[quote="Baelee05"](quoted from post at 05:42:59 01/31/12) I would question why the guy didn't fix it himself and then sell it if he has is torn apart and has the parts. I would guess that he found out he was in over his head and what it would cost and decided to abandon ship. Also even though he claims TA and clutch are good now is the time to take a good look at them. That could mean more dollars. In my opinion to get that tractor back in good running condition you could be looking at a lot of dollars.
I'll Second That. I made the mistake of buying a non-runnung torn down tractor this last summer. Sure, I could have slapped it back together half-assed on the cheap, but it is costing more to make the tractor right than I anticipated. I personally believe that is why it wasn't put back together. IF everything is in the condition he claims it is in, I still think I'd buy it. Even if you need to spend the remaining $1500 or so to finish the engine overhaul, you'll still be money ahead, at least in our area. You'll have to go over it with a fine tooth comb before you shuck out the cash. Only you can decide that. Is he somebody local that you know? Does he have a big pile of junk sitting around or does he have nice stuff? That is some of how I have judged people and what I would or would not buy in the past. -Andy

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
