Well all I am getting ready to finish upall of the welding then its off to the paint shop. I am going with white hood and fenders, with a green (not JD) stripe, on a black frame. The mower started life as a 91 craftsman 12.5hp that was my belated grandpas. The donor mower was a early 80's agway, that is where I got the filler strips I needed. The deck halves were on an old cub cadet. I think I have about all the major manufacturers covered with this one lol. I'll try to sit down and get my pics of her out. Her name is Ester, after gramm.
