Here is my story, 1999 picked up my first tractor (Scott's 1642)
Ran it for 10 years, good machine, neighbor drove a CC, he got his used, it out lasted my Scott's. I did abuse the Scott's, left it out all summer.
This year I needed a new tractor and went w/ a CC, got it home, went on line only to find out there were a lot problems w/ CC. Troubled, I searched for 3 weeks for a positive CC review. Never put gas in the new machine, thought about bringing back! There was this thing about belts comming off, and decks rusting out, I was almost on my way to TSC to get my money back when I decided to look for the right JD as a replacement, JD had 80% more complaints than CC. I realized my searches were only pulling up complaints and thats when I found MTF. I did a lot of reading and found a cult like following of the CC, when I saw the Orginal I fell in extream like. I went to TSC, told Kriston, if my tractor fails me in any way for 1 year I will bring it back and expect a full refund, without hesitation she said "OK". Went home put gas in my new LTX1046VT and cut the grass, what a awsome machine!!
So with my new CC I started posting on MTF, thinking I was a well rounded tractor owner. Little did I know, I was just a pup, when I accidently posted on a Tractor King/Queen thread about a Weed Eater I felt like my head gotten bit off. I then started to read more post less, the Orginal was still on my mind. I started looking around, asked guys at work, showed pics to strangers, trying to find an Orginal. One day a guy calls me about an old CC, it was a 15??, but I thought practice first, Orginal second. The guy wanted $450.00 so I went to look @ it, the price went up to $500.00. I sent my friend back to work on the price for me, he calls me back and says hey he has older CCs in the back, only $100.00 and $150.00, not sure what model.
Found a 125 CC in this guys back yard, the price is suddenly $250.00!!!! I was mad!! Over 4 weeks I tried to get him down on the price, finally got it for $125.00!!
