Can you sit comfortably on that Troy bilt while it runs? :lol:

 

The tines on that tiller look to be in good shape. That is always a plus!

got the 48 inch deck on this today and fired it up and ran the deck . I was amazed how quiet it was couldn't even hear the deck running very quiet .waiting on decal's from Lowell he says they were to ship this past Friday figured they be here mid week . put the decals on and should be done . replaced the govenor shaft nut and fuel pump gasket so far no more oil leaks . will be few weeks before grass be able to mow   20220410_124335.jpg.685dff4fd85b168e168ce7992c778a18.jpg20220410_124316.jpg.c64698c5b32b0fae74c4b0c6e3baed62.jpg20220410_124257.jpg.6e70bc0e46711bb33c531b5fb1ff05ee.jpg

mowed with this today and wow this is a beast compared to the green thing I was using . had a 39 inch deck on the green thing and now 48 inch on this and gear drive to a hydro I cut my mowing time down . only issue is have small oil leak on the cam gear cover on front engine and the way this blows grass out it will make mess of the rear rim right side . don't blow straight out discharges more to the rear

Tractor looks great, but I do agree that for some reason theres excessive clippings on the rim?

someone told me make a baffle out of sheet metal and fasten it on the rear side of deck on discharge and would help grass from discharging to the rear . heavy grass it all blows on the deck wheel there . or i thought of try to get a more of a high lift blades theses look like the low lift style but the high lift may not clear the inside of deck theses now clear by 1/8 inch from hitting the deck shell right side 

i actually though about selling this this past fall before i started to tear into it but now i am glad i kept it now does great job  mowing just as good as these new mowers this has great cut quality

That's the problem here too.  That back 'wing' on the high lift would DEFINITELY hit the deck shell on mine.
