john deere gt262

Hi folks! Nephew moving west and gave me his ‘92 GT 262. Getting it good to mow. He replaced the drive belt with Tractor Supply one. It is routed correctly. I’ve tried adjusting the pulleys to different spots. He said it’s always done that and it’s difficult to get in/out of gears, but says it...

Any info on this mower? Good, bad, any reliability issues? Thanks.

I am looking at buying a new/used John Deere and I found a GT262 and a 320. Both come with 48" decks and similar options but i am having trouble deciding. Does anyone have any opinions on which is a better model?
