Yes my bad… it is a composite deck… and it’s got a manual throttle cable in it! Which is my go to…. I’m not a big fan on the auto choke… this mower was bought in 2007

 

I used this once!

 

TMI

 

$70 and I'll jump on the Turnpike, head your way, and pick it up

 

Like the quick sell! 100.00 and I’ll meet you half way!!

 

It’s really not mine to sell… Christian bought it and got it running …. So ima gonna let him figure out what to do with it…. Let’s see if he can profit off one of his buys

 

Well, damn, I tried

 

Put the 3205 axle and PTO in, packed the wheel bearings and installed the converted spindles with repacked lower thrust bearings aka poor mans power steering(even though I have power steering) New tie rod ends. Painted the steering cylinder and have it drying. Coming together. Forgive me on the blasphemous safety yellow rear wheels. The others are still waiting to be painted when I get time

 

Hope the wifey don’t get mad that you spend a lot of time in the shop playing with your tractors!! Looks like at treads for the rear and ribbed tires for the front would look sweet

 

Here are the rears.Sedona Rip-Saw 26x12-12s

 

Finally finished up these big bitches.

 

Cheers

 

Well it looks like I might possibly got bit by the counterfit Amazon product! Ordered a "better" deck belt for the mower the other day. Ordered a Stens True Blue belt, which from my experience have always been made in America. Well, not this one... Something also feels off about the packaging, I don't know what it is. Says made in India...





So tomorrow I'll throw it on and see what happens. Also need to remove the mulching blades and cover and go back to the high lift blades. Grass is so damn dry right now it makes no sense to mulch it. Sharpened the high lift blades earlier with my air die grinder. So far it's the best thing I've used yet to sharpen blades. They didn't really need it, but I did it anyways to smooth out the nicks in the blade.

 

I just sent Sten's an email with your pics attached asking if they were now making belts in India.

 

That's awesome, never thought to do that. Thanks!

 

Gotta figure out what I can do with this dinosaur.

16 HP onan running on 1 cylinder. Owner said it sounded like something went thru the engine and made a bunch of noise.

The front and rear pto location make it hard to find something that matches closely.

I'm hoping I get lucky when we open up.

Owner has sentimental attachment. Her dad gave it to her shortly before his death. She would really like to keep it operational.

I made no promises, but would research some options and give her something to think on.

 

900lb horizontal shaft beast right there. Worth fixing.

Yep. Saw that site. Pretty legit old iron.

Even running on 1 lung, this thing was very solid feeling.

It has been well maintained.
