[Vwdiesel] Fw: BOUGHT IT!~ OT: Kubota 3cyl Diesel tractor-opinions sought

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Well. I bought it !  Just got it home and mowed for about 2 minutes.
Getting late here, so must have supper and see if I can get some mowing time
in later on, or possibly
tomorrow.  Diesel engine purrs along some nice.

Thanks everyone !

Update......mowed a large 3/4 acre field with it. Smooth as silk.
