briankd 817 #52 Posted April 11, 2022 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 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briankd 817 #55 Posted April 28, 2022 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 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,707 #56 Posted April 29, 2022 Tractor looks great, but I do agree that for some reason theres excessive clippings on the rim? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That back 'wing' on the high lift would DEFINITELY hit the deck shell on mine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
