Bumper Installed On Sears Tractor TRACTORS Accessories 27-5-37 Bill Reeks, Cromwell, Ky.: "Lawn tractors usually get used only for mowing and maybe for towing a small cart or trailer. To make my new Sears Craftsman 17 1/2 hp riding mower more versatile, I removed the hood and installed a bumper equipped with a ball hitch. The bumper has an I-bolt on top of it that allows me to lift the front end of the tractor. As a result, I can sharpen blades without having to remove the tractor's 42-in. mower deck or reach underneath it. I place a safety stand under the deck so it can't fall.
"To charge more than one battery at a time I line up the batteries so that the positive posts are aligned, and then use a vise grip to clamp a wire to all the positive posts. The negative posts are also hooked up in the same way. This idea allows one charger to charge several batteries at the same time.
"When using a grease gun, I find an old sock works good to wipe the grease fittings clean before I attach the hose/fitting. A hole in the sock can serve as a æthumb hole.' This idea keeps my hands free of grease and dirt, too."
