Luther H, I bought my 124 last summer at an auction of a out-of-business dealer. I wish I had about $5000 when i went to that auction. There was a NOS 48" mowerdeck and a NOS tiller both IN THE BOX! There was a 59M shredder that went for $400, it was in great shape. They had a whole gargae full of racks of literature and manuals, a ROPS for a Cub Cadet, and 16 tractors most with engines, 5 or 6 without. I definately paid enough and more than I should have for my 124, but it was/is in great shape. I came with a 42" deck and 3 point. Other than new rings and gaskets for the engine, I havnt put very much into it, and it does more work around here than my 147. It came with wide rears and fronts and due to traction problems with the snow, i put ag tires on the front( which are now on the 147 w/ the snowblower), I bought a pair of narrow rims and put tri ribs on it and i love them. Im also working on putting all of the options on mine. I only need a cigarette lighter, raer tail light, and install the rear PTO, Which I bought VERY reasonable. Did your tractor come with lights or did you add them?
