Trying to trim the Wish List... very nice T16

Scratched one off my want list today...I never really thought this many 'keepers' would find their way home, and my concern is growing. I can't afford a shop expansion, so I'll just have to play the tractor-shuffle a bit more often. Super clean, appears all original except for the seat and 12V coil. Well cared for, for sure. No deck rust to speak of, and runs and drives great. This is my first running Shuttle, and I like it! It's a smooth operator, and seems very effective Would make an excellent mowing, blowing and tilling setup from what I can tell. It even has belts that look new, with 'Simplicity' still clearly visible. Electric lift is neat...another first for me. It's quicker and quieter than I thought it would be. Electric PTO is slick too. I really like the way it's set up...must have been a dream machine back in the day. Heck, it still is for me. ^

I got her at auction, and it looks like there's witness marks from duct tape...think she sat roadside for sale with a sign on her?

I always wanted one of those. I really like blue.

You really shouldn't be taking pics while you're driving, though. You might crash and scratch the tractor.

Just got done mowin with it...needs nothin. Had a full tank of gas and super clean oil, like it was just changed. Shuttle works great...really quite neat...and the deck has great blades. No complaints here!

my E-lift slows a bit with a big snow-covered snowblower on the front :o but always does the job

id="quote">not too often you can pull them off the trailer and mow . That has to be one of the nicest original T-16's around ^. I like the shuttle drives. the electric lifts are good for a snow blower but a little slow for me with a plow blade.
