The original burned up machine cleaned up and with tires.
The now running GT245. I just measured the wheels on my trailer, and they should bolt right up for testing.
5 lug on 4.5 inch. Just like Jeep, Ford, Toyota, and most 5 lug trailers. It may even end up with car tires, who knows.
The girls at Menards gave me funny looks when I turned in the battery core.

john deeres are easy to work on I have built 2 awesome mowers out of 4 dead machines. rebuilds work great 22hp beasts with the HD k46. the k66 is the way to go but they are pretty expensive.
Transmission is getting weak in my tractor, and this has the upgraded transmission that fits into mine. Should be a bolt in affair, then the rest will go for scrap.

Yeah, the L110 I'm cutting with now was free and beat up with no hood. I bought a parts machine without an engine or seat, but a nice hood and mixed and matched into a nice machine. I looked into the k66 swap, but they're over $2k now. John Deere had backed out of a deal with Tuff Torq, and they were left with surplus, so someone came up with a swap kit when they were cheap. Now it's too expensive.
The k46's are dying at 60 hours for some people. I've got over 1200 hours on mine, but I'm running 85w gear oil now instead of the 10x 40 they ship with. It's looking like the GT245 with the k72 transmission I paid 66$ for will be mowing tomorrow.

Maybe when you've fixed that rusty shitheap you can sell it and buy some pants that fit.
Why would I buy pants for the girl at the customer service desk? Is that customary in Dubai or just a midget twat thing.
For Midge, a small bit of fashion goes a long way.
Midge may have even had a chance to fuck a model.

Success!
Cleaned out the mouse nest in the shroud, replaced a chewed up coil and wire, temp mounted wheels off my little trailer, fixed PTO wiring, replaced missing bolts, blew sooo much greasy grass off, pulled a seat off another machine, mounted deck belt, replaced battery, put on a front tire, figured out ignition switch, and mowed the front lawn!
This thing is fast! It also has a surprisingly small turn radius. I guess $6,000 can get you a pretty nice lawn tractor! A comparable machine today is $8,000. I bought this one machine just for the engine for $66. Battery was $45, and a front wheel and tire was $10.
I bought another machine without an engine for $65, and a nice deck for $135. With the burned up tractor I could put together another one pretty easily.
Going after tires, a hood and some small parts to pretty it up tomorrow.
Check out the booger welds and angle iron to beef up the deck where the wheels attach.
Kawasaki engine with a real rebuildable carb.

Better than mousy grass. I don't need the Hantavirus.
