Hi All
I have the opportunity to purchase a MH 555 gas tractor for $750. The tractor has a seized engine, rotten tires, plastic on the steering wheel shifter knobs also deteriorated. Sheet metal has lots of surface rust but other than that looks good no dents. Owner filled the crankcase with Diesel to try and free up engine. No luck. I pulled the dipstick and couldn't see any trace of coolant. Forgot to pull the rad cap and check for coolant level. This particular Make and model has a great deal of sentimental value to me and I would like to take a crack at restoring it as I haven't been able to find one for sale in running order.
I am not a mechanic but have some mechanical aptitude. I do many of the minor repairs on our car. Have overhauled a car engine in the past. I have a decent selection of automotive tools but have no hoist, body equipment etc.. I have a double car garage. I am a patient picky guy. So I just need some advice as to what I'm up against and whether you's think I might be getting in over my head
