I remember the time I would have killed for a machine like that but times changed and I've gotten spoiled by the Cyclops with Hyd/lift, Pwr/str'ing and twin cylinder vibration free engine engines. I remember when I would have killed for even a good used 104.
I don't know what you gave for it. If it was cheap enough, you have a good tractor that will cut grass well. Just don't run it into anything and bust the plastic.
I would rather have that tractor used than most of the new CC's and John Deere's lined up in front of Home Depot.
When you get many tractors like some of us, you can afford to be extremely picky! 
Good luck whatever you do with it. |
Thanks for your
I haven't gotten it...yet. I made the guy an offer for what I felt was fair for it given my new knowledge of the ISO's mounting the engine to the frame. If I get it, cool; I'll fix it up, throw a 42" blade on it and given the time of year, it should sell. If not, there will be another Cub around the corner.
I do agree about getting spoiled with the twin's, power steering, hydraulic lift, etc. It's almost hard to imagine that I started with a little ol' single thumper, manual lift, no power steering, heck no attachments but a deck and now I've got a good solid couple machines. Boy how time flies!!
