Southern Lower Michigan | Bought one back in the early 80s paid just over $1000 for it Brand New . Just sold it last year for $600.
early on I had to replace both blade carriers, and repair the 3pt lift, and one U joint in the cross drive. other than blades it ran fairly well for the rest of its life here.
It was used mainly for roadsides, lanes, and on occasion , weedy wheat stubble , and light brush (usually not more than 2"). Never had any trouble with the gear boxes.
The newer ones have a heavier built blade carriers, and 3pt lift . For me ,it was a good unit for the money, and my uses
Their original blades were only 3/8 thick, and wouldn't last very long. I was able to replace them with 1/2 thick blades for a Woods mower.
Those blades lasted a lot better.
