    Donn’s Mower Shop will be open for business this spring. I am buying a good supply of parts for Mcd #7 and #9 mowers. A few for the JD. Others I will order as needed. I will have several different knife sections, including the smooth knife section, top serrated and under serrated. lots of cutter bar, pitman, and seals and barings will be in stock.

    Feel free to contact me to talk about mower repair, and to look for parts.

    donn, good news and thanks. every good, active, thriving community, needs services. and the shop guy, repairman or tinkerer is key. he’s the one everyone leans on the hardest for support.
    are you gonna offer any rebuilts for sale?
    good luck with your shop

    perhaps rebuilts eventually. I am starting out focused on about 60 Amish Neighbors who all seem to support the idea. I think they mostly want parts and maybe a few repairs. They also want the cutting, welding, and bending services.

    Neat, Donn, something those small shops that I really tune into. I have a 1 horse MD that is a winter project and I will be in touch when I figure out what I need.

    That’s great news, Donn. I’m STILL:mad:waiting for the mower book I ordered from SFJ back in November (“hope to reprint it by the end of January”)!!! As soon as I figure out what I need I’ll be sure to reach out to you.

    Forgot to ask…..Does that mean you’re done with dragging hoses?

    unfortunately it is the dragging hoses that affords all else. Just twelve years to go.

    It’s a noble occupation, for sure, Donn. Just hope that they don’t dink around with your retirement system in NY like they have ours in NH!!

    Along with Donn’s efforts, I am rebuilding mowers- so far mostly McD but will be doing a JD this winter also. I have some parts and put on a rebuild workshop in the spring and fall. Have a couple of #9’s ready now. I have most parts and can get others. Does your mower hum like a sewing machine?
