I know this may cause some heated replies but....
It appears to Me that New Deeres such as the new L series and more importantly the LT series, are AYP machines.
Before anyone flames Me, hear Me out. I've spent hundreds of hours under alot of Deere L&G tractors. From 1970's 140s (what a tractor!) to 318s(another great one!), stx 38s, and New gen Liquid cooled Kawis etc.
The LT 133 has a deck that has the pulleys on "stalks" (for lack of a better word) just like the MTDs and AYPs, also the hoods on the Craftsmen (ayp) Deluxe lawn tractor, are nearly identical to the LTs. The AYPs built for Husky and Craftsmen and these "new" Deeres all have that same cast iron front axle, the same turning radius and the same cup holder! I was pretty sure the Sabres were AYPs, but the more I look, the more I'm convinced that AYP is building alot more than the Sabres of a couple of yrs. ago, for Deere.
I'm curious if anyone with some real inside info, can confirm or dispell these suspicions. thanks.
