That is nice upgrade even though it was extremely expensive but it's was worth it glad you got up and running again Casey hopefully you will make a nice amount of money when you sell it
I've often thought about a K66 upgrade but only if I bought a cheap lawn tractor off of Craigslist with a bum trans. Even with the price of the upgrade you're still coming out ahead compared to the cheap a$$ big box store tractors. Of course then I'd want some ground engaging implements to go with it.
This upgrade probably made a lot of sense when it was done many years ago, and my guess it was a lot less then $2750 at that time too. It is a definite difference.
Haha that would be a heck of a story! The original owner moved not long after buying it and I'm sure his job paid for the move so why not bring the lawn mower too?
I don’t understand why anyone would not just upgrade to a better garden tractor for that much money in the first place. You would get a lot more than just a better trans for less money more than likely.
With the cost of the transmission now, it makes no sense at all. When the tractor was new, I would guess the transmission cost a lot less in 2004, but still you could have gotten a dealer quality Deere for about the same money most likely (LX series).
@@EllisMowersandmore Hell, I bought a new 2001 GT 3000 Kohler Command Pro 23 for $2700. It still runs and drives although I retired it for a zero turn in 2022. It would cost me over $5000 today to buy an equivalent tractor.
those 10 mm spindle bolts always break off for me but i'm usually repl;acing the spindle anyway
With the upgraded k66 transmission it is a nice john deere L111 nice work on fixing the deck and steering issues

I sold it this week and got a good return on it!
@@EllisMowersandmore glad you got the mower sold and use the money for your next project

audio is alot better. We can actually hear you now!
Thanks for the feedback!
Lolol I fixed a 49 tractor to day and it ran great after a quick carb cleaning and adjusting the points
😊
Very good find and a very complete description.
Lowe's here are having all the riding mowers half priced .
I wonder if they are last year's or discontinued models. I noticed they no longer have Husqvarna riders in my area and are carrying Toro instead.
A tornado probably dropped it off from Kansas and maybe along with Dorothy and Toto
