I was hoping they brothers!

lol it didn't have the tiller when i bought it but it had a 44c deck and a 54" blade and chains but i traded the blade for the tiller. then found the blade thats on it in a garage sale this fall and they practicly gave it to me.

Can't beat that!:beerchug:

no they had the blade priced at $15.00 and they were missing the rod to lift it so i told them that asked if they would take less and they said $7.50 since it was missing parts!! lol

Lol
Really can't beat that!!

lol no trying to reto fit a sleeve hitch on it now that a neighbor gave me off a craftsman till i find a cub hitch

I agree, Mike.
