You can do better than that! Diamond plat ealuminum over a steel 3/4" angle iron frame with plexiglass windows and a heater tied into the cooling system will keep you feeling good during the winter!

Very nice, but for fast, cheap and easy to install or remove it is hard to beat a golf cart cover.

Cut the yard with the little beast yesterday. Basically halved the time involved, and it didn't rut up or sink in the wet spots as bad as I feared it would. Overall I'm completely tickled with this purchase!

It is an awesome little tractor and will still be running long after a new, $3500 tractor has bitten the dust. One mod I did on mine was to insert a piece of copper pipe into the top radiator hose and soldered a brass fitting that allowed me to install a temperature gauge. I felt a lot better working it hard when I knew how hot it was running.

Gotta love those fat tires for the soft stuff but not so great in the snow.

That's a good idea.

I will definitely be investing in chains before the snow starts to fly this year.

Travelover the top hose on my rad is pretty soft anyway, may have to try that sooner rather than later. Already ordered new blades. Had the deck off today because of the rain and while I was able to make them less dull, whoever had it before me never seemed to have bothered. Chips and gouges galore in all three blades, too deep to get out with my belt sander or files. So I ordered new blades on eBay for $40 for the set. At least the deck is pretty solid underneath I was happy to see, and getting it off and back on was simplicity itself.
