No More Apartments Best Lawn Mower Parts

So tired of the front panels of a Husqvarna zero turn mower on 4 acres of yard. They arrived early. Well packed. Both mirror mounts were loosened. I removed the installed ones and replaced them with better quality 1/4x28 threaded elbows wrapped in teflon tape. The mirror mounting holes in the hub are very thin metal so there isn't really depth for more than one thread. The holes looked almost unused thanks to self-tapping screws in thin metal (-1 star). The new ones seem to hold up and fit better. Only tighten them once as they have a self-tapping screw when inserted. The tires appear to be of good quality, as do the nylon pads. The sockets installed are 3/4 ID, but 5/8 ID are included if you need to replace them. Time will tell about the durability. Ride quality update: I cut two separate yards twice (4 acres total) after installing these tires. These are country farms that have been reduced to their present state over the years by ordinary grass clippings. My experience so far is that these tires offer a slightly rougher ride when hitting a small obstacle (protruding root tip, bumps in the ground, etc.). However, roughness is by no means a problem. It's one of those things that you'll notice, similar to how you increase tire pressure. Otherwise no changes. So far we are very satisfied with our commitment and the conditions of our farm. Old backyards are chock-full of broken glass, nails, metal splinters, bottle caps, etc. that have been buried for decades. Cuts on the front tires and punctures at our corner zeros were an issue we struggled with all the time. So far, so good. We don't see any major damage to the tire surface from impacts, as is the case with softer pneumatic tires. But again, time will tell.
