Pic's of the SK486 I picked up last night

[bo dawg 516]

Its rough and dirty but shouldn't be a problem, just a little work. Needs new muffler, been welded to many times. Like I said in my earlier post rode hard put up wet! BUT was garage kept, just never cleaned up.

Deck is pretty rough, I am going to spend some time this weekend and dig in to it and see what all I got.

Change the oils and try to clean up a bit. I'll know more then if I will be cussing and kicking or smiling. Not too sure.

PO said the 48" deck rusted through and pullies fell through so he picked up this little 36" and put on I think just to say it had a deck for the sell. If I knew it was in this shape I wouldn't have got it. Little too far of drive for me for this.

So, If I'm reading the model list correctly...that's a one year only model?

Nice tractor, so I take it this model was to use up old hood stands and hoods laying arround the factory, by 82 they should have been well into the black hoods?

I wouldn't doubt that a bit. But she's a solid one! I'm surprised they didn't put the engine on the pan.

Its a beautiful machine!!!

[Hydro 131]

Nice find Bo dawg!

I am curious to know what the differences would be between this tractor and the 416-8? I realize the 416-8 is a 400 series as opposed to an SK series but what does that mean between the two models? I recognize the later 416's came with a Magnum and this one is a K series Kohler.

Thanks
