Got the garage a little more organized from the summer craziness tonight. Got the tractor moved into it’s winter rebuild home. A quick glance shows
Hydrostatic trans is leaking at one end
Mower spindle is making a lot of noise
Drive belt is cracked
Front wheel bushings shot
Front subframe bushing shot
Lower steering wheel bushin g has excessive play
Tierod bushing are dead again
Engine leaking oil(l (looks like sump gasket)
Headlight switch missing
Tires cracking and worn
Front grill cracked which allows good to open too far
Excessive resistance in regulator to battery cable
Forward/reverse lever is really sloppy
I have a plan for most of it. Some upgrades and some replacement parts should do it.
The paint is pretty rough but a little meguirs ultimate compound should clear it right up.
You can see the clean spot on the hood and just make out the extra shiny dirt on the headlight

With all the things you list, as needed repairs, it sounds like a death trap but I bet if you left most of them, you wouldn't notice much difference.

Most of them aren’t that bad but if left alone they will cause problems later on like the hydrostatic unit leaking. The steering ones are mostly just annoying .

Yeah, hydraulic leaks are bad and possibly very dangerous.
That’s clean mower, good luck with the repairs!
