Yeah even my wife who is skeptical of my purchases of these older cubs said wow that deck looks real nice.
Now for a question, I don't really want to put a lot of money into the mosquito fogger KT17, but I think it is just the crank case breather. Are they a dependable engine at this age? The inside of the air filter and down into the throat of the intake is oil soaked. Is it worth it to fix that to keep it in the 682 or go with my original plan and drop the CH18 in? It's up around 1100 hours on the 682. The engine is real clean, and I can tell someone has been into the crank case breather before because it looks like they wire brushed around it and put a bead of gasket sealant around the cover. When running it there is a little oil mist coming up the tube with the air filter off. I'm leaning toward the CH18 and selling the KT17 to someone who wants to mess with it.
