I just picked up this model 86:

This is my second. I had a 1200 several years ago that was in great shape. I always regretted selling it, but I wanted other things at the time. This one came with a really nice 38" deck and is in great shape overall. I'm planning to use it with a snow blade and maybe gardening stuff down the road. Not really wanting to mow with it so if anyone wants to trade deck for a blade or sleeve hitch I'm game.

I have a couple questions but I'll post in the general section.

Great looking 86 you've got there!

Thanks, it is in good shape. The seller told me it has been in storage since 1980. One thing I noticed right off is that the deck runners still looked like new. On the 44c I had on my 1200, which was still in good shape, they were nearly worn through on the bottom.

:Welcome2: Glad to have you! Great looking 86!

Nice 86.

Thanks everyone. Mr. Diz, I like the look of yours (in your avatar). Ultimately I'd like mine set up the same. I think that rear blade would be useful too keeping my driveway in line.
