I BOUGHT FOR A SPARE. I DON'T THINK TORO WILL EVER BUILD THEM AGAIN. I MOW WITH A 1999 314-8 42" NOW WITH 550 HOURS. MY 1982 SK486 I CLEAN UP LEAVES WITH A DR VACUUM SYSTEM ON IT. THE SK486 I WOULD LIKE TO PARK IT I BOUGHT IT NEW, I GREW UP ON WHEEL HORSES. THE FIRST ONE WAS 1959 MY FATHER BOUGHT NEW,I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD. TRADED IT IN FOR 1967 857 I RUIN IT UP BEING A TEENAGER. THEN I BOUGHT A NEW 1975 B80 ANS STILL HAVE IT. ONCE YOUR HOOKED ON WHEEL HORSES THAT'S ALL YOU WANT. I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD 15 OR SO OVER THE YEARS. I ENJOY MOWING AND RESTORING.THEM. THANKS GUYS.

Nice score on that! I saw the pictures and it's very clean. :handgestures-thumbupright:

HELLO AGAIN, I GOT THE TRACTOR HOME TONIGHT. THE PICTURES ON EBAY WERE CORRECT. THIS IS NICEST USE TRACTOR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. THE BOTTOM OF THE 42" DECK STILL HAS THE RED PAINT ON IT AND THE ALUMINIUM SPINDLES HAVE NO CORROSION AT ALL. I WILL POLISH IT UP WITH A BUFFER AND DO SOME ROUTINE MAINTANCE AND ITS READY TO GO. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY ALL CAME WITH ELECTRIC PTO.. THANKS

Very nice Horse! Guess most here in the forums have, "Horse Sense."

Of course, with a nose for a good an excellent deal! Nice purchase!

FYI. I use coarse skateboard tape on the foot rests, holds up well, inexpensive.

I just paid $4.99 for a 10" x 36" piece, cut in pieces, one to fit each foot rest.

The stuff is easy to apply, really takes a beatin'.
