@tinywentz Hi, your tractor is smaller than mine is. Mine is the large frame GT2000 which was the largest of the garden tractor series. it came with a Kohler Mag 20-hp engine.

@tinywentz If you have any questions, just let me know. Do you know what year it is?
It's a great tractor with more capability that I ever thought it had. When I bought this one, it was well used and in fair condition. Mine is a 1988 model. Since then I repowered it with a Perkins Diesel.
Great Tractor! These old things never quit. I have a video of my 1971 cub cadet 127 blowing snow, and many it does a great job for being almost 40 years old. Just wish I could fit a two stage on it like you have, because the single stage I use only works well in light snow. Once the snow gets wet, I lose a lot of power and throwing distance.
Years ago we had a mid-60 Cub and she was built like its big brother. She had a 7 HP B&S "IF" I remember right. I wished I still had her today.
The 2-stage blower are the cats meow. She does a great job blowing wet snow as long as I have the RPM's up. On regular snow, I have stocked piled snow, just slowing down the RPM and at an idle, she would toss the snow about a foot or so out and won't plug as long as I don't over feed it. It's just remarkable what the 'ol gal will still do.
Thanks for posting your commecnt. Yes, Haban products were built, just like the FMC Bolens was. Made to last...
I know the sickle bar mowers are still popular, no mater what shape. PLUS they were build like their big brothers are.
But them days are long gone. Where is the pride in todays products. It's nothing but throw-a-ways now. And in the long run, you'll spend more money by replacing the short lived throw-a-ways.
Thank you. For a 20 year old garden tractor with a lot of usage, she still has what it takes. Now I just want to update her and put her back in just about new condition.

I wish they still made them. I just traded my extra Haban sickle bar mower for a Haban flail mower.
