I bought a 6' Brush Hog mower for the 550 to have something to do. It started out good, but when it got under a heavy load, it started missing and sputtering and dropped RPM's. Step on the clutch and it would come out of it. I checked the spark plugs, one wire was iffy, so I found another and then they all had good spark. With no load it goes from idle to wide open smoothly. I soaked the carb last winter and put a new kit in it. When mowing, I tried opening the main jet a couple of turns, it helped a little but didn't cure it. It's been too long since I did much with a gas tractor, it finally dawned on me to try pulling the choke out. I was mowing and hit a patch of tall grass and it started sputtering. I pulled the choke out about 3/4 of the way and it smoothed out, leaned into the load and purred right along. Looks like when I get some extra time, the carb comes back off again. Chris

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
