New to me 782

Post by cwcub »

I found this on Craigslist with tiller and deck, non running $50. 3 hr drive but well worth it.

Lol....it's some sort of space aged polymers that turns your old junkyard car (or tractor) into a show room new ride. It's really a form of magic. Big Mike turned me on to this. He used to buy nice looking cars....now he shops for cars at the bargin lot and tries to make them "like new....with wipe new". :lol:

I'm amazed that people will go to 'big box' stores and drop well over a grand on essentially an overpowered self-propelled walk-behind with a seat... when there's machines easily ten times more robust to be had for a hundred or two.... :roll: thanks for saving it! If it needs power... I'll put in a suggestion for Honda GX660. Dunno how easy it'll fit under the hood, but I'm very pleased with it's performance and manners in Loader-Mutt.
Yes, I'm a Mad Scientist... but I'm usually happy, even when things ain't goin right.
