no more raking leaves ! Bought a MCS
A little over two years ago my wife and I purchased and moved into our retirement house in the north GA. mountains . We have 2.5 acres of bliss we love it here . Having said that the fall leaves are a killer we are surrounded by trees there is no escaping . And as much as we don't want to admit it we are getting older :wink2: I have been looking on CL and other sites to try and find a clean/used/reasonably priced MCS for my JD 330 with 50 " deck .
Two days ago I see one advertised on CL , I sent an email to the seller and a volley of emails and phone calls ensued . Yesterday I decided to fire up my one ton dually diesel " kong " and make the 390 mile round trip to purchase this MCS . It is an EZ Vac brand and in excellent condition not even any surface rust . The 5 hp B&S engine fires up on the first pull and purrs smoothly . This unit is 100 % metal no fabric or plastic . The rubber hose that goes from the deck boot to the impellar is brand new . The guy even had the original owners manual !
Got it home safely and unloaded from the back of kong . I think I did good with a purchase price of just under $500.00 for the condition it is in . Even the tires are in great shape . Now I have to see if the metal deck boot fits my 50 " deck and what modifications I may have to make . Can't wait to grind some leaves :biggrin2: Here's a pic of the unit .
