New riding mower xt2 cadet

We have a 1986 deere 160, and a similar year deere 316 with vacuum operated bagger. Both great mowers when they are going, just got so tired of them being iffy on starting, stopping, and putting money into a dying machine. Sure, if it was an A-body car, I'd pump countless dollars into it. Lol, different addiction I guess. I told my son its time to get the Deeres sold and put that money into our mopars. Of course he wants to keep his 160. Hello, my name is penstarpurist and I have raised a fellow pack rat hoarder of cars, tractors and other forms of rusty metal and faded plastic parts............I'm so proud of him.
Looks nice. I have a JD LX178 that I’ve had for 22 years! I’d love a bigger one, but it is still going strong.
