Well Slick, you're shy some information here ! Are you planning to replace the "frame" and re-install ALL your components onto to the "new" frame, maybe you're thinking of welding a new section of frame on, please clarify, also, the IMPORTANT info is lacking, see example and provide as much info about your machine as possible, ( JD 265 is just your SERIES ) a few pics would help a great deal also. Finally, what is your plan thus far. Please help US to help YOU !!

Well i plain to re install all the old components on the new frame.

OK Slick I found this much so far, it looks to me like you can use a frame from any years from 1987 up to a 1994, ( NO guarantee) I'm not familiar with JD Mowers. check this info over to see if it's the same as yours, I would suggest you search any local mower junk-yards and look on craigs-list for a mower with a blown engine or trans. ( provided yours is good) or selling for parts, maybe even a local mower shop might have something,

i think the 240,262,265,275,285 were all the same frame. The 320 was close, but Im not sure about it.

Is this the bit that is broken ?

If so depending upon where it is broken, a simple weld might save a lot of time & effort.
Engine out most welders should be able to do the job easily.

Acording to the JD parts web site ( always dangerous ) the - 240, 245, 260, 265, 285 & 320 Lawn and Garden Tractors all ran the same frame
The only difference appear to be the engine and tranny

Those all envoled with bad frame on the 265 johndere. Iwent ahead and weld the frame. I can,t find good frame so i weld it.Thanks for the info.
