Yes. It mimics the original setup that was in the zero turn mower.

Wouldn't reverse be almost a requirement for a tracked vehicle?

Strays can make the best pets.

Nice!

liflod what do you think of the cone style transmission? Is it tricky to adjust?

If I could jump in and ask a question about seals:

Jim, I see you have Max for sale. If the...

I've been doing a lot of reading and now I have a couple questions:

Is it important to get paperwork when buying an older machine? Many of these I'm looking at don't even have engines. I can't...

Hi Everyone. I am in Western NJ and am casually looking around for a 'fixer-upper'-with or w/o engine, frozen shafts, etc. Saw that Sears Sportster in Alabama. Would love to have rescued it, but it...
