I would fix the 127 to operate as intended. Next with time on my hands I would find a shell of a tractor for next to nothing "cheaper the better". After that I would take my sweet time building my electric machine.
I have a 106 and a 149 that run just fine, and the accumulation of yard tools is coming along as planned, slowly but surely.

Meanwhile, that 127 is pretty much exactly what you mentioned, a shell of a tractor that cost me a whole $30. Going electric is probably way better than the other butchery I had in mind for it.
