Takes an experience like that with a bad shop to show you how good you have it at the right shop when you find it. If only my boss would understand this concept.

well i just made a wanted ad on craigslist so well see what happens.

i might go and ask about the murray gt in town, i really could use that 820!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bet i could buy the whole mower body with tranny for under 200 so it would be a better deal than ebay.

Still seems like a lot to spend on a transaxle.

For an 820? i think it would be well worth 200. they are so rare around here.

thats for a mower in Tulsa, so a 2 hour drive 1 way and the same price as the tranny on ebay.

Ooh, that one has a big block opposed on it too! Haha. Could probably fix up and sell both decks that come with it and make most if not all of your money back.

Probably could. I should have mighty pick it up for me in his new truck! Lol it's still too far for me . I will ask the guy in town .It's been sitting for a long time and hopefully he wpuld like some money for it. It's basically the same mower as the one on Craigslist but hoodless and deckless.

Wait, did you just say you were gonna doc lock and put axle supports on the transaxle that doesnt necessarily need it? Why didn't you do that to the transaxles you had before that could actually use them? If you would have, you wouldn't be in this situation.

i broke the doc locker 2.0, and the murray 930 was also doc locked version 1. if i get an 820 i will doc lock it and do axle supports to have a minum chance of breakage.

Wow what a story Rich. You sacrificed an 820 for girls. Not worth it! lol!

I’m with you Biggas. You can’t over build something.

Oooh Amish girls....... be pretty happy if she showed her knees lol.

Yeah wheelies have been the death of a few spicers for me.... but an 820? Man that's some major risks to impress a girl.

Walled by this last night. Just thought I wpuld hit the starter button and it turned over so I choked it and it fired right up!! Hoping to put the 820 in this when I get it. (Yeah I know I change my mind a lot.

It's plenty ok to change your mind. That 820 would be a nice install for that rig!

Id probably put the mud lights back on it and ding some lighter tread tires for the snapper. That's the cheaper option.
