I have a 24 Chopper 2 flo torque with weed guards removed, Not cut otherwise. never been welded or grinded on to my knowledge. I bought it from another guy, that's what he told me and I haven't done anything with it. Good shape, say 8/10 I bought for when I carry a super heavy load or pull a skier. Havn't used it twice in the last 4 years so I would let it go. Would rather trade it for a 28 of some kind, you have anything like that? would sell it if not. Let's discuss today hopefully as I go to Taiwan tomorrow and don't return till next Friday. Call me at 256-684-1753 Bill
