If there's room somewhere on the mower, throw a 90 lb. bag of quikrete on to get a little extra weight on the drive wheels. Should be in the middle for equal weight distribution.
I was looking at an ATV with a little dump box on it once, it was supposed to be ideal for cutting grass etc., and it had a little lever to make it posi.
Now do I treat Mrs. Doc like a typical woman, and explain posi?
If I tell her posi means the rear end locks and puts power to both rear wheels, I could get in trouble, especially if she already knows what it is...then I get accused of insulting her intelligence and talking down to her in some chauvinistic fashion.
Or do I treat Mr.s Doc like GI Jane?
Oh, and unless nobody else caught this, I think this whole email is her back handed way of b!tching at a certain somebody who isn't home.
You mean posi, as in limited slip, right? You know, limited slip, those short slips worn under mini skirts so your panties wont show.
As far as at Mr. Doc, I was looking for some info (to see if anyone else had this issue), and to call him out a little on the towing straps (I hate those chains!).
Thanks Greenie and Rambrush for the added weight suggestions. I think I would have to carry it on my lap though. It is too bad that I got rid of all of my fathers shot after he passed away, I think I could fit a couple of bags behind me on the seat.
Well, this isn't the thread I was expecting when I signed on this morning. Did you have to mention letting it roll backward?
I know your driving well enough to be confident that you tried easing into the throttle and feathering it to get traction, as well as trying to shift weight onto the spinning wheel (which you mentioned doing).
Call about the wheel weights and see if the shop thinks they will help and if they will install them. As much as I hate to say it, see if they have a more aggressive profile tire as well. We have chains, but I would say to avoid them, because they will chew up the asphalt in the driveway.
Whatever you do, don't tease your boss, as FLTundra06 suggested. He would be insufferable! The damsel in distress routine would work far better.
I will see if I can find some straps and order them.
Is the lilac OK? How about the rose bush? Whatever you do, don't take the chainsaw to the tractor. You might damage it, and I really like that saw. Use the sledge hammer instead.
Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I was thinking tease the boss's son and have him doing all the yard work.

Good idea on the traction mats.
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure how the lever worked on the ATV, I think it locked the pinion gear, which would make it a locker. Seems to me there was still supposed to be a little bit of slippage.
If the mower has a trailer hitch, you could always attach weight there.

problem solved. start the mower, rig it so it wont turn off w/o sitting on it. use them ^$^@& chains to fasten it securely to the back of the tundra. put it in 4 wheel and use the tundra to pull the mower around the yard. surely u wont get stuck now.

Somehow, I just knew there would be a mention of panties......
