1984 GT 1600 still going strong

Recommended Posts

I had to go get my dad's GT1600 today and do some carb work on it, so I mowed for a while with it. After 27 years of service, it needed a fuel pump and the carb cleaned. It gets asked here every now and then about the solidity and reliability of the Workhorse tractors, including the Briggs engines. I can say with certainty and clarity that they are fine tractors, strong, reliable, and just like the red breed. Here is a photo of the 1600 beside my Kubota 7100.

I do have to say this- after mowing this season with the Kubota and a 5' finish mower, it was painful to use a 42" mower. It just takes forever....

You know, I have always been enamored with Wheel Horses, and while that hasn't changed, I do have a glint in my eye for that Kubota... the whiff of diesel smoke, the weight and size to do more... 4wd...
