Well I finally decided to upgrade from my Craftsman toy tractor to something just a little bigger. Did a ton of research and settled on a Cub Cadet because of their shaft drive transaxle, Kohler engine and it was made by IH. I've got an 86 F250 with an IH designed 6.9 diesel. Did a bunch of searching and found a nice 124 with a 38" deck not too far away for what I think is a great price.
And now I'm hooked and already thinking of what Cub will be next...

** I pulled the deck so I didn't bottom out loading into the truck, that's why it's off in the pictures.
