    JD D105 mower

    Hi there I have a d105. I have had it a couple of years only done about 100 hours. I have recently changed the oil and put a new belt on. Just wondering if anyone can recommend any good DIY mods that will boost my mower? I am going to disable the riio switch next after watching a vid on you tube.
