Hi Larry,
I read about half of your BMP restoration thread yesterday before I decided to pull the trigger on the LGT145 I bought last night. You convinced me that 1) it can be done and 2) They are a tractor worth owning. I had been looking pretty much exclusively at JD for my new acre yard but I saw this deal come up and read a bunch of your thread and decided to go for it.
I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind me asking. First, how did those non-OEM motor mounts work out for you? You mention in the post that you had to drill them out, was that for the 4 mounting bolts or was it for something else? Second, did you ever run into a reasonably priced muffler for it? I look at what they want at Messicks and just about choke. I'd like to have something that looks correct, but I'm not THAT interested.
Thanks for a great thread and a ton of great information.
Al
