Took a a nice Sunday drive today to pick up my latest KIJIJI find. Nice 48" deck from a 716H. Guy still has the tractor but only uses it in the garden now. Mows with a green thingie so he advertized the deck. Very straight with little surface rust and no cracks or dents. Arbor bearings seem to turn smooth but needs blades and rollers.I think I did OK at $75 and a nice country drive.
Money can't buy you happiness. It can however buy you a beer. And that is close enough.
Biggie rat threw in a nice flat bed 42" mower that I believe to be a 1690022. It had some welding on he bail assembly but the deck is in excellent condition. I was disappointed that I did not have enough room to put it on my trailer and had to leave it at my brothers. but it had worked out good because Jimmy has already had a chance to start cannibalizing it for his mower.
