I found our Kubota TG1860 diesel mower at a John Deere dealership years ago, a lone orange tractor in a sea of green. Due to the Hydro-Gear transmission being shot I got it for a steal, rebuilt the hydro and mowed for 12 years. I also added a drain plug so I could drain and replace the oil. Kubota says the unit is filled for life and is not user serviceable. Yeah, right!
Recently the transmission started to lose power and even stop on inclines so pulled it to rebuild again. Like last time the directional and drive cylinders were worn (5 and 7 piston cylinders in foreground below), allowing oil to leak past the pistons. New cylinders should be here tomorrow and we’ll be back in business for another 12 years or so.

No cool mods to this unless you consider the rubber “plow” I made for the front of the deck to knock down mole mounds. Reduces rock consumption by the mower blades considerably….lol.
But fun fact, it’ll do a wheel stand pretty easily!

My trusty garden tractors. Well, I guess only one is trusty, lol. But I really like two of the others too... one will possibly used for some of the parts.
Bolens Husky 800- has a mower deck, tiller and a dump bed. I really like it, but the carb has been giving me fits for years.
John Deere 325- it takes every bit of abuse I throw at it and then asks for more. Like, serious abuse. Has a mower deck and a snow plow. Only "mod" is the fresh tape on the busted plastic hood.
Cub Cadet 147- it was a mowing machine with a very torquey, but worn out Kohler engine. It's waiting on me to put a new replacement engine back in it.
Cub Cadet 127- I never really got along with this one. It ran and mowed ok sometimes. I haven't tried starting it in years. Probably a parts rig.
