Yes, it's a manual. Logically I'd think a manual tranny would hold up better, but I see guys around here swearing by their hydros.
The deals I'm looking at are -
#1 for $750 - a pair of 147s, 1 running, the other for parts. Includes wheel weights, chains, tiller, plow blade, 2 mower decks, and a trailer.
#2 for $450 - a 122 and a 127, both are taken apart and soda blasted. No acessories. The guy selling was going to restore them and use for tractor pulls, but got laid off when Hostess went tits up and needs some cash.
I'm inclined towards deal #2, but there's a pile of goodies that come with the 147s.
