I'm a short distance from So. Haven on Lake Michigan. I purchased my first cc in 1988. It was/is a 129 with a 1a tiller, front dirt/snow blade, 44" deck, and a 'bolt on 36" snowblower.
What a surprisingly refreshing difference from the 7hp stallion that i was having difficulty keeping going!!!
Most of my cc parts have come through 2 'local' ccc dealers and an outdoor power equipment dealer. As you might have guessed, that means a top $ price tag on everything. But 'the bug' has made that all worthwhile. I've added to my stable over the years with a 169, and a 100 and a 127. None ran when acquired, but with varying amounts of work, all have been brought back to life.
I just last month found this forum and have been enjoying the tons of infromation and the helpful attitudes that the info is delivered with!
WHAT A GREAT, GOOD SPIRITED BUNCH YOU ALL ARE!!!
I look forward to reading all the great info that is on these pages and hope that I might be able to lend some knowledge from my past experiences also.
I'm sorry that I hadn't found this forum years ago, but I'm sure happy now that I've found you!
HAPPY CUBBING TO ALL!!!
