OK I am seriously humbled!!
I guess John is a wizard machinist and fabricator of stainless steel.
The Delorean is amazing.
I hope he found the wheel he was shopping for too!
That project deserves an award or something.
Thanks
Foot rest pads for now: Rubber backed rug squares cut to fit.
(I got these when they redid the CVS carpet squares)
I used the harbor freight plastic rivet gun and backed them with a tight fitting washer.
Small world indeed.
You know there are inexpensive replacement wheels available, aftermarket but made in USA. You could see a forum post of mine in tires and wheels ,titled rear wheel rot.
If I go for the foot rests in diamond plate it will be detailed here on the OTT.

Hi Gang,
I have the g 6200, and it has flimsy foot rests that are fiberglass and require rubber pads,
I am thinking of notching them out and making diamond plate foot rests, blue of course.
Any better ideas??
I appreciate your input.
dave
OK guys,
Picture updates:
I bought a new battery, PTO belts, (they were cheaper than the big box store at the dealer), a few rattle cans of paint, and 2 tires also cheaper at the dealer by 11.00 each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the dealer is this nice guy who is local.!!
OK enjoy the pics
Well,
I thank you for the encouraging words.
I can't BELIEVE how different the 2 pictures look, left v.s. right, that I took.
I think the bad looking one is the more realistic to the tractor.
I think it will be :Paint, Tires, Belts, Mow.
It was going to be a donor for re-powering my case 644...
Hey gang,
Whats your opinion of the g6200 I bought today?
I am attaching 2 pictures of it.
The price was 250.00 'cause I know you will be curious.
I did get it running after some filters and cleaning the fuel tank.
I think it's got more HP than me B6200 18 Vs 15 (could that be right)?
Dave
Hey guys,
Thanks for the input.
The tire is still holding it's pressure.
I will look at the turf and field tires but they are seriously expensive though.
Thanks again
I have found a Kubota brand back hoe with the hydraulic pump and controls.
It comes with sub frame arms and a seat.
I am concerned about overloading my B6200.
Can you guys tell me if there was ever one made for it.
If so what size was it?
The seller has no numbers on his.
Thanks for anything...
I have the elusive 20.5 x 8-10 tires on the front of my b6200.
The tires are really dry-rotted, but have some tread left.
So I began with installing a tube which went bad 'cause they only had one with a rubber stem and well I'm an idiot with the strength of a small gorilla and it just broke.
So...
I am sorry, RE:lawn tractors, I should have read your post more thoroughly,
You win.
Oh but I have less acreage, so there's that and well, I don't feel like doing the math, I concede, you have absolutely won, for now.
Well If my murray riding mower counts,
I also have a case 644 wheel loader
so I guess were in a dead tie, unless my 4x4 quad counts, in that case I may have won.
I got this tractor in non-running condition for 500.00 and I didn't use a gun to get it.
I think the seller was overwhelmed 'cause the dealer was NLA on the wheel and
when he asked about a used one, they acted like he was crazy.
I got it running with the help of this Forum!
Rear Right has to go...
No kiddin,
That would the calcium ballast crap.
Let's just say it hasn't been dusty in my dirt driveway much lately.
I probably will do the other side too, now that I know this baby works.
I'm just gonna keep working on this thing until it looks nice and respectable.
