Hi all, just found this site. I have a mid-70's Ariens S-12 that I have owned since around 1981. It has served me faithfully, but this year the mowing deck cracked and may have damaged the gear box. I am trying to figure out whether I should replace the mowing deck with a new one (model 831031) for $1,200 or just go to a new ZTR and use the Ariens for plowing or other duties. I don't think it is worth much, so selling it may be useless. Any thoughts on this?

I may end up selling it, how in the world would you ever get it from Rhode Island?

I may sell it as I have decided to just buy a new machine.

Would you be willing to part with the tractor? I am looking for another one for spare parts, etc...You see mowing decks for Ariens from time to time on Ebay.

Chad,

Not sure I would want to let it go as a donar machine. I did check your web site. How is your mowing deck fairing? The tractor itself runs absolutely fabulous, its unfortunate that the mowing deck let go. Maybe I will keep an eye on ebay to see if one comes up. Where are you located?

Vettenut,

Mine would probably end up being a parts machine seeing how yours is in much better shape. The mower deck on mine is in really bad shape, but I like fabrication, so who knows. I have a JD165 to cut grass with though. Mine has a KT17 Kohler that has a thrown rod... Long story, got it off Ebay and all the parts were not there after a 100 mile drive. Decided to get it anyway. I live in Charleston, SC...

Chad
