Info on Jacobson GT-16 Wanted

[kjmiller]

I am considering buying a used Jacobson GT-16 garden tractor: 16 hp Kohler engine, fel, mower, chains, weights. I don't yet know how old it is. I'd use it mostly for mowing lawn and moving snow, although I would consider at some point getting a tiller or a small brush hog if possible. Anyone have any experience with these? Any words of wisdom on what to look out for on these garden tractors? How easy/difficult is it to get parts? Anything I've missed?
