Jeremiah-I have wheels on all 4 corners of my deck so scalping really isn't an issue. I guess the spring might save wear and tear on the wheels. I was looking to maybe sell it to someone who might need it if I didn't. Luckily my 122 has one.

Craig,
The guy who bought 590 was Ted Moll. Once it was gone I never heard or sell a thing about it, unlike Mein Kub wish did show a few times. The guy you are thinking of is Ron Keller. I think he sold everything lock-stock-N-barrel.

Tom. I remember Ron. We met at Madsons once by chance. That's too bad he got out if it. Got any pix of 538 before u sold it? I remember you said the guy that had it originally didn't ant to sell it but you knew what it was.
Has anyone had a crank get bent on one of their tractors before? My 982 seems to still be making a heck of a noise after new rings, gaskets and honing cylinders and seating valves. I just really hate to buy a new crank but I can see the end is bent for sure as I turn it by hand.
Speaking of crank issues, just pulled one from a 12 hp and there's some scoring where the crank rides on the bearings - both ends. Any opinions on whether or not that's a serious issue. I'm thinking the crank fits snug in the inner race and the bearing turns leaving the crank stationary on the race. If the crank and inner race are turning together it does seem as though the scoring would effect anything?? Thanks
Ed,
When I was about ten I watch my dad try to start a Farmall Regular backing off a trailer. with almost the same results. It balanced perfectly with the front end in the air. He slowly leaned forward and it came down. Then said "anybody got any toilet paper?" Ever since then I have always been nervous backing anything from a cc to a full size tractor off a trailer and trying to use the brakes or the engine to slow it down. Luckily we can laugh about it now but it took some time
