Collar spindles but not the thin axle. Martin thinks it may have been changed out on the recall.
Funny thing, the original tires front and back have near zero weather checking. Only one thin line on the outside of the left front tire. If I remember right Martin said that the tractor had sat for many years in a warehouse in NYC. It's never had a mower deck on it, doesn't even have a front pulley on the motor pto shaft. Rear hitch looks like it had a ball installed at one time, and the front of the frame rails have had something bolted to the outside of the frame. The four bolts (two per side) that would be for the mower deck hangers have never been removed. It would be fun to know the stories if the little tractor could talk.

I typically nickname my tractors, like Skipper for the 782 that drove me nuts with a engine miss, or Turbo for my 782DT and Bear for my 2072. Any suggestions for the new O ? I was thinking maybe Quad for 4 digits or Recoil. Let's see who can come up with a good nickname.
