Well, they must have been, because that is exactly where we ended up. He was asking $2000, I offered $1500, we settled at $1650. Picking it up tomorrow.

I don't suppose you're interested in selling the tiller ?

I don't think so. My plan is to sell my brand new rear tine tiller that I have used for about 4 hours total and use the WH tiller. Let me try it and see how it compares, and then I'll decide. Get back to me in a couple of weeks.

Beefy deck sounds......nice.  The crocs really had to go though. Bad news there. 
Nice deal on the tractor though!

​I thought I would never get it on. I had to jack up the front of the tractor to get the front deck wheels past the front tractor tires. I have to see if I can find the user manual, or a video, surely I am doing something wrong. The deck was so high it hit the undercarriage of the tractor, I wonder if it is the correct deck. And the lift doesn't seem to lift much of anything, though it did lift it to lock it in place

Easiest way to get that deck under that tractor is to drive right up and over it...

Seriously? Because I thought about it, but didn't know if it would break something

Drop the gauge wheel setting in the back of the deck all the way down (front too if they adjust), and turn the tractor wheels all the way to the left.
You will probably still catch on the mid-mount attach-o-matic, but with a little wiggling, it will slide through.

​That is what I did, but it did catch on the mid mount, and there was nowhere left to wiggle, it was jammed against front and rear tires. 

 

I did seriously consider driving over it, but was afraid I might crush the belt guards. If that isn't possible, I will have to buy one of those mower lifts that lift the front (or back) wheels. I don't plan to struggle with it every time, I'm too old and decrepit for that.  :)

Yep place a couple of boards to make it easier to get up on the deck, then drive right over. Make sure your lift is up so it won't catch.
Also when you get it all hooked up the lift will only lift the front of the deck. The 60" do not really do not lift all the way up like the 48" and smaller. My 60 mowed great but was just too much deck to keep messing with and put a lot of wear on the tractor. The 60 is a battleship of a deck. Just be careful when doing any maintenance or lifting it. The weight of that thing makes it very easy to get hurt.

​It is a beast, that's for sure.
