Since we spoke and you told me what you paid, you did real good at first glance.

However, do what I told you with the tank and fuel system before you do anything. Check over that tractor thoroughly before turning your new key.

If you get it to turn and actually start DO NOT RUN IT FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE.

I can see already that engine need to come out and have tins removed and cleaned. It also would appear to have a possible oil leak.
Probably a seal. I would have front and rear seals and gaskets on hand to address this. Since you already know it needs the joints have them on hand also.

Not sure what mounts are in it but most likely stock. Figure out what mounts you want to run and have those on hand as well.


Pull the deck, check your belts and give it all a good cleaning and grease.

My gut thinks ya got a good one.
