yeah but she will last Al
the problem with an old machine is things start failing when they go back in service
i bought mine. and some rust in the valve body moved and the controls went out, rebuild that...500 bucks, i did the full on tune up, and then had to replace ignition parts...more coin
my hubs are frozen locked up in the both wheels turn like a tractor mode
but it has paid for itself and its repairs, and i did put green teeth on it
and i love having the extend able tongue
i can put it up in a car trailer using the tongue extension, and i can manhandle the machine around better with the tongue part way out
i cant afford a new machine, or get financing to buy a good used one, so i guess i'll put a new honda on it unless i can get another 25 horse for a good price
while its down i'll repaint the old girl
you know i rebuild old crap over a 1 year period, cause the banks wont finance me, yet i put out almost the same amount of dough over the year to rebuild a p o s and make it use able.............good machine, get the price lowered and it'll be alright
