farmerall 23 #1 Posted January 29, 2013 I bought this about a month ago from a friend of a friend. I was told that it was his grandpas tractor and it hadn't been touched since his grandpa passed away about 10 years ago. His grandapa repainted a lot of it and it looks like he did a good job too. I pu tsome gas in and jumped the battery and it fired up after a few seconds and ran pretty good. I haveno clue what I'm going to do with it but I couldn't pass it up for 50 dollars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,968 #3 Posted January 29, 2013 That might be the best 50dollar lawn tractor you will ever buy! I know what I would do with it. I would sweep the snow off and take it home with me :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #8 Posted January 29, 2013 A few years ago I won this B-112 on eBay for $22 I stuck another engine on it and my son beat it around for a while. When he was done, I saved a the good pieces and scrapped the rest. The mower deck went to one RS member who was going to convert it to use on a garden tractor and the narrow front axle went to another member for his pulling tractor. I guess verts aren't totally worthless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

855ownerJoel 32 #10 Posted January 29, 2013 Looks pretty nice from what is visible, good find and a bargain! Anything that runs alone is worth $50.00 to me, cannot buy the engine for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 501 #13 Posted April 30, 2013 I had an 1137 with the same clutch setup they can be a pain if the clutch material gets contaminated with oil, usually form a leaking seal on the bottom of the motor. The only fix I found was to replace the cone, and I was lucky to find one on Epay for not too much money. But that said it may be as simple as adjusting the clearance properly, which is explained in the operator manual mentioned above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
