Today I mounted a deflector safety skirt on the discharge chute of the rail-mower, to ensure that anything thrown out the chute hits the skirt and falls outside the rail.
Also rented a cutoff saw and shortened the C-channel ramps I built for the rail-mower and motorcars from 8 feet to 6 feet 10 inches. The 8-foot version was pretty heavy to lift and I could see it bending as the motorcar went up it. I figured a shorter one would be stiffer and the angle would not be too sharp for the rail-mower to get over it.
Unfortunately, heard from M&D Mower that they have ordered the piston rings for the rail-mower's Wisconsin engine from the factory. Since the factory is no longer making them, that probably means I will hear shortly from them that they are unavailable. Fortunately, I have found an alternative supplier so will order the rings from them if necessary.
