Well took the Frankenstein out for a walk.
I found 3 things I don't like about it
1 The PTO does not have a remote control lever.
2 Tires are too close the mowing deck.
3 The forward and reverse lever is backwards to me.
so I plan to change all of that.
other wise I am Happy with the way it runs.:thumbsup:

Thank a lot for all the Interest.

Bruce, there are plans and pictures of changing the operation of the old style F/R lever to be like the Comm 10 at the yahoo group, L Forward Reverse Lever Conversion:

Thanks Gravely NM :thumbsup:

That mower deck is a more modern "snorkle" deck that is supposed to hold stuff in and cut it up more than the older decks. The older ones have a near vertical rear edge that isn't as close to the tires. Swap out decks and that issue is solved.

Thanks for the suggestion on what to pay for a nonrunning L8.

I love the 2nd photo. It looks like it came out of sales brochure with the tractor nestled next to the picturesque small garden. Very sharp looking tractor. Nice work!

Thanks 2
I need that deck to use in a trailer park.
I have the right gear head but need the reprofit kit for it.
I have a pair or 16" Dia wheels I plan to try them first.
I got the forward reverse changed out to day.:thumbsup:

Did you use a part from a Comm 10 or something for the F/R lever? Pictures?

You've done a great job on that machine. I am still looking for one...

Seems like the gearshaft on the snorkle deck is longer than the older 30" brush hog deck. Did that shaft come with the deck or was it taken off an older deck and installed on the snorkle deck?

Well I have been with out power for 4 days
Got me behind maybe I will get some more time later to play.
The gear head is a 106.
I have the other gear head but not the retrol fit kit
I am trying to fine some one to give me one
Then I can put the right gear head on.
I did it for the fun of it
I put it on just to see if it would work??
I have a set of 16 '' wheels I am going to try next.
There is not enough room between the tires and the shell
The 16 should give another 1/2 inch?:confused2:
