Thanks for the photos, Kraig.
The mowers are not so pretty to look at but they really are the ticket to more free time...
I replaced the decks from the 85 riders with 44" and the 8hp briggs handles it just fine...
So, the 14hp(1450) the two 8hp (85 cadet rider) is 30 HP...driving the 10 1/2 foot cut..
follows the ground perfectly, but, uses a lot of gas..
saves me enough time to do some "back yard Karting" with the grandkids..
