JimSraj 429 #1 Posted August 11 Couldn’t resist this for the $. SIL of original owner said his FIL always took good care of this tractor, had it serviced regularly at the local shop. 😳🤷♂️. I told him it looked like it had been rode hard and put away wet most of the time. As usual, it ran when it was last parked (2 years ago). The deck is shot but I’m hoping to be able to salvage some parts before scraping the shell. It came with a snow blower which is what I was really after. As you can see it’s a little rough but I think it’s savable. We’ll see. So far I’ve just power washed it. Gonna pull the deck and strip it of parts next. Then on to the tractor and blower. Im hoping to make a dedicated snowblower unit if all goes well. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit of judicius "hammer-n-dolly" work, with a file to dub off the sharp ehdes will work wonders! Been there, done that !! Time well spent to take it from "Crappy" to happy...
