Thanks to pulse301 posting this 86 Craigslist ad in Smyrna,TN yesterday I was successful picking it up today! It does have a 1996 replacement K-181 that runs sweet and pulls/shifts like it should. Original condition,no checking on the Firestone rears and little on fronts. I did not get a deck and there has not been one mounted since power plant replacement,used mainly pulling a cart...so I'm told by PO. Built late June 1973. Oil behind muffler is from PB Blaster to loosen up and move the exhaust pipe off the grille casting. 120 mile round trip and he was firm on the price...engine and the way it rides sold me!

I'm glad Sam (MrGitrdone41) noticed it was an 86. Congrats on the new cub, it looks great and looks like it was well taken care of through the years. Definitely worth only 120 mile round trip!
