Hello all!

I bought an old SCAG.No idea year or model. The guy said "Looks rough ,but it's Tough!" Didn't run unless you poured gas in the carb. Had been sitting, uncovered for years. 61" deck, Kohler Mag 20 engine. I'm brave and the price was right. As near a I can tell, it is a SCAG Zeroturn SMTZ-61 (1993+ ?) Bought a new carb off Amazon,,re-did the fuel lines , new battery and she fired right up. my plan is to use it in my pasture which is mostly weeds and duck grass and razor grass. I hired a guy with a 16' bat wing bush hog to scalp it. My little 24HP Rhino 4x4 w/ 48" King Kutter would bog down. My only complaint with the SCAG is the cutting speed. I have a 2018 Cub Commercial 60" that we use on my main yard, about 1 acre of St.Augustine..The Cub is FAST around the yard. I'm pretty sure I will need new belts and maybe pulleys in the spring. Any advice on how to increase to top speed will be greatly appreciated !!
