1554

[sjm108]

I have a chance to get a super buy on a 1554, not sure if it's the GT or The SLT model. My question is what is a GT transmission because that is the only difference I can see betwwen them. I haven't seen the mower yet.

I think that the 1554GT has the heavy-duty 2000+ series tranny where the SLT doesn't.

The 1554's have the same type of hydro-gear transaxle you'd find in a sears GT. Belt drive, no spin on filter, etc. IIRC- the 'SLT' has a nicer seat and fender grab handles.

I should have let this one up to the "Cubbies!" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Once I read your post I realized that they don't have the 2000+ tranny since they are belt drive. What is in the SLT.... the same as the 1000 series? Have you physically looked at them? $400 difference for a little tougher trans. seems high... and if the SLT has a nicer seat.. the SLT seems like the better buy unless maybe you are using a bunch of attachments.

As far as I know, the only differences between the 1554 "GT" and "SLT" were cosmetic. Not sure why CC describes the transaxles differently between the two /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif If I remember correctly, CC has phased out one of the two and keeping a single 1554. They are definately a LARGE comfortable grass cutter for the money. Dont get one for heavy-duty work or serious hills.
