I added a rider to mine is all. When you have perfection, what can you do to make it better. :D
I'll be glad when you get that new toy so it will keep your mind occupied.

I cut off the steering levers on my Walker and added a solid handle with piviting ends.

Maybe we could start a lawnmower ZTR drag racing association. Hopefully we could figure out a way to beat those garden tractors. :)

Cupholders (for those that don't come built in already), an umbrella, cooler, fan, headlights, tuned pipe ( aargh, aargh, aargh ) a pvc tube like stone has on his walk behind to hold the "litter getter" or whatever that trash pick-up thing is, a storage compartment for pruning sheers and other misc crap, mount for a trimmer.
Okay, lemme settle down, I'm having too much fun dreaming!

I use my z to fert so i made adjustable stops for the drive arms to maintain a constant speed. There fully adjustable for whatever speed i want also will be nice to train new people
I once had my back quit on me.I put two
trimmer handles on the steering levers.
That way my arm movement was minimal.
Didnt work great but got me by in a hard time.
I was using a front mt MARTY J .
uh oh

For a Scag STT...
12 volt power to the back hitch actuated by a momentary pushbutton in the end of one of the steering control arm, so I can power my pull behind boom sprayer. Also added toggle switch on main control panel to have 12V "constant-on".
OCDC...recently modified from control via a motorcycle clutch lever mounted on the steering lever to a spring activated pushrod/pad arrangement that I can just push with the side of my leg with I want the chute to flop closed. Work pretty darn good and you don't need to take your hands off the controls to activate OCDC.
Cup holder with shock absorbing springs mounted in the bottom so my drink doesn't splash all over my purdy orange paint when I get in the rough stuff ;-). (PVC pipe with wood disc floating inside on top of springs...all mounted to control panel.)
I'm only a homeowner. I hate to think what I'd do with gadgets if I cut for a living! LOL

I'm thinking of adding some of those chrome wheels that you see on golf carts. Would love to find a set of "Cragars" to put on there. Also, a flame sticker on the side of the stainless tanks would be cool. A Lazy-Boy recliner would be nice instead of the stock chair.

I didn't like the artificial grass on my Chopper so I got took off the grass and got spray-on bedliner material put on. It looks alot sharper in my opinion.

I think an ACTUAL cab would be nice. Not like the ones that they make for like Walker and Grasshopper that are like plastic but maybe one with glass windows and steel ROPS/FOPS canopy to support the glass. You can put air conditioning in it, a radio, heater if you were snowblowing, and maybe even CD player.
Chrome would be nice.
What else guys? I can't really think of much else. We could probably come up with some pretty wild stuff if we really thought hard enough. LOL. :)
For those older mowers (less HP), a chevy 454 (I guess a 350 would be OK) motor w/holley carb and a spoiler. :cool:
