Christmas present

Hi all,

Some of you read my post of a week or so ago with my wondering what to do to shrink the number of tractors in the garage, update the workers a bit, and get ready for retirement.  Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, things didn't go quite like i had planned.  I had started looking some for a legacy when this appeared.  Only half hour from me, less than 500 hours on it (estimated), in wonderful shape, and it has a better blower than mine, and with electric chute rotator.  Long story short, I will have another tractor in the garage come Wednesday, at least for a while.  I paid what I figured was a fair price for it.  In the pics the clutch/brake pedal is missing, it is coming with the tractor but the owner removed it to mount a home made snow shield/windshield  on the tractor.  The sun shade (home made but decent) is on it now with the snowblower.  I will be switching ag tires, soft cab, and a few other things from my 918H to this one, and this will now be my winter snowblower tractor.  My wife (what a woman!) said she is good with me buying it, then said "merry Christmas" so i am guessing that list I gave her a couple of weeks ago is now void.  But I am happy.  Check out the pics, they are from the owners for sale ad.  I gave $1200.00 for it.  What do you think?  The weights on the back will be for sale on here shortly if anyone is interested.

Steve

Merry Christmas - You can never have too many Sovereigns.

Why?  I find them very useful.  If the wheel weights aren’t enough weight, I throw the suitcase weights on the rack. Easy on/off - can’t do that with wheel weights.
