I have an L110 I use year round for all kinds of stuff, it’s great, going to be trying to quiet it down a bit more for winter, I work 2pm to 10pm every day and when it snows while I’m at work, I gotta plow the driveway at night sometimes so the girlfriend can get up the driveway and what not cause she doesn’t have a truck and our driveway is steep and long. The exhaust is loud (obviously it’s a friggin lawn tractor, obviously it’s loud) and I want to quiet it down so I don’t bother neighbors too much as they’re all old people. What do you guys suggest I do? Is there aftermarket exhausts I could throw on it that’ll bolt right up or anything? Lmk what you guys suggest. Im even willing to weld up an exhaust for it if I gotta. But looking for an easier out.

So I do a lot of stuff with my John Deere l110 that’s honestly probably a bit too much for it, hauling a trailer full of rocks, plowing heavy snow, etc, I was thinking about swapping a more powerful mower engine into it and adding a couple 50lbs weights on the rear, from what I understand so long as I maintain the transaxle they can actually handle a decent bit of power, what motor would be simple enough for me to swap and have around 22-25 horse? I see harbor freight and tractor supply both sell small engines, saw a Briggs at tractor supply that had 27hp but it was a bit out of budget so I’m looking at harbor freight. Idk, any recommendations would be appreciated, looking around for used mowers to swap motors too.

Fixing up my aunts lawnmower for her (her pos husband left and now she does most of her yard work herself, I try to help but I’m busy often), he cobbled the old mower deck back together with welds and you couldn’t adjust it, I had to find parts off of other mowers in order to get it back to an operable condition again. she has a Troybilt pony from around 2008-2009, I found a Troybilt pony deck for sale from a 2016 model which was a slightly different design, it fits like it should, but troybilt around that time moved the pto cable placement on the deck so in stead of the cable coming from the back of the deck, towards the front, the bracket is now on the left side of the deck, need to get the correct pto cable for it.

I ordered 2 different styles of pto cable cause I couldn’t find a lot about troybilt pony’s online, which one will work if I’m using a 2016+ deck on a 2008-2009 model tractor?

The cables I ordered (one of em has to fit right? lol)

Id assume depending on if it’s the bolted on one or not I’ll have to put in a bolt and nut but whatever.
