hahaha, I was hoping you'd post that one! Now we just need Rich to post a picture of his murdered 820...

So uhhh, here's me vs an mtd deck








And the obligatory 820 destruction...('pologies, that pic was shaky)









And these just because lol

Haha that picture of the upper case half is pretty wild.

Looks a bit tippy to me, hahaha.

If that wooden wheel works, it's not fail! LOL

I suppose, looks a bit out of round though haha.

Spotted this in Maine Mud Mowers on facebook. I think the dude was running 25s on this(what appears to be) Spicer. If you don't have a diff carrier, Doc lock it!

That's rough, looks like rims welded to rims as well. That's usually a recipe for disaster haha.

A couple pictures from when I broke my pitman arm with the old steering box.





And a picture of my horrible shifter hahaha.

First startup after cleaning the flywheel. fml

And that, friendo, is why there's a torque rating for the flywheel bolt/nut. Just take the broken key out and line up the flywheel to the crank as best as you can. That aluminum key is an engineered safe point, so you don't bend the crank or something when the engine suddenly stop. It's an alignment tool really. If you do replace it, go with an aluminum one rather than steel. Note: most Briggs engines use that same key. So if you have a junk Briggs pushmower around, there's one.

How it ran, I don't know...


Cast iron doesn't bend, dummy.


The second time this broke. I only weigh 155!


Lost a tie rod nut. Used locktite after I got it back to the house.


Borrowed my shift knob to get home  


This one didn't exactly buff out. In fact, I replaced the whole fender and running board assembly rather than welding it..

Wow this thread has not been to activr..
Blew this sucker to the freaking moon .

Here is the rear axle bushing from the craftsman lt10:

what happens when you hot start in 3'd get some air and land on a rock. had to bend it back to
"straight" in the field so my toe alignment was ok
