Upgrade NowThe 3 stage is an absolute blowing animal! It'll shoot snow 35 feet high and stick it to the old growth white pines at my house. The 450 on my cyclops is by far a heavier built blower, but doesn't throw nearly as far. And the qa42 doesn't even compete with either of them.View attachment 148482
Hot dog!...that's sweetness right there!!I just noticed that St. Louis CL has what appears to be a nice looking Scout 800 for just under 35k:

This morning before I left for the airport, the police broke in the door of the hotel room next to mine! That’ll wake you up. It wasn’t early, but it will put you on alert. I think I may have lost a few months/years off my life when they yelled let me see your hands, or we’ll shoot.
...note to self: sleep fully clothed, and with a drained bladder in hotel rooms from now on.

I used to haul my Dad's greene tractor home for repairs, but as he got older, he couldn't rethink the controls of my Cub Cadet versus his 214, so I ended up buying a 214 as a spare to trade him whenever he needed work done. He could not stand my 38" deck versus his 50" when he needed deck work. Hehheh. My way of getting back at him for making me push most of the yard before he got our first Cub Cadet, a 124.He needed some repairs to his 124, so I hauled it home, repaired it, then returned it for a 122 and a 147.
i believe this may be a 3 point hitch for a Sears/RoperI'm in Clearwater, FL right now and saw this on CL. What is it? The ad called it a sleeve hitch, but it is like no sleeve hitch I have ever seen.

For the asking price of $75, it might not be a bad purchase. Best I can figure, it looks to be a manual 3-point.
I picked up a manual sleeve hitch years ago when the big box stores were clearing out the moldboard plows. It always seemed like a bad idea with the Armstrong part. It had this big long lever that liked to flex.
