They are plenty strong too - which my back appreciates.

Have you considered an electric lift? I'm in the hunt for a 1200 and scavenged an electric lift out of a 1250 parts tractor.

Good luck,

I do everything myself except on this tractor I had many of the parts sandblasted and primed professionally (well, maybe not so professionally, but I did pay to have it done!). I hadn't thought about an electric lift. I won't be putting a blower or tiller on this tractor, so a spring assist would handle a blade or deck OK.
