Mike, if the price is decent, pick it up. I'm sure you can use/adapt the older clutches to it. I really like my 1050, but my series of choice is the '82 style tractors, so it fits right in. And... I really like gear drive for garden work. My 1050 is my "go yo" machine for toting a cart, sweeping, plowing, tilling, planting, cultivating and more. I do prefer a hydro for mowing and moving snow though. I added sleeve hitch, creeper, spring assist and narrow front tri-ribs to mine. Soon, the engine will be upgraded to a K321.
Stan, the 1050 is a gear drive. Can't use a CV shaft.
