Hi. I have a 775, and questions. #1- It has standard turf tires on it now. I dont have a mower deck and I'm not too worried about destroying the yard since we mow with a 1 ton tractor. Now, these are tough little machines, but will a lug or agriculture style tire over stress my transaxle? I dont think so, but I'd rather be sure than be tearing apart a stripped rear end.
#2- I dont have a sleeve or three point hitch, just a standard pull hitch. Is there a plow made for this, or should I just buy one and modify it?
#3- Which forward speed on my standard transaxle is the same speed as reverse?
#4- My last idea is un-needed, complicated, useless, and strange, but here it is. My neighbor is giving me the front leaf springs out of his pickup truck. I want to cut them down and shorten them, then use them to 'lift' the rear of my mower. I want to connect the springs to the frame, then the transaxle unit to the bottom of the springs. However, this will lift the rear of my frame, and my hitch, which is connected to it. Can I just weld a piece of flat metal to the rear of my transaxle and drill a hole in it for a hitch, or should I lower the standard one? Yes, I realize what I'm getting into by 'lifting' my mower, and I'm prepared for it.
