So I'm looking through the Craigslist ads one day. Noticed that a guy not far away has a pair of Supers for sale, both 2086's. One in great shape with a few options (listed as having the front ports but doesn't and the rear PTO, has the 3point but no PTO hardware) The other in good shape but a blown engine. DUMMY ME doesn't go buy the blown engine unit instantly....... Wasn't thinking of the fact that I have a 22HP Kohler on my current tractor and could have put that on VERY quick to make a 2284 clone...
Realized it a day later but it was sold.

Re: BIG screw up... by ME
Those deals can b frustrating. I try to make myself feel better by really being honest with myself. I think in our minds we tend to glameriz every Cub for sale....Making plans, thinking how we need this, how perfect this one is. But I'm sure I don't need to tell u....Most r not as good as our minds trick us into thinking. Some r...But most aren't. So to make u feel better...I think that one had a cracked rear end, power steering was leaking really bad, and the tires didn't even hold air!
Feel better yet?......
