Achto 27,601 #2 Posted April 20, 2022 1057 is a good stout tractor. 10hp with a 3 speed tranny. The tractor in your pics has 2 price increasers on it. Rear wheel weights = $150 - $200 for the pair. Center blade = $200 - $300 maybe a little more. These are sought after. In my area maybe $100 for the rest of the tractor. Prices may differ in other areas. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pull the plug back out before trying to turn it over. Might need to use a pipe wrench on the pulley to turn it, don't force it too hard. It will most likely break free. If not, let it sit a little longer & try again. Once it breaks free, spin it to get the tranny fluid out of the cylinder, change the oil clean the carb/fuel system & I bet it will run. This tractor was locked up when I bought it. Went through the above procedure's and have been using it ever since. PS, your neighbors will love it the first time that you fire the tractor up after this procedure. It took a couple minutes for it to completely clear out. Hasn't smoked since.

Bullet proof transmission & very easy to work on. I'd flash 400 in green backs at him for the whole rig and have it loaded and before he come to his senses and knew what hit him. If that's the one the guy is askin 250 for I'd be all over that fer sure. Basically buying the weights & blade and getting the tractor for free. Like Dan said that locked up motor wouldn't bother me abit it's a Kohler. Just my 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishroe 261 #8 Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) I got the grader blade for 225 thats what I really needed he wanted 200 for the weights Offered 150 Wouldnt take it could’ve gotten the tractor and weights for 350 I didn’t know whether the motor needed rebuilding or what else could’ve needed replacing. I just bought my 2nd 414-8 several weeks ago. Grader blade going on it and plow blade is on the other one. Cool looking tractor though Edited April 20, 2022 by Fishroe 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
