Picked this up last weekend for a good price. Had to drive a couple hours 1 way, but seems to be in excellent shape, came with the bags, tubes and belt. Excited to use it for leaves this fall on my 712H.

If it dos not have support wheel in back, I'd think about front counter weights.

I like the one i have for my early 712. I didnt ues any front counter weights and got along fine

I look at it if it was on my property, everything is a slope.

Wet grass in a similar set-up made my steering light.

Your results may vary..............

My two cents, value accordingly

I had one and enjoyed it. Emptying was a bit of a pain, and it fills quickly but works well.

I had to add counterweight. I mow slopes and an FDT would stand right up on its rear heading uphill, depending on how much was in the bag. Even my 7790 would bring a front tire or two off the ground.

I'd like to add suitcase weights to the front. I thought I remembered seeing a bracket RayS made, but can't find the post.

Here's the green one mounted on my 917H. Ray used these to start his build.I think he did make some tweaks to his.
