Kirsch: I'm a champion at this, although most may not think so. I have a 130, it's seen lots of hard hours. Twice in the past I had it in two-three pieces, going to part it out, then I find a real steat on parts needed. I had robbed the parts for what I considered better tractors. In the past ten years I've bought some cheap used parts plus the following new parts, clutch assembly, water pump, had distributor and carb professionally rebuilt, new front tires and rims, new rebuilt starter, 12 volt alternator conversion and a new battery 2 months ago. The tractor needs a piston and sleeve kit rear tires and rims to be in top shape. I really don't need this tractor, but do you really think someone is going to pay me for the recent upgrades with the engine compression at 55 psi, all cylinders, plus poor rims and tires. I THINK NOT. Soon be my 67th birthday so I may as well do the engine, buy rear tires and rims, then take it with me when I go. Just think Kirsch, they could dig an 8' deep hole put me on bottom, with 130 down to axles as a grave marker. Should hold me down.
