Almost to 200 hours (likely by the end of the day today) on my Bob-Cat that I purchased last spring. No issues other than throwing the deck belt twice.
I know the 2002 with the 1998 19.5 Craftsman turbo cool is well over 200.
I can't say for the 2000 LT1000 with the 20HP V twin, but based off 5 hours a month from March to October I am going conservative and saying it is at 360ish.
You probably have a large lawn. I recently had a small backyard (I recently moved) and now I plan to do it I think. that I will reach 200 in just a couple of years)
I had a Husqvarna Z4217 that I bought new the spring of 2005. Sold it last month with 248 hours and still running and cutting fine. The first 8 years I only had 0.4 acres to mow.

I'm up to 264 now. That's with splitting time with my walk-behind unit (hour meter broke on that) which I tend to use more than the Z. The Z will get more use once the leaves start falling more and I start bagging them.

'06 JD L130 now at 600 hours. On second transmission but the rest of the mower is as built with routine maint. Be a solid machine if they'd have put in a decent hydro.
My Toro HMR1600 hit 200 hours in1990 this spring I looked at hour meter and it was at 3333 funny how I happened to look at it right then, original greaseable spindles motor original kohler magnum except for bottom main seal and fuel pump.
Have replaced deck belt twice and belt driving the deck 4 times. Replaced the drive chains and gears once. The steering ball joints wore out after 2000 hrs and were replaced. It has been the best mower I have ever had. Had a few of the cheap yardman mowers and they were shot after 5 years.
