The body is the same as far as I know, It has a 18 horse Briggs in it with the large axles. Other than the year what is the real difference? The seller is supposed to be setting me up with some spare tire and another set of control sticks since I had some trouble with it and he does feel bad about that so I don't really think he meant to deceive me. He did offer to take it back for a full refund, not like "It's yours, you bought it". And for what I paid in this area, they are very hard to find around here, in any brand for that matter.
When I said he does this as a business I meant he does it out of his garage and he travels around buying them as he finds them. He does not have a full time garage doing it.
