Model 86 Question
 

Looking for knowledge and opinions. Found this 86 for $75. It runs fine and metal seems mostly straight. It is missing the deck. I noticed that the original hinges on the hood were replaced and so it does not sit flush. I would like feedback on whether or not this is a good price, and if it is worth ones time to do a restoration or if it’s just a good parts tractor. I am not sure if it is complete. It appears to be missing parts but I don’t know enough about it to judge it properly. Also, I understand from my research that it is a more rare model. Are parts difficult to locate? Thanks for your help.

An 86 is a find, and $75 is a great deal. Worth it to restore for sure.

If it has OEM air cleaner and muffler, it's worth it. 86 is a good little machine..

First, welcome to OCC.... :Welcome2:

Next, IMHO.....hell yeah it's worth it.

:ThumbsUp:

Another angle

Welcome to OCC!

Real nice find for the money :beerchug:
You will have fun restoring that one and will be a nice tractor when finished.
Best of luck with it!

I see it has the correct muffler, you did well for 75.00.

Thanks for the help everyone. Just went and picked it up last night. 👍🏼

Nice find on the 86! :beerchug:

You did well! The 4th lowest production model, and a great price.
