I also wanted to say that I grew up on my 1000 which some neighbors owned in Illinois. They had no children and had a meticulous 2 acre lot that my brother and I maintained. They gave me the 1000 sometime in the mid 2000s. I will never get rid of it for sentimental reasons but I really wish it was a 1200. In addition to the 1000 they also has a 122 that they bought new. The additional 2HP really made a difference.
You have a very nice model. I hope you get it repaired and back in service soon. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask.
