I have a 997, too, and LOVE it passionately. I use it on our 39 acre property about 2-3 weekly. It's one of my chores I actually look forward to doing. My only regret is that I didn't opt for the 72" deck. Having the deck extend well past the wheel width would make mowing tight areas much easier and would make for less time having to finish off with a string trimmer.

Thats a real nice 997! Yanmar builds great diesel engines.
Thanks. We just got one, and I just started using it. and the manual is 92 pages.
As an owner of a 997, I would suggest installing a rear bumper guard, The cost of a new engine cover is staggering,
environmental alternative use that John Deere 997 d lawn tractor
yeah nice tractor. WHERE IS THE OLDER MODEL!
