Lee, I just started a collection this year too. I've got a 10323 (purchased new in 99), a 8481AE, a 10547 that's in very good to excellent shape, and a recently 'adopted' red headed step child ( a Snapper self propelled with a Tecumseh 2 stroke),,,LOL. Almost time to put the mowers away here in Michigan and work on the winter machine, an Ariens SS522e.
If we have a winter like last year, I'll be looking to move down south too.
