Hello,
I just purchased a JD GT225 to use for yardwork while my Wheel Horse is down.. I purchased this from a small engine repair shop in Port Royal, PA. The tractor is a little rough around the edges cosmetically, but seems to be solid mechanically. Ive done plenty of restoration work and have a small machine shop at home so a "fixer upper" doesn't really bother me. This thing has broken plastics, the rear tins are cracked at all the mounting holes, and there is a little rust here and there on the wheels and deck. All of it should clean up easy and I purchased it for what I thought was a pretty good price for this area. Most of the time you cant even find the later garden tractors for sale around here for more than a day or two.
So now that you have some history.. the problem is im not seeing a serial sticker on the frame where id expect it to be located. Are there any secondary locations where I can identify this tractor?
The problem is, I planned to throw a few hundred into welding up the rear tin, refinishing the wheels, and putting new plastics on to get her back in tip top shape. Almost every parts source requests serial identification..
any help/advice? Based on the source of this tractor, I really doubt the sticker was maliciously removed but obviously cant rule that out.
