Sorry, I forgot to take a picture. I was doing some finishing passes in the back yard when I made a sharp left and the right front wheel went right. &$@€><?!*^%+•=¥~#. Well, I buried the axel in the dirt and left it to finish edging. When the edging was done I went back with a jack (the kind that we had in the Darts) and levered the mower up onto bricks and put the wheel back on. Yep, I'm brilliant. I did get the mower back into the garage, sloowwwlly.
How this happened.
The right front JD wheel has a tire with a slow leak in it. The folks at Rome Lawnmower Repair didn't bother to fix the flat when they had it in to get it ready for mowing. Well, I put a wheel and tire I had kept from Roy's tractor. That wheel happens to be narrower than the JD. Now, when a wheel slides side to side on the axle eventually the c ring holding the wheel on will come loose and fall off.
Gonna have to fix that.
I'm am not happy I forgot the picture.
