Great looking tractor. Waiting in anticipation for more pics and the final results!

 

Can you tell us a little more about the engine (B&S) that was on it with the gas tank poking out the hole in the grill and what you did to remedy it?

yes but most shops will look at it atleast around here and give you an idea of how to take it apart.

Great story! As for the cubcadet shop some places are finicky about stuff like that. If it gets damaged by there hand more often now a days the customer is less understanding.

For those of you reading this thread now that it is active again;

Do Not Under Any Circumstances Hammer On The End Of The Lift Lever Shaft. The steel is very soft and will mushroom faster than you can say Wheel Horse. If PB Blaster does not penetrate, go to your local Chevy Dealer and buy a can of GM penetrant. That stuff goes where PB Blaster cannot. Once the two sections start twisting just keep spraying the penetrant. It will come apart, just be patient.
