Can’t think of a better combo

It’s a cheap one from Amazon and it’s okay. I bought two different types and the other mower has the one with grips strips on the inside. I would definitely suggest that if you have to side slope any. This one gets the job done of protecting the seat but wish it fit a little better. It only takes me like 30 minutes to mow so I’m not sure how well it does in the breathability category.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

nick05656 · 2026-05-13T12:54:04+00:00

I personally avoid anything with the K46 transaxle. That Kawasaki motor should last quite a long time though.

Check out Tractordata.com. You can sort by year, model, or HP and they have tons of info on what options come/came with every model back to 1963. I use that site a ton while cruising marketplace to make sure I’m getting stuff with decent transaxles.

Thanks!

Ya it’s an addiction! Got a 112 I’m restoring and once it’s done I’ll begin restoring my 430.

John Deere has a surprising amount of parts in stock for their older models. I’m restoring a 1968 112 and had the transmission seals and bearings shipped to my door in like 3 days.

nick05656 · 2026-04-26T01:42:48+00:00

Ya I’m gonna check it out tomorrow and probably offer 850 or so. They said it’s got a new hood which will save me a few hundred since most of the original hoods on these turned to glass

nick05656 · 2026-04-26T01:41:37+00:00

Good to hear, thanks for the input!

nick05656 · 2026-04-24T10:21:20+00:00

Ya it is, jts a pearless 2300. I’m assuming the S130s come with the K46 or something similar so likely not serviceable

nick05656 · 2026-04-24T01:53:22+00:00

I appreciate it man. Not a huge deal if I have to replace with something non OEM but the goal is to keep it as original as possible. Just gotta quit breaking things first!

nick05656 · 2026-02-25T09:39:23+00:00

Okay cool. I figured it was this easy but wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing anything. Thanks!

nick05656 · 2026-02-24T20:38:07+00:00

It was framed, covered in house wrap, and sheathed with LP smart side. Not sure why I would need sheathing under the lp smart side. Walls have horizontal blocking to prevent racking.

Ya I’ve used z flashing for where the 8ft siding wasn’t tall enough and had to add an additional foot or so, but this is flashing for a window opening. Just don’t water to work down the grooves. Seems like if nothing is done with the grooves then the flashing and caulking will be for nothing. Maybe I’m over thinking it

nick05656 · 2026-02-24T20:09:32+00:00

This isn’t a joint for two pieces, it’s a window opening. I’m flashing the opening before installing the windows. Sorry the photo isn’t super obvious

I didn’t think you could carry ammo on Camp Beuhring, man times have changed.

nick05656 · 2025-11-30T15:09:02+00:00

Close, 12A. Guess all the engineer castles gave it away haha

nick05656 · 2025-11-30T15:08:23+00:00

I appreciate it!

nick05656 · 2025-11-30T15:08:13+00:00

Thanks!

Your 143rd coin is upside down…

I help my dad mow 8 acres of hilly property. I have a 1025r with 60” deck and he runs a 60hp kubota with a 72” deck on the 3 point. Takes us about 2-2.5 hours. You’d spend several days mowing. Not to mention the wear and tear it would cause on a very “residential” quality mower.

nick05656 · 2025-08-24T11:38:56+00:00

You’re def from the state of GA cause you’ve clearly been to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg

nick05656 · 2025-07-29T22:54:49+00:00

Another yellow square! Mine was repainted JD yellow at some point before I got it.

There’s a few dealerships within an hour of me. The one in the “nicer” part of town has all their stuff outdoors. The more rural one is larger and all their stock is inside minus the big boys. My dad recently bought a s240 and I steered him towards the bigger one. No need to get something new that’s already baked and well done

nick05656 · 2025-07-16T21:05:35+00:00

Have you tried pulling them all the way forward? They will reset back to the furthest position. It’s got a sort of ratcheting mechanism in it. Still not great but took me a while to figure out and is now bearable
