Well I found this 1806 yesterday. Went and picked it up today, It's been sitting for several years. The clutch went big time and the guy though the motor went so he parked it. The tins are in good shape just faded from sitting outside in the sun. The tractor has 502 hours on it. I had a little time so I checked compression and it has lots of compression. The clutch is completly distroyed. But I don't care about that. This one is going to be a donor for the 784 the 18 mag is going in it, I'm going to change the harness and everything into 784 so it should be an easy swap. It has a aluminum creeper, that's headed for the 582
. And it has a very well built homemade spring assist on it, which will find it's way onto the 1282 someday. The tins are nice and the seat is in good shape. I should have everything I need to breath life back into the 784.
Going to try to get it running later after baseball practice. I'll let you guys know what I make out. Oh yea $300 bucks with a 50" deck
