Let's See Your Lawn mowers
Yeah, that's right!! Let's see your lawn mowers 
1983 Deere 130 w/11hp Kaw. Other than normal maintenance nothing has ever been done to this thing, knock on wood
(My Dad bought it brand new and gave it to me last year)
Mods:
Beer Holder, bungee cord on brake pedal so it springs back, wire to hold deck height selection lever, fresh air in right front tire every 2nd mow

This one is like my yard cruiser.
They are best for level ground{not great on hillsides}
18 horse Briggs Vanguard twin. I've had no problems outside of routine maintenance, and a couple of wore out deck bearings, a tension spring and two belts.
It's been a great mower 10 or 11 years of great service and hoping for ten more at least. Mine isn't as shiny now, at little rash here and there.

Mine right now is the one Stealth posted. Just bought it last year.
But OP - the old Crapsman I posted in the other thread had the EXACT same mods done - the bungee, wire, beer holder... weird (the only thing was it was the right rear that always needed air)

JOHN DEERE. You know they use Kawasaki engines in those things? BUT, never had a problem with it. Anyway, my second one, I use to have the 112.

That's top secret, I never show the outside lol - Alright, here's one, nothing exciting - It's faster than my tractor tho, pulls more as well. The Deere is too light up front - needs Wheelie Bars. She'll rear right up on yuh.
