Thanks so much for the ideas everyone. Getting to the QA-42A, it would need the drive pulley changed and a new lift rod to fit my 1882?
Also I can sell the 1018 for $800 firm. Would that be more than enough needed to rebuild the 127 motor and deck?
My avatar shows the 127 and behind it, the "cyclops" 1882, which IMO is a freakin cool tractor.
