    Default new member; new toy

    hi everyone, i used to be fasinated with these machines about 4 years ago and wanted one in the worst way. I had to opt for a new john deere 790 for its weight , backhoe size, and more power. I recently came across one however and had to have it. Its a vintage (1990?)418 with an 18hp briggs. i think its a slightly heavier version of the current 180. I only paid $900 with finish mower and front bucket. cool huh!! i have a whole list of things i'll be improving on:
    - Roll bar w/ canopy
    - new 3 spool hydraulic valve with auxillary
    - rear counter weight
    - bigger tires
    - new paint
    - new muffler
    - new headlights
    - current style quick attach
    - new implements

    I will be keep everyone posted
