John Deere S82
« on: August 26, 2011, 11:22:30 pm »
Here is my John Deere S82 mower that I am building. It has a stock 12.5 hp briggs in it right now. I still have more chassis work to do. But this is what its going to look like. Pictures of the build to come a little later.

If your going to lower the seat that much then you might want to shorten the steering colum... or it'll take your teeth out..

Squidd: I thought about lowering the steering wheel but it is about perfect for how tall I am. Big Mike: Its was a chain drive came stock with the 700 transmission.
