I have one that looks similar, but runs like a top. Probably the only reason I still have it, is that it belonged to my father, and was the first thing I ever drove sitting on his lap when I was around 5 or so in the early 60"s. I use it for cutting around 60 acres of hay each year with his old sickle mower, and maybe pulling a load or two of firewood in the winter, but that is about it. It seems I redo some portion of it each year, and completely redid the touch control last year. Sooner or later I will tear it completely down and de-rust and paint and put back together, however it will likely be a $150 paint job, as I plan on using it, and not being afraid of scratching it a little if a limb drags across the hood or grille. Easy to touch up. My engine smokes a bit at idle or if it sits a bit idling, but with no more use than it gets it will likely last longer than I do. As someone said, don"t rush it, and think carefully on how you want to use it, and redo it accordingly. I liked the idea of keeping mine running and redoing a little at a time until it is ready for paint. I decided I have little use for a show piece, and put it in the fields as much as I can.
