groundhog47 382 #1 Posted 14 hours ago Liked hood on L-156 but didn't care care for ground clearance even though just a few inches. Started a "raising" project, and still working on it. Don't have a pic with new seat and later model fender that had to be slotted for shifter and so on. Used 655 front axels and some 1" 5 lug hubs with my old C-120 front and rear wheels. Still decicing on trans , maybe goin to 6 speed or bigger 4 speed if possible. My departed friend, SPECIALWHEELHORSE, Jimmy Rodgers gave me an engine, still awaiting install. 1st pic is as unloaded 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you mean you used 655 spindles on the original L156 front axle, you're gonna have awesome steering on that machine. The Rangers had much sharper turn radius than thier big brothers. I never really noticed it until I put different wheels up front. They turn very sharp! The axle is narrower than standard, but not by much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,707 #3 Posted 5 hours ago Any effort to save another Round Hood is worth it. Are the rear tires too large as to interfere with the cutting deck?? Looks like it's time to replace the brake shaft seal.... off to a great start there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
