You said it Rainbow6! Not only would it be a great tractor for what I need... I'd love to have it even if I didn't need it! It's in great shape for an '84. I cranked it up, drove it around, used everything on it and didn't have any complaints. Everything works, nothing leaks, tires are good, fluids were clean. I didn't get to see the finish mower and blade but like I said in an earlier post, the mower has new blades and bearings and the blade is supposed to look like new.

Thanks for the reply.

Then it lists the HP wrong. Even the plate on the tractor says it has 14 hp....dont know why this would say it only has 12. I find that odd.

Thanks Andrew. Everything I've seen and read (which has been a lot the last few days) also lists it at 14hp.

I think that the discounted ROPS is a CYA approach. It might give them some protection in a lawsuit if they have offered an attractive price and "you" didn't think to protect yourself. I paid about $180 for mine but that was about 10 yrs ago.

I believe that a ROPS is always a good idea.

A new thought. Get the serial number as that is what defines the year model and not the sale date.

Also, if you are lucky enough to buy it, I have the manuals for it. Get in touch and we will work out a deal.

There is an option to search by serial # on the blue book page. Maybe that will reveal a bit more info. I remember seeing these little tractors for sale in the mountain town of Boone NC when they first came out. They were cool then and even more so now!

I just tried to call the guy to get the serial number but I didn't get an answer. I'll try to call him again tomorrow.

Thanks

"Then it lists the HP wrong. Even the plate on the tractor says it has 14 hp....dont know why this would say it only has 12. I find that odd. "

Not necessarily odd. It could be listing PTO Horsepower on the site and other's you've read (including on the plate) are gross engine horsepower.

The other possibility is how the horsepower is rated...is it SAE or the Japanese rating (I think that's JIS horsepower).
