I'm not buying my lawn mower from a big box store. That part of the dream was a nightmare! You need to compare a homeowner lawnmower vs a dealer lawn tractor. Boxstore has no service department vs a dealership with a parts and a service department. Stamped vs welded deck. And on and on.

I do have a zero turn larger than that one a old Toro z master z222

On my L110 i made the gas gravity fed but i am needing to raise it up a hair i welded a bracket to the back of mine to hold the gas tank up but it does need to be up just a hair more my buddy i bought the L110 from i rode it back to his house and he said i fucked it all up by welding on the john deere body and the gas tank out in the open and painted the john deere red he liked the paint job though i took it all apart to paint it

Thanks. That was helpful.

Thankfully there is a John Deere and Cub Cadet dealership in my town. I would never buy from a big box store

Those plastic hoods are junk except for the L110 its all plastic but haven't broke yet or cracked anywhere it probably will though like the others are i epoxied the Lt155 hood best i could do its still holding together now was missing a little piece of plastic don't know where it went but its glued up but were that hood attaches to the mower frame those pieces of plastic keeps breaking so now it needs another replacement and im not gonna get another because it'll just break again because its weak plastic
