In the end it was all worth it as I have now mowed with it for almost two seasons with only a couple of small minor issues. When you are done with it and start using it you will smile every time you start it up. Keep up the good work and before you know it it will be done. I have around $4,000.00 in my Super since I bought the Haban deck but when I look at what $4000.00 will buy today I have to laugh.

Thanks Tom! I tend to agree... fit and check over and over.. build it like you want it and build it so you don't have to go back and do it again! I'll have a good bit in it... but what I have in it won't be anything compared to what a comparable machine new would cost.. but wait.. you can't buy anything built like these old machines anymore!
