Sparky-(Admin) 21,073 #2 Posted February 4, 2018 I'm not positive but I thought the 1996 models were anniversary models and came with the gold "bling" . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docwheelhorse 2,647 #3 Posted February 4, 2018 50th anniversary anything uses "gold" Sparky is correct... 1996. It marked 1946--1996... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,372 #4 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) '96/'97 and I did buy it new spring of '98, an '89 would be a straight front axle not swept forward and console shift not column shift, if you zoom in right below the seat you'll see the 50th anniversary sticker, Jeff.

Yep but not over $10k new even with the deck and snow plow, mine new was $7500 with deck on the tag from a small dealership, got it for $6300 as the xi series was rolling in, Jeff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
