Ok I removed the deck and hydro rear end. I have a Mtd front axle flipped upsides down and the mower is just resting on it. (I don't plan on using it, I justwanted to see how much clearance it would have.) and the mower is just sittin on the transaxle .
I have 6 inch clearance here.
10 inches of clearance here.
And 5 inch clearance here.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
