Sohn 3/6/2000 Saint Louis Missouri david.a.sohn@juno.comGood YaHoo Clubs exist for sharing information and for classified ads: Under the Photographs sections at these sites, you can find Specifications pages with tractor identification guidance; mower belt installation; years of manufacture; and other helpful information, but you have to obtain membership first.

Rebuilt engine; clutch; PTO; transaxle has new bushings; All seals throughout are replaced. I saved a great deal of money along the way by the collective assistance from club members, during the rebuild process. I guess I will paint the tractor and a mower deck when good weather returns. I have several attachments and seek more. I hope this helps. David A. Sohn
