Re: Hello from SW MO

Just be careful....I have found they come apart so easy... putting them back together....well..not so much :lol: Ha! Ain't that the truth :) After fixing up and selling a 1450 and 682, I figured I'd be content with the 1863 + 54" but to be honest, it's a bit too refined for me. I see a 50" deck and...
