Don1977 605 #4 Posted May 11, 2013 I look at the assembly drawings. It' just a typical vertical shaft lawn tractor with a cast iron Wheel Horse front axle and rear fender styled like the 300/ 400 series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whmaverick 54 #5 Posted May 12, 2013 I gave my father-in-law a 265-6speed just to mow with, he loves it, of course I repowered it with a 20hp kohler v-shaft and found a 48" deck for it. Just be warned, If and when it comes time to change the drive belt, it's a booger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 665 #6 Posted May 12, 2013 I passed on it after the owner said it needed a drive belt soon and I saw what was all entailed in doing that....WOW is an understatement.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
546cowboy 302 #7 Posted May 12, 2013 I had a 269H and had to replace that belt. When I went to my local dealer to get one they were very relieved when I told them I was going to replace it. They were more than happy to let me use their service manual. They said it would take them 2 1/2 hours to do it. It took me just under three hours. You would not believe all the stuff you have to remove to replace that belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
