I'll continue what I'm trying but it's a slim chance. Don't put a lot into what you were told about the 10 pinions failing. It's true that the 8 pinion diffs are a bit tougher but not enough to really consider. Maybe only on built up pulling tractors. I'll let you know if I have any luck.
had a 36 rd on a C165 --- wish i still had it - - terrific little mower - - makes great cut on lawn -- I just got another old 36 that i have stripped down -- about to go to sandblaster to clean off rust then needs 2 new spindles - - then prime and paint - - they seem to be hard to find -- especially without rust holes in shells
OK no extra charge for the fine patina. My last one you better hope I don't need this for a project.
Check the package 'cause I gotta push it in a hole. The package is already sealed and was supposed to go out yesterday but RJG forgot to go to the post office...

I have a Toro 520xi for sale. Works as it should, about 1,000 hours. All orginal including tires. No mule drive or mower deck. Has a front push blade in decent condition.
The 48" I have is really smooth. I had to replace the center spindle and pulley (NOS). It was loose for the PO for some reason and fouled the keyway. Blades line up perfectly. The chute was cut square at some point as some like to do and I'm indifferent about that but it does dispense the clippings well that way. There was some thinning near the chute and one spot on the left side rusted through that I built up with two layers of 8# woven cloth and epoxy so it's not unmolested but I would be critical to give it a B+ now that I've tested it. I put a new Huskee belt on it this weekend so it's ready to go.
