I see you bought the equipment on the Charlotte Craigslist. I offered to buy the trailer from the previous owner. If you decide to sell the trailer, let me know as I am 75 minutes from Charlotte.

Hey,

You did pretty darn good. I have the same engine on my 850 and want to make it go away. The thing is a fuel hog. You could buy a 10 horse Kohler (Lombardini) diesel from earthtoolsbcs.com for around 1700 bucks and still be money ahead. Unless they're really bad, the cables could be rejuvinated by sprying a lubricant like WD40 or PB threadblaster or Kroil into them. I've rejuvinated cables that were froze solid by working the cables outta the sleeve, cleaning out the rust, and lubing them. The brakes probably need to be taken apart and loosened up.

Did you only get the 12 inch wheels or did you also get the stock 10 inch wheels as well?

only had the 12 "wheels, or that s all the dude had with it, anyway.
Anyone have a 26" tiller they'd like to part with? A rotary plow maybe?
A diesel engine?
