Stepney 2,354 #1 Posted April 8, 2019 Hello, all. Have my eyes on a 1983 WorkHorse GT-1848 not far from me. Looks like a mostly decent survivor with a decent 48" deck under it. Still appears to have the wide wheels too. I'm not too familiar with them, but from what I understand it's more or less a 400 series WH in different paint, with a Briggs engine. As I understand it has a Eaton 1100 rear end. I'm more adjust to Sundstrands and have had my share of good and bad. How are these 1100's as a unit? Are parts available for them if/when they fail, can they be rebuilt? My fleet currently consists of 3 early hydro long frames, and I have been considering a newer, bigger machine. I think this would fit the bill nicely. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daddy Don 909 #3 Posted April 9, 2019 I have a GT1100 with a Briggs 11hp it works great and has not had any problems with it. When I bought it for $100.00 it had a tree growing up through the hood. I redone it and it is a great machine. I thing it will surprise you if you take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
