Welsome to lmf! great info on here! and cool mower! them things are like wheelie machines when the deck is off. bigger wheels in the front would look sweet too.

:welcome: to LMF! I don't know if the mower can handle it or not, but if it can, I would definitely put larger front tires on it!! :thumbsup:

A friend of mine has about half a dozen of those parked out in the iron pile. About half of them are Toro and the other half are Snapper. He still has his newest one that is a Snapper I think. The front steering wears out on them after quite some time.
