I respectfully second Ms. Nicole's opinion.
Could you guys please lend me a hand determining what kind of cushman i have? I would like to know as much as possible about it, from engine specs, history, finding parts and restoring vs customizing.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
And i do hope this latest, all consuming issue gets resolved with bestbresults for all parties,
Cordially,
Alex
