For trimming around wall and buildings. Cut left end of mower deck about 4 inches in and hinged it to fold up. Cut left blade about 4 inches off each end heated and folded about I inch down at 90 degrees . Drilled two holes one inch apart on 90 degree vert folds on blade and round the hole edges. Install Plastic string trimmer string on each end of blade an trim just inside of deck. With deck folded up and held with bungie you can trim around fences walls and buildings and not spend 300 to 2k on a factory trimmer. You can still change blade back and fold down deck for regular mowing. Old Fang

Dealer said it can't be done. So I installed power steering on Ariens 18 hp tractor. Use 14 or 16 inch Hd steering columns ,generic steering valve and piston from a cub cadet. Feed hydraulics in series from deck lift valve. A cutting torch removes manual steering nicely. A flat metal bar under the frame is perfect for steering piston anchor. Disk brakes never worked. Used brake foot lever to make a rocker clutch that stops and reverses better than brakes ever did. Also lever control covers - I- 45degree the square corners for smooth lever action
