This in one of my two toys I bought this month.. Other than some paint differences they are identical, the other has a fairly fresh rebuilt motor. This one had two new rear tires. I bought these from a 4X4 club I belong too and they said this one was junk because it didn’t run. I was the last person to use this one before the PTO gear broke about five years ago and they decided to leave it set. We used them to cut about 40 acres of campground and the club decided they could not fix them. I was told that several people had tried to start this one and decided it needed to much to get it running so the club decided to sell them. Since I was the last to drive it I knew it would run with minimal work I bought the one with the fresh motor for 1,000.00 and gave 500.00 for this one after a local fellow offered that for them. After putting a fresh battery, fuel filter, fresh gas and a coil wire on this one I fired it up and drove it on the trailer. I don’t know what those other guys missed when they said they couldn’t get it started. I have since replaced the one front tire and had the gas tank cleaned.. with the cost of the tractor, new battery, cleaned tank and new front tire I have just under 700.00 invested in this one. I’m going to tune it up, adjust the breaks and rebuild the deck and use this one to mow my five acre lot. Submitted by Bill W., from OH
