John Deere GT262 Riding Mower Parts

The John Deere GT262 was a popular garden tractor produced from 1992 to 1997. Known for its reliability and versatility, it was powered by a Kawasaki 17 HP engine. Commonly paired with a 48-inch mower deck, the GT262 offered homeowners a durable machine for lawn maintenance and light-duty garden tasks.

The John Deere GT262 was introduced in 1992 as part of the GT series of garden tractors. It offered a step up in capability from lawn tractors, making it suitable for a wider range of tasks. The GT262 featured a Kawasaki FC540V single-cylinder, 17 HP gasoline engine with a displacement of 535cc. It came equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and variable speed control. Deck width options primarily included a 48-inch mower deck, though some variations might have been available. Key features of the GT262 included power steering and hydraulic lift, enhancing operator comfort and ease of use. The tractor was commonly used for residential lawn mowing, snow removal (with optional attachments), and light tilling or plowing. The GT262 distinguished itself from other models in the John Deere lineup through its combination of power, maneuverability, and features, offering a balance between affordability and performance for homeowners with larger properties or more demanding tasks.
