My Modifications

• Mower Spindles







• Mower Spindles Outer Dixon 82-337
• Mower Spindle Center Dixon 82-339
• Three 1/4" steel rings cut to fit the Dixon spindles where welded to the top of the mower deck in recesses to firmly hold them and raise them just enough to line up with original pulley locations.

• Remote Hydraulic Filter
 
• 1x1 angle iron was used to hold the filter below the tractor.
• Original filter element was not available and so the housing just serves as a reservoir now.
• Seat
• Ordered from Northern Tools
• Mount was taken off an old AYP mower to allow spring and safety switch mounting.
• Hoping the spings improve the ride and the safety switch allows my 13y/o son to mow w/o dying. 
• Metal Fuel Tank that I cut and welded out of a large old electrical box cover.

• Old plastic one leaked
