You all are very kind. The 782 was restored by a farmer I used to work for. He sold it to me a couple of years ago. The engine smokes a bit, bit it is a nice mower (CCC machine, so it has the aluminum rear).
The 1450 belonged to a member of another forum and was restored by him. Very, very nice job. I tilled about 20 feet last night to try it out, as I couldn't help it, but didn't want to dirty it up too bad before winter. Wow, what fun. It realy leveled part of the ground where my septic lines are nicely.
I moved on the acreage 2 weeks ago. Then a mainline blew in the basement, so we haven't had much fun yet. Can't wait for the big garden though. We are the first family to own this property that wasn't part of the orignial family since 1921. Very special to have done that.
Looking forward to becoming part of your group!
