I’m thinking RedSquare is just fine, all Facebooks aside.  Looks like quite the project!

Pretty standard for a garden tractor restoration. 

You can figure several hundred dollars just in paint and hardware alone.  

Tires are another $250 to $500.  

Engine $800 to $1200. 

Transmission can be $200 +

 

It's VERY easy to get in a couple thousand dollars if a FULL restoration is done.

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.

      I’m building a lowered 300 series wheelhorse. So far it’s a combination of 3 scrap tractors. 
      the frame, trans and tins are from a GT2500 anniversary special given to me by a neighbor with a trashed Briggs. The Kohler M12 is from a junkyard 312 that was roached. The parts tractor I’m using for the build was another older 312. I’ve got the k301 in the garage. The trans was toast. Both axles wallowed out keyways and 1 axle actually broken. 
      Anyway! I needed a project and a toy to putt around the neighborhood. I couldn’t find any other posts on how to do the whole thing. I’m trying to keep it cheap using stuff I have on hand and looking as “stock but cooler” as possible. So here we go. 
      I’ll update this as I go along.
