What kind of engine is in it? Maybe you can ID the year through the engine, if its a briggs I know you can. Assuming yours in original. The brochure said 12hp Tecumseh which yours is not for sure. Maybe they had other engines?

Did not even think of that. It is a 18 hp 2 cyl briggs.(that I will probably swap it out for a honda) I don't thing it is the original engine,but it is a start. THANKS

Sorry to flood another thread of yours with non-helpful remarks but I have always wondered how well the PUG rides? Does it bounce you around a good bit or is it a fairly stable? Yours looks to be in really good shape by the way.

The steering is not as tight as you think , but because it articulates , has low pressure turf tires & 4WD, it can go just about anywhere & is very stable. The centrifigle clutches it uses for the drive axel/transmissiom (front axel) is like driving a golf cart. I use it for my light excavating company on homeowners property in places where I cannot get my small 1 ton dump. It dosn't chew up the grass , and is great in the wet areas we normaly work in. What usually happens is we end up getting more business with it because it is a work horse and a conversation piece as well.
