Well, I'm not sure what did it, but after a couple months of waiting, the PO came back to me with a much lower price on the 3212H I was bird-dogging earlier this summer. I'll have to make some room again, because this one's a keeper. Runs good, drives nice. Newer tires. Everything is good and tight. Gettin real picky, the only Issue I have is the sheet metal. I don't have a desire to redo this one, but the hood and seatpan make it look like a victim of a roll over accident. It's tough on my eyes, and I may be able to save the pan, but I'll be looking for a new hood. It really looks like it flew off going down the interstate, and was retrieved. (I have an Allis side panel that will be painted for over the hydrolift)
Overall, I'm thrilled to have a machine with the Vickers, and the only one I really would like to still add to the collection would be a small frame. The 48" deck is a welcome addition.

| I'm always late on things like that. I'm in no big rush, but will be keeping my eyes peeled. Might even bang on it first to see how well my metla work can be =] |

 Rich, time is on sale right now at Wally World. Look in the aisle that has sailboat fuel and submarine screen doors. Bottom shelf on left side. Dave. |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

Pick up some extra and send it my way! Ill cover the shipping...shouldnt cost much. =]
I went down and did some mowing with her last nite...wow...that tranny is sweet. Im in love, for sure.
There is a couple things the deck needs to cut right. The belt is wrong, and on the smaller of the two pto pulleys, so I will be picking up a new one. Also, two rollers are missing, and the bar the roll on isnt right...too short.
I spent some time adjuating the seat pan, and discovered its bent and has some busted welds. I think now that I will need one of those prior to a hood, to avoid sitting with my weight on the fan cover.
Runs like a champ though! How fast do these go in reverse? |

If only I hadn't sworn off going to Wally World! Maybe some other store will match there price! I'll be sure and share the good deal if I find it Josh, I'll use a flat rate box and stuff it full. My submarine could use some new screen doors too, hmmm. |

I'm curious...Larry, maybe you can provide some insight. How fast is reverse on these? It hauls the mail in forward, but reverse is S L O W . . .
Maybe I'm just getting spoiled by the speed of the machine, but reverse just gave me an odd feeling. |

Likely just needs the linkage adjusted as it's not allowing enough movement into reverse. |
