PTO or drive clutch? The drive clutch seems fine, I've yet to test the PTO .

What engine is in that, a Kohler? Looks a bit underpowered, tell me its a 14 or 16 HP. Nice looking machine you have there if it is all original.

It's a Kohler 10hp magnum, I think it will mow fine with the 44" deck.

1050 has a 10hp Kohler Magnum. (K series with a magneto)

The 1050 was wired for headlights.... just didn't come standard with them.

I honestly don't remember this model back when they were new. Dealer dad worked for may not have stocked it. Basically is it a later version of a 582, with a smaller Kohler single cylinder? Was this built the same time as the 1810? The dealer dad worked for inventoried a pretty big jump in machine sizes. He had the small lawn tractors up to around 13hp. Then he jumped up to garden tractors with 17+hp engines. Also stayed away from the diesels. How rare/odd is this model?

Yea its basically a 582 with a single cylinder Kohler, I hear there rare but I've never heard an exact production number.

Just for clarification this has a good 3 speed rearend not the crappy peerless rearend.

It's basically the 1000 replacement. No model like it in the '82 series. It does have an aluminum rear. They were only built in 1985. Not many produced. I can't find any production numbers.... even in my super secret file.... but they didn't make many. My guess is around 4 or 5000. The 1806 was its big brother, also a rare model. I'd like to find one of those.....

There's 1 more 1050 and 3 1806 where I picked this up at, I was gonna go for the 1806 but none of them have good engines that don't smoke.
