I've been working on the mower deck for my D200.  The D200 is a '76 and the mower deck is a '96-'97 78260.  I had to fabricate a front hit bar for the mower and a lift arm on the tractor.  Here are those pictures:

Once I made sure that nothing would fall off or fail, I got to work on the grass/weeds.  This was the first time this year for cutting the grass it was at least 12" tall.  In some places it was not only 12" tall but it was a "tall fescue" type of grass that was so thick that I had to mow it at a snail's pace, but the Beast never stopped or failed me.  I did have to readjust the mower belt once.  I have taked the pecaution of ordering a new belt, this one I have was from my father's first try back in '76.  So this belt is almost 40yrs old.  It worked great just as the D-200 did.
