Ready for spring!!

Yes the last four weeks have been rather brutal.  Snow, wind and colder than normal temperatures have us hoping for a early spring.  The Golf Course's snow removal equipment is getting a good workout this winter season.  The golf course turf remains in great shape, there has been a good snow cover with little or no ice forming under all the snow. 

With the weather as such, we have been busy getting ready for the golf season in the maintenance facility.  One of our many tasks this year is replacing some hydraulic seals on our aging mower fleet.  The mower shown below is our verti cut unit, this model is 13 years old.  We have seen a few issues with this style of power unit start to drip hydraulic fluid out of a valve bank under the main console.  As you can see below replacing the seals in the middle of the all those pipes and fittings is not such a fun project, just ask Matt and Kenny!  On this particular unit we had to replace only 8 seals, one other just like it we replaced 12.  It definitely takes time and patience get the seals out and the new ones installed.  We will test the machine upon reassembly, the true test always is once the machine is out and running under full load for 2-3 hours. 

If you ever want to see what is happening at the Maintenance Facility please stop by, the coffee is always on. 

Think Spring!
