I appreciate that!

This video was worthwhile watching. There is hope for my LA165 with 63 hours. I've been looking around at the new models. Well, after watching your video there will be no new tractor. It's going to be a hell of a lot cheaper tp refurbish mine. Thank you so much for posting your video and showing us your talents and know-how.

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

Glad it helped

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, looks really good

[@philliphall5198]

Looks great, I see you are planning on keeping it which explains why you spent so labor and money on it Nice job 👍

Angel's must be flying around your shop while working on the deck! I just started fix and flipping tractors and every time I try to remove the spindles the bolts snap. When I refurb decks I leave them on unless I have to replace them. I just finished a Snapper LT200 (still an ongoing series on my channel) YT recommended this video. Glad I watched it, good to see others go above and beyond to put out a quality machine vs the cheapest way possible with questionable repairs.

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

Thanks for comment. I do snap a few bolts off the spindles lol.

Restoring, fixing, and flipping is super easy. Selling is the nightmare part, facebook marketplace users are a different breed of people. Just be happy you don't flip for a living (I do😩)

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

I buy it at my local John Deere Dealer. Any yellow paint works.

Awesome Video! Do you use all genuine John Deere parts for restores?

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

I used to, but not anymore.

[@bennyhaha43]

I'd be curious what you had into it, and how much you were able to sell it for.

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

$450 for mower. 450 in parts and supplies. 28hrs labour. Sold it for $1800. I could’ve got $2200, sold it too cheap.
