Gary: Two of the most costly items you can come across to replace are sheet metal and broken castings. Just to give you an example, the grill an front sheet metal around it will cost you as much as a piston and sleeve kit. Also if you don't find any welding on castings or front end, your raesonably sure the tractor hasn't been abused. I bought one 3 years ago, perfect sheet metal, excellent castings, good engine, hydraulics, transmission and final drives, with fast hitch 2 bottom plow and tandem disk, $1,000. Within a month I laid out $1,200. more for new rad, water pump, battery, complete charging system and some minor items. My tractor had been left half full of coolant 10 years in a heated warehouse. Water pump and rad above the coolant line were a mass of rust. On my tractor, the vendor, couldn't and refused to try and get it running, and as far as I'm concerned not running is a parts tractor. Now, bear in mind 140s especially one with 04-06 style grill, command good prices. They hold their value well. You just mull this all over in your mind and you decide if the price is good. I'd try for less, however it is family and they know there are folks out there who will pay $1,500. You are also family, so why not try $1,500. less 15% of all parts you have buy, to put it in good working order.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
