Wow! That"s a lot of tractors to work on. I"m jealous. Been chomping at the bit to start on this one, and recently told the boss to "take this job and...restructure it", so there is finally time (but not as much dough). They really are beautiful machines, and it"s a joy to work on something that was designed to last. It"s no fun trying to fix broken six-month old junk. Just finished a "working restoration" on one of those 21hp Cub Super Garden Tractors witha 60" mowing deck and snowplow. Only 13 years old, but it looked like it was never maintained. After some TLC it did a great job snow plowing and spreading gravel on the drive this spring, and is now enjoying mowing duty. Don"t know how this C was used or where it came from, but it doesn"t look like it was worked too hard. Only a few dents and not much wear on the pedals. No recent maintenance, though. The engine oil drained like gritty black 90W, and the tranny oil drained like grease. I have my eye on a rusty old M that is surrounded by brush and saplings. Maybe the old guy will let me tow it away...
