First time doing an engine rebuild on a Gator TS. Learned a lot doing this! It’s nearly at 10,000 hours and was burning oil a lot reason for the replacements. Valves lapped with new oils seals. New piston, rings and all gaskets and seals replaced. Runs like a Deere again!

How have I only decided to do this now? Rearrange the tool chest to be better. OCD incoming 😄

@HectorsShop Thanks Hector! Picture doesn’t do it justice, but they work great!

@ChristopherFogg DUDE YOU ARE DA MAN!!!!! THATS FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Recently had led lights fitted in the workshop, they’ve improved the lighting but found something to also help under the machines. LED strips have worked out great.

@Whittys_ @GCSAAConference I wish we had training like that here in the UK 😩

I know what I’m doing this morning @GCSAAConference 😉

@bradtrs Not that I know of. Are we talking since new?

@ChristopherFogg Any issues with the golfco rollers being out of round ? I have some over .010 I tried replacing the shaft but there still the same.

Fairway units are ready for a wash prepped for a grind. Love this time of year. Spring is just around the corner 👍

Anyone else have one of these ultrasonic cleaners? It’s a must if not, I use it more often than I thought. Cleans very well on parts

@HectorsShop Thanks Hector!

@ChristopherFogg Nice work bro!! Great vid!

Had a lot of fun bringing some life back into our 6500D. Spent some money for sure, but definitely a good investment to continue using it as a winter machine.

Purchased a set of 7 blade cylinders from R&R products for tees and aprons. Gave them a grind beforehand and looks nice.

@hammanorgc @sportsmetals With some elbow grease it does a good job, nothing technical which I like too

@ChristopherFogg @sportsmetals And this is for what Chris? Never seen one before 🤷‍♂️

Thanks @sportsmetals for getting this to me. Certainly will help to maintain the shoe a lot easier during changes on bedknives. Shout out to the turf techs that shared this, I wouldn’t of known otherwise! 👍

Boss wanted a cage to carry the cool box around on a buggy to serve beverages on the course to members, so grabbed some materials and got to work. 🍻

@davelaneSpM @sportsmetals youtu.be/OKBLaop46ZE This is @HectorsShop doing a demonstration and explaining what it does

@ChristopherFogg @sportsmetals Keen to know more too Chris. Not come across them

Bringing a set of units back to life. Bushes were worn so ended up wearing the yoke arm and rod. Thankfully drilled a 19mm HSS drill bit to save the yoke arm so a bush can be reinserted with a rod. Saving £900 that can be spent now on something else 👍

Had a divot party yesterday then the members came into the workshop for some snacks being served from the vehicle lift. Afterwards a tour of the machinery, demonstrating the grinding room, stock room and cutting unit set up with discussing topics. Was really cool to see and do

Can just about feel my finger tips after fitting the seals in a lift cylinder

@sportsmetals @JRMTurfProducts @chyman_g @HectorsShop @hefner_laura @GCSAATV @GCSAA @gcsany @reelturftechs Thanks! I just see you today too!
