This was fun! Although I still have no idea how to attach my mower deck or engagement belt size and it’s proving tough to come across lol

[@WolfeOutdoors]

Love it lol. I recently purched one with a Tiller.

Found out mine’s more rare than I thought it was, it has variable speed, headlights, hydraulic implement lift, hood latch, chrome exhaust cover, large muffler, and wide rear tires!

[@Redsr5]

Is that rare ? I just picked on up like that for 100$ and it runs mint and looked mint . It’s exactly like the one you mentioned

That tractor looks good enough to pull some Russian tanks.

We had one in Northern Canada. The minute the snow gets a bit moist from rising temperature, it does not have enough power to push the wet snow away. Snowblower or basic plow. The snowblower gets clogged. The plow just stops the tracker after wet snow accumulation. In any weather below 32 *F or 0*C, it will not start.

That really surprises me. I bought mine in Michigan and used it for 5 years in the winter to plow and never had an issue. I had wheel chains and I even plowed our side street and the heavy snow build up at the end from snow plows plowing the main street. I did have to use a full size car battery that I mounted on the back for starting. It would not start on the small battery that it was built for. And starter fluid sometimes. But I piled up wet snow 4-5 foot high on the sides of my driveway. Are you sure you had a 12hp? They made them smaller with less power. But the 12 was a monster. I have another one with wider tires, if I had used it with wide tires it would have never pushed snow.

@@mrdogpoopunleashed Yes. I'd swear on the Bible. We had chains too...

I tore up my foot on my friend’s lawn tractor’s air intake. It was a rotating death trap.

[@megaaggron9778]

I bought one, the steering broke before i got it
