Jeremiah,

This is a PECO system that I use with a 44" deck. I have modified how it attaches so that it is directly hooked to the tractor. This keeps the pickup hose from pinching or coming off during turns. However you must be careful on turns due to the tractor being longer.

All finished now except it has the wrong deck. Oh well.

Will this hanger on my 108 fit an older style 42" deck off a narrow frame? Is the width of the front hangers that same on both decks?
Thanks

T Matt:
Downloaded the re size program you suggested. Not compatable w/Windows 7. I am so far ahead of the curve it kills me.

Mike-

No, you just didn't read my entire post. Try the second link...

Matt:
I like that resizer software also and it's currently being supported!

Looks like I may have to do some carb work on the 129, it keeps putting tanks of gas on the barn floor, most likely 'cause it sets too much these days. That's the original carb, I swapped with the carb off the new replacement engine, because the new carb had no HS adjustment. I may have replaced the needle and seat sometime since '85, can't remember it if I did. I DID do the throttle shaft repair (full kit), I think that's getting loose again. I did the neighbors last year, Kohler kit was $39.00 from our local auto parts. It made such a difference with his JD, he about fell over.

Gerry:
Thanks, I did the install.

Gerry:

It's perfect. A good visual is great every now and then. I can even make out the part number on the instruction sheet. Thank you!

Mike - I can't take credit - Matt G. is the one that mentioned that program...

Keith: As was mentioned in the thread where I posted that picture, that kit was for another style, it wasn't far off got the 48" deck, though.

Mike B - Are you running Home

or Professional ?

Professional has an "XP Mode"

 

[mbrennan]

Home, but I did load the 2nd choice. Thanks

Regarding my deck question. I guess I meant to say will the carriage on my 108 support the older center pulley deck without modifications to the deck?

Hello Everyone, New guy here from Illinois. I just picked up a 1961 "O" and the front grille brace is missing. Does anyone know or could measure what size the steel is the strap brace is made of ? I'll just make one.
Thanks, Bob

I got the front trailer hitch finished. I really like it. It takes all of the fun out of backing a trailer.

Is this what you wanted Marlin? It's not much of an "action" pic...I was just trying it out for the first time.

I'm thinkin your going to need a spring assist on that thing!

Wayne, nice, looks good yellow.

Christian, WELCOME!

You posted in the correct location, for the Original anyway. Place an add in the classifieds for the replacement engine for your 582.

Mike B., good looking 108.

Wayne, nice job.
