Very close to what I want, (nitpicking) Shorter but taller bagger to make backing up easier. Bags on US GR and BX are fine. Odd engine power rating is so much higher than the USA version.

I have trees, bushes, curving garden bed, every shape and sort of obstacle. Narrow areas, fences, 48" wide gates, a narrow (6') peninsula that sticks out in to my pond.

I was thinking..... If you could find a 'dead board' with still good gears, you could swap them in. Failing that, any sensor of the correct threads and mated with an off the shelf gauge would work fine (as Wolfman suggested). Most gauges read a resistance at the sensor (fairly standardized as...

Zero turns, a few neighbors have them. While they turn super sharp, that twisting inside stationary wheel rips the grass off. So I am looking at a BX1880 or a GR2120 The idea of (if need be) the FEL on one and BH on my BX25D is intriguing though in 10 years, I've never had to do be in a...

I have a BX25D with FEL and BH. Its my digging and moving stuff machine. For mowing, I want more manuverable, lighter and dedicated. I do not want to be removing mower deck, FEL, Bagger, BH, on and off with the 3pt arms. So I'll spoil myself with two machines, Is the GR2120 that much...

Thanks for the thoughts. Light weight to minimize compression of the lawn Dedicated mower. No desire to be pulling the FEL and the BH off the 25D then putting a mower on. then swap back again. Old Craftsman (23 Hp Kohler) never bogged down, even had no issue pulling a garden cart grossly over...

At the end of the day... this....

My old (25 years) Sears Craftsman mower has done its' last trip. Mower deck (#2) has rusted out, Time for it to be relegated to pulling the garden cart until the trans dies . Engine runs like new still at 1,450 hour. So... need a new mower/leaf sucker. The Sears did an 'ok' job with the leaves...

Hmmmmm spitballling here.... If you determined both sides (temp and fuel)have the same gear train, perhaps you can find a 'broken' panel that you could salvage from it to mix and match a set of working parts? Looking at your picture, it looks like dirt/mud got in at some point and hopefully...

Our county has gotten 'inspector crazy' (department got massive) but the inspectors, good guys. Permits reasonable priced. Quick to issue and come out and check. But you now have to get multiple permits for a job, no longer one for the whole job. Lot clearing, excavation, footing, floor pour...

They look bent!

I got a 'BotaProducts' remote filter kit. Took me close to three hours (Bota said its an hour). I had recently changed the tank filter so the procedure was familiar. One bolt on the FEL mount had to be undone. 24" Breaker bar and it was still tough to do. No way to get a rattle gun there. Tight...

I'm no welder but.... those are terrible welds, as bad as I would of done.

I've bought a few cheapos from Cabelas. Good stuff for a spot that suffers from abuse.

Thatis my 'hopeful' thinking. I've been treating with biocide, I hope all the critters are dead and what left is the corpses. I do have a stainless 'coffee filter' in the filler to catch leaves and such. Have gotten some, surprised as I keep my filler tank capped and fill in the shop. I am...
