    You’re my new hero... I need to sell my old JD LT150, but after watching this I’m gonna go F that thing up... probably fail miserably but I’ll drink a bunch of beer and have fun doing it.

      Is it a hydrostatic transmission? If so you can pulley swap it like this but they don't last long

    I would like to say thank you for an idea that you came up with for your shifting linkage. As I was stuck with mine and I saw what you did with the 3/8 socket and from there I was able to finish my linkage thank you

      Carefully remove and clean carb. Take lots of pictures and work over a bench with cloth cover so parts don't bounce away. NOTE how Linkage goes.

    Way too much Camber!!! Adjust carb. Engine pulley is not likely 2" Probably 4. Cover the 9" pulley completely. Put suspension springs back under the seat. Runs Ok, Change Camber...new spindles, new attempt at slight camber.
