JimSraj 430 #1 Posted October 15, 2023 Definitely not in pristine condition but it seems run smooth and the deck is quite as well. My first magnum. Cleanup and check over upcoming. Hoping to use it to replace an IH Cadet 81 for mowing between the yard and the field. The hood is a little banged up and missing one of the bezels that surround the headlight. Deck is in need of talc but is solid with nothing more than surface rust. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,631 #7 Posted October 15, 2023 @JimSraj would quickly drop the deck , clean it out and get a penetrating oil soak going on its , underside , leave it upside down , watch the lubrication effect on the metal , also leave the deck over winter with the same oil , just the opposed of the life its been living . probably new blades ? any noisy bearings ? that paint will easily come back , with a lubrication soaking , that slightly dull finish , is at a perfect recovery stage , done that many times , get a thorough a baseline , service , verify how things work , lots to do , done a few of those , , let me know , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
