Had a great day talking to Dale Schafer today. He delivered a 185 to me today I bought out of Wisconsin. Looked at and talked A-C for a couple of hours. Dale's a nice guy and I enjoyed the visit. Thanks Dale and have a safe trip home. Joey.

I've always wanted a 185 to go with my 175. 2 of my favorite tractors. I wanted this 185 for the 540/1000 also.

I can't do pics on this site for some reason with the reason probably me. You can do a search of the classifieds of this forum. I bought it from dfh9036 on here.

| Wow - that is nice! Was the shorter muffler standard, or optional? My 180 gas muffler is a lot taller. |

Not standard or optional. Just sawed off I think. I'm going to put a new one on it and save this shorter one for a D-17 maybe.
And by the way,thanks for the pic and the compliments.
