My wife told me a couple of weeks ago I needed to start looking for a winter project for me and my youngest son since he wants to help now. So I went to look at part of a 782 and a Wheel Horse but I found this 1811 on Craigslist and decided to look at it first.
It has been sitting for ten years with and engine problem. Needs hydro lever, tie rod ends, front tires, screen around the headlights, and a seat. Engine turns half a turn each way then hits something. No obvious holes in block and frame and engine compartment are dry as a bone, no sign of old oil leaks. I gave the guy $200, I figured the sheet metal was worth that.
Yeah I officially have "Yellow Fever".
