In October you were looking at an LT 10 with a 7 HP engine for $3K.  It sounds like you did well by waiting and looking.   smiley_thumbsup

Lookin' good Matt!

Doesn't look like it was overworked either!

You did well, and then with 40 bands (figuring around $15-$20 each) thrown in the deal.   smiley_thumbsup
