I think if it were me I'd trade off the super you just got, 1864 w/ a 54 is about as good as it gets. What advantage does the diesel give you? About all I see you gaining is the dual hydraulics (which I understand, I'd like a dual stick by winter myself). Thinking the diesel could be harder to start in the winter too.
Does he deal much with Cyclops? I thought he was almost all IH stuff.

IDK if he's a member here or not, I didn't ask. And it sounds kinda like he does deal primarily with IH stuff, he didn't mention much CCC he had. As for the 1864 54" combo being about as good as it gets, I couldn't agree more. Plenty of power and the best thing is that TIGHT turning radius. I would love to have dual stick on it, but it's not necessary. Oh suuurrree, in the winter, it'd be nice (I plow my driveway plus numerous neighbors as well as our 10 acres of sidewalks at work) but then again, getting up to switch the blade keeps me warm and the blood pumping, at least that's how I justify it
As for trading off the Super, I don't think I'd do that, get rid of it, unless it was for another Super. Here's why, and it's a little bit about me and my hobby: As long as I have one "worker" machine (right now that's the 1864, would have been the 1512), the rest I have are ones I want, ones that really interest me, or I think are just plain neat. Hence the Super. I don't really NEED a 22hp large Cub (it's too big for mowing the neighbor's yard and almost for some spots of mine) but for some reason that bigger stature, those black fender flares, the bigger tires; it just makes me giddy like a little kid riding around on it
He ended up getting back to me. His final offer was the 1864 with 54 deck, 54 blade, and a qa42a plus $800 for his 1512 and power angle blade (but no deck). It wasn't a horrible deal, but I politely declined. Diesel or not, to me, that was a lot of good hardware I was offering up for, like John said, a 25 year old tractor. Another deal will come along, they always do, but for now, I'm going to go home and have no regrets about what I've got now
