Question for those here who maintain ther own gear, do you have any suggestions for larger B/C section riveted pulleys? A customer is after a few and my regular sources are unable to supply a couple of sizes

What is the issue with the pulleys? I was sick ion buying new pulleys for my JD Ride on mower, so I drilled the rivets out and replaced them with small grade 8 bolts, replacement bearings were $4 from the local bearing shop, and JD was charging $45 for a new pulley each time the bearing needed replacing.

Grass is slowing down now, I’ve removed about one-third of my typical summer bulk from the front lawn. A relief!

And I say golden period because it's genuinely great to be working outdoors in Autumn, sunny days but not too hot, not too cold. It's also that period before all the leaves start dropping and making some of my jobs a two-step process of leaf removal and grass cutting.

I’m very much loving the milder weather, I’ve been on heart meds this summer which have reduced my heat tolerance to zero. Under normal circumstances I change what I am doing mid 30s, this year low 30s = dead.
I’m having a heart op in a month, need to take 3 weeks off. Looking forward to the holiday
