You can turbocharge almost any ICE that you like. Diesels take to it rather well. However, you have some issues: cost/benefit, and packaging,
The cost of the hardware aside, there will be some fabrication involved as this engine was not available in turbocharged form from any OEM. If you can do it, great, if not you gotta pay the man. One other cost is hidden: Maintainence. Turbos like clean, cool oil. More frequent oil changes would be in your future. If you use the increased torque to do more and harder work, you will also have more frequent rebuilds on everything, and you will have to figure in greater cooling capacity for the engine as well as the hydro. On the benefit side if you just want a cool project, then that's all the benefit you need, but if you seek greater utility then you need to analyze the greater ongoing costs against the actual benefit received.

Move the seat ahead and it's the yellow knob unscrew and check while setting on threads.
yes you can... would not recommend doing so... if the motor is stock it may work fine. when you start to add horses you need to move up to a Turbo 400. but to answer your question you can put a 350 tranny on a olds 455
You can get spark plugs for your tractor at any automotive supply. You might take one of the spark plugs into the store if you are not sure what to purchase. You can also contact John Deere Landscapes in Erie at (814) 455-7850 or visit the website: http://www.johndeerelandscapes.com/ I would recommend you visit the Tractor Supply Store located on Downs Drive in Erie, PA. They have a wide selection of replacement parts and accessories for John Deere tractors.
yes, same bolt pattern. Chances are the 455 buick had a turbo hydromnatic 400 transmission, hopefully that is what your 350 had. If not, crossmember, driveshaft and linkage will all have to be modified or changed.

To repair the power take off cable on a lawn chief riding mower 455 you will need to gain access to the motor. The power take off cable will be there. Once you have access to the cable you can remove it and replace it with a new one. It is best to use the owners manual that came with the power for the exact instructions.
