something i picked up couple months ago

the picture is not mine, it's the twin to it. 72-76 lgt 100, with the 42" deck 10hp kohler. traded a john deere 15hp 38" for it. very solid just as good of shape as this one. having to rewire stuff, rebuild carb, put a new starter on it. this week i'll be changing the points to a magnetic trigger style ignition. have $70 invested so far lmao. this is a heavy sob. i love it!:mullet:

Oh that's cool! Gotta see yours though, as I doubt it is as clean as the picture.

Go Ford!:D

yeah not as good, the body was really nice...i have actual pics but my camera phone and the computer don't get along. have some stainless steel tubing i'm gonna polish up and use for a stack on it. oh also mine isn't a hydrostatic, manual 4 spd...the guy i got it from has a lgt165 with a pipe-loader.

Cool...Ford LGT's are rare around here. On the older mowers they are mostly John deere, Wheelhorse, a a few Simplicity's.

Of course I am a little biased towards the green stuff:
