G'day guys.

Purchased my first ride on the other day, it appears to be of mid 80s vintage and it's a bit rough but the price was right. (no build plate or stamped numbers that i can find).

Anyhow, i have never driven a ride on let alone owned one so i'm sure the learning curve will be steep.

Motor has been replaced with a new 12.5hp b&s (model 286707-4028-02) which has an electric start though i dont have a battery for it as yet.

I'm keen to do the servicing repairs myself as i cant afford to take it to the shop (assuming they charge $80-$100 per hour.

All belts appear to be there but look to be in poor condition with 1 having looked like it has been rolled. Mower goes well in reverse but wont climb much of an incline going forward so some work to do there somewhere.

I was going to start by servicing the engine, replacing all belts and blades (only has 2 blades on it at the moment).

Thanks to Ken at Greenfield for sending me a manual for the mower, though what i'm chasing now is a repair manual.

cheers
