ronscat 2 #1 Posted January 6, 2010 My brother-in-law gave me this to play/work with. The tag was his idea. It has a 16hp twin B&S off of a 582 Cub Cadet for power. I hope to put a 3 pt lift and a hitch to pull things around with: I forgot to say it is an old Craftsman. Thanks, Ron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,339 #2 Posted January 6, 2010 I see the hi/low shift lever stickin out the side so at least its a garden tractor and not just a lawn mower. I've never heard anything bad about there manual garden tractor trannys. It looks cool in that paint scheme . Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpmcleod 4 #6 Posted January 12, 2010 I have two identical to yours. They are really good work horses. One has a 20 hp Onan and the other a 18 hp B&S. I love the sound of the Onan. I put a brush guard on one and I push everything with it. I have spare hoods and side panels if you need any. I have a 20 acre orange grove and they are worth their weight in gold for the work they do. I use them so as not to beat up my Wheel Horses and John Deeres. Good luck with yours. Keep check on your steering arms as they seem to wear quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
