I finally got some seat time in my YM165. I picked up the tactor a few weeks go. Was off this week so had some time to play and do some mowing. So far things look pretty good. I did have to replace the long front belt on the mower. Between and old belt and an unseen tree branch I broke the belt. I replaced it with an A105 107" kevlar belt that seem to fit fine. The old belt was an non kevlar a105 belt.

The one issue I had was with the seat, Either the steering wheel is to close, the seat is to close or my belly is to big. We will not comment on what the culprit is, but the problem is I am to close to the steering wheel. It looks like they easiest way to solve this issue is to move the seat back. Is there an "easy" way to move the seat mount back? It looks like I might be able to move the seat bracket back by drilling new holes but I think I would looose the back fender stays. How important is the back stay?
