Ahh yes, makes good sense. Nice to know you're down under! ;-) How's your winter going down there this year? I have a friend -on a forum in the UK- that lives in Perth. Up here in MI, USA, the JD dealer wants $65 for the wheel-to-wheel connecting tie-rod w/the all-in-one-piece ball joints.

Hello farmermark, I'm new here too and just wanted to say I enjoyed reading your re-introduction post, and will be looking forward to reading about your restore project over the winter. As I would love to do the same, someday, with our 20 yr old GT225. So I'll be watching for your future posts...

Thanks again for info. Just today I was wondering about that rubber end piece; wondering if our ex solenoid did have one, and if it disintegrated over time and/or did come off and may still be stuck up in there. So thanks for heads-up on that; I think I glanced in there once or twice—when the...

Hey, no need to apologize ;-) I just really appreciate all your help & suggestions !;-) I feel kinda dumb for not knowing what I'm talking about. I should've looked closer at them, but connection is still solid; wheel control isn't loose; it was just that I noticed that both the black rubber...

Maybe I'm not referring to the correct thing. What I was asking the JD parts guy about...was (what I called the tie-rod) that connects from wheel-to-wheel, at the inside tab part of the wheel that accepts the ball joint studs. It was in between that wheel tab - and the tie-rod ball joint end -...

Wow! Great to know that info. Thank you very much, StarTech !;-) I've seen those 25 757 25-S kits at a few online parts sources, but they look quite a bit different than our ex solenoid, and they all have that black bumper/seal thing at the end of the vertical piston rod, which ours doesn't...

Oh okay, thanks very much for those suggestions !;-) The photos were in computer; the image .jpg file properties show: Dimensions 3624x2448 / Horiz Res 72 dpi / Vert Res 72 dpi / 3.43 MB ...and displays at approx 9" wide x 6 3/4" high - on our 15.6" notebook screen. And when I right-click an...

Amen ! ;) Although I'm not really sure what you're talkin' about. But Amen for attitude! I hear ya! ;) Our 2003 GT225 hasn't had that problem, nor any rust, but Amen again on the wisdom and foresight of accumulating critical and/or 'simple' spare parts.

Have realized, recently, that I should've started buying spare parts 3 or 4 years ago ! What's your favorite JD parts suppliers? Ours is a: GT225 lawn tractor w/48" deck— w/Kohler CV15S-41571 15hp OHV engine w/Walbro carb # 75 3349 1205393 Needs: Fuel Shutoff Solenoid Mower deck spindles (two...

We forked over the moolah for a new seat from JD back in 2017. They look nice but of course they sure aren't comfortable; takes me several steps before I can straighten-up and walk right ! ? But at the time, and still presently, there were many on ebay that looked authentic for half the JD price.

Hello to all here. Looks like a nice forum. Have been trying to play mechanical nurse to a 2003 John Deere GT225 lawn tractor w/48" mower deck over the last 4 years. The quality of the cut is still beautiful, even though 2 of the 3 spindles have some big cracks and chunks missing. :~\...
