I just couldn't help myself...

Advertised on Facebook by a local shop. They got it on trade. I was hoping it was the one with the 20hp horizontal Kohler. But, it had a 20hp vertical vanguard with low hours. I don't want to sound like I'm bragging about the price, but it was only $350. Runs great, no smoke and all it needed was a fresh battery. It has a lot of customizations that I would have done. Homemade rear rack, 30 Cal ammo cans for storage and a nice aluminum cupholder. The only thing it needs is a stud and lugnut conversion, and I'll get to that the first time I have to take a wheel off. Steering is effortless, but doesn't have the turning radius of a wheel horse. I figure the two plows make up half the cost alone. I might keep the sprayer in case I ever have a need for one, but I doubt I'll have a use for the deck. 

 

Apparently, these were made by AYP for the Craftsman and roper brands also.

You done good there!

Parts alone are worth more than what you got into that.

May not be the correct brand but I think we can let that slide due to the Smokin deal you got on it.

It gets worse! I found a JD 110 for 75 that I bought for the good engine, wheels and tires, and a transmission that will fit my old school MTD. 😀

WHX??

Dude you did real good the Brinly is 125 easy, the crapsman cultivator  50 and  the sprayer is 2-300 new if it has booms. I have the same motor in 18 hp on a vertical horse and it's been nothing but smooth quiet power.

The cup holder is priceless!

I wish I'd taken pictures of all of my army trucks! My last position was as motor sergeant, so I had my pick. I had a heavy deuce with a van for parts and a 5 ton for machine work. I didn't reup partailly because they wanted me to go to the new trucks and partially because of the broken vertebrae, etc. 😀

 

Come get them. I'll make a great deal for ya. All I really wanted was engine, wheels and transmission. 🤔 I'm about to part out the rest online to get my money back.

When I was a CC8, I always rode with the 92s because they were first to get hit and the first to fight as support troops went. 

 

For those not in the know, I was 3rd in command. The officer and NCOIC were in different and varying vehicles. 😀
