my 820 i did the knob(2x) thanks to a person stealing it when they hotwired it to drag my b and hual it off. they left the 820 about 30 ft in the woods from where they draged the b. I have replaced the lights on the 820 on the front... the round 3-4" deals did ok but I do alot of my pasture mowing after dark so i slaped on a set of hella 1.5x 4" clear fog lights i got off a car at a junk yard. I didnt get crazy when i tightened them so with a good set of leather gloves on i can aim them and thats so nice. this past fall I replaced the 400 year old 5ft bush hog that was about to fly apart... you can only bandage stuff for so long ya know... with a 6ft king kutter and after getting it all dialed in i was able to go from cutting in 3rd to cutting in 5th and was getting a better cut plus the extra foot wide so i ended up trimming about 8 hours off my total time. Also stuck on a new northern tools seat... the cover was trash and the spring deal to help with the soft ride was broke. I installed a old school truck style cup holder that you would hook on the door/window frame... its moded a little to fit on the right fender just above the 3 pt hitch ride adjustment levers, and poped out 1 of the blind plug covers and installed a 12v power outlet/lighter.
now if i could get a cup holder on the lawnmower and a knob i think i could almost enjoy the yard work. the 212 could use a new seat also but they are way to proud of them for me to buy 1 right now. if the seat was nice the 212 would almost look new. I cleaned and painted the motor, frame, body pannels, mower deck, had to repair the fiberglass hood and then painted it. she got blades at the end of last year and with the motor work i did shes looking and running like a new deere. I was asked 2 times when i was gassing it up at the store infront of my house how old it was and they were shocked when i said shes in her 20's.
Bradz how did you mount a cup holder? just like screw it to a fender?
