What do we have here? ( again)

@jabelmanThanks for the reply I was hoping someone had some knowledge on these tractors. hard to find any information at all on them. I am not looking to restore it but more of just getting it running and moving under its own power. I have a nice 8hp Briggs I/C engine I was thinking of using if what ever is on it is toast.

thats 1 dont have much knowedge of, I had the opportunity to buy a real nice farmette when I bought my gemco tractor, unfortunately only 1 would fit in the back of the truck, (this was before @pullstart taught us how to load trucks)

Agreed @pullstart is a Masterloader. I think I am going to get it even though I dont have the space. I dont have the money. I dont have the knowledge. It looks like if you just put a little gas in it it will fire right up !

I have no solid information to go by, but I like most anything old and fun looking.  Even if it’s a lawn ornament, if it brings you a smile it’s probably worth it.  Times are weird right now.  You kind of need the source of joy, even at a cost.  Just think, you could be wasting the money on things you’ll never get back at all.  I don’t gamble, smoke or go to bars.  People probably spend more on average weekly than I do monthly on tractors, but even if it is junk at the end of the day I feel further ahead than them.

I agree. I am the same I dont smoke or drink but that dosnt mean I have extra cash. This cancer has set me back big time as far as money goes. My problem is that if i get it .... you best believe I will spend what it takes to get it running.. thats the scary part. I hate to say it might be worth more in parts to someone. I have to go look at it. Chances are if I go looking I am coming back with it..... then what ?

Basically it‘s up to you

If it allready runs, take you time of fun with it.

You must decide, what‘s it in your World worth.

 

In my World, i simply enjoy my „Toys“ give them a bit of Service and they give me a lot of Fun back. I don‘t care what others think of my Hobby of what they think of me or if they called me even Crazy, i have some Fun with my Toys that‘s the importantst.

They don‘t be really urgently required, just gardening makes much more Fun .

i simply have Fun with them, because it‘s my Hobby.
