Looks clean enough to start right up. And wheel weights TOO! Smoking deal!

They always look especially good behind you on the first trip home!
AJ, tried it out before I painted it so I could "fine tune" it!

James,
The suspension seat assembly is NLA from Deere, here is what comes up when you try to add one to the JDParts web site shopping cart:
The part AM105074 is no longer available. Contact your local John Deere dealer for other options.
They occasionally show up used, but are getting pretty hard to find, and tend to be expensive.
If you find two -- let me know about the other one

as I am looking for one as well.

Has anyone successfully used/modified a zero turn mower suspension seat platform? They are expensive also, but should be more plentiful... Looks like they only have about one inch of total travel, but appear to be adjustable for operator weight so they don't "bottom out"

The other possible alternative is a bit unsightly in my way of thinking, but under $100 at Surplus Sales. It too would most likely need some modification to work on an open frame 300/400 series Deere garden tractor:

Today I had my 1983 John Deere Liquifire out for the first time. About 1000 sleds today at the Waconia Vintage Sled Show. Al Z

Looks like a lot of fun & the only way for me to ski.

Hi guys, I made it home safely from my trip to DC. I did manage to meet up with a couple WFM members on the trip. I got some interesting photos too. I'll post them in my photobucket album when I get time.
I spent the night last night at the plow Wizzard's place in Ohio and was treated to a great home raised & evening meal and breakfast!
Sure beat staying in a motel! I enjoyed seeing his latest 430 project which will be amazing I bet. Also enjoyed meeting his dog a German Shepard named Sarge!

Hey Guys I just have to show off my newest deere. I have always wanted a RF and when I saw this 65 I just had to get it. It looks completely original and doesn't appear to be missing any parts. I even got a bunch of decals, carb kit, and various other items the PO had bought for his planned resto. I know the carb is in need of a rebuild but his baby runs and sounds really solid! I'm super pumped about this tractor! Adam
