Bryan,
when in very heavy grass I do get clippings on the right mower.
When done I just pick it off or use the air hose.. and twice a year I clean the air cleaner on the engine..

That deck came with a deflector which you may know about. It might be the ticket since I bet you don't let the grass get that high anyway. I guess they are mostly MIA because of hilling the grass but it has to be somewhat high. Anyway, I bet it'd keep the grass on the right mower to a minimum.
I was just looking at the rear shot of the complete set-up. How do the tires track on the trailers? Do they seem to strain towards the middle any at all? I'm just curious; and I'd like to see it in action. Have you thought about YouTube? (or is it already there?)

Wayne,
No. They track perfectly...there is enough weight on the rear wheels
to keep it stright...even on my road ditch, it drifts ever so little.
I should do a video some day..

I mentioned it on the Main forum, but here are some pics of my (slightly) modified 126. Well, its a little more than slightly, but its just add-ons and paint. The paint and rear tires, by the way, was the most expensive "modifying" i have done up to this time, as the radio and pipe for the stack were free, the clapper was a few bucks at farm and home, and the tail lights were 50 cents for a whole huge bag at a garage sale. If you look close you will probably notice that the cub is not exactly clean.. this is because last spring I got it stuck in a rather large mud hole and dad had to pull it out with his four wheeler. (in the process throwing mud all over it.) to the cub's credit, if I hadn't turned to miss the log in front of me, it would have made it.. A year later and I still haven't given it a proper scrubbing, but, it didn't NEED one at the time.
this is how i painted all four rims. (that was a job.)
inside ones are the tail lights. the others are the standard reflectors.

Wyatt --Good looking welds. Is there reason that you can't run the bead oontinuously? (I'm not a welder, but I work with several.)
Jeremiah-
I can't take credit for the excellent TIG welding on the fenders. Welds were kept short to keep the heat distortion down. There's still a little hammer & dolly work to get some of the distortion out, but much easier than if I had welded them with a wire feed.
