Default Picked up a 2135 with fuel issues

It was on CL and about 10 miles away. $250 with new fuel pump and battery. Only 319 hours and it still has headlights! It has a 14hp Kohler. Looks stock. New blades and pto belt.

I told him it needed new fuel line and the tank flushed and it should be worth more $. He wanted just to get rid of it.

The gas tank outlet was plugged. The fuel line was cracked (vacuum leak-air into fuel). The fuel pump arm was broke in 2 pieces. The float and needle were not connected. Anyway, it runs good now.

But, the hydro foot controls are awkward. Is the tractor supposed to return to neutral if the pedal is released? That would seem right, being it has forward cruise control with the hand lever at the right fender. With the reverse PTO cut out and awkward foot controls, I can see why so many of these are smashed.

Sorry, no pics. The only ISP that serves my area called it quits, so I only have a cell phone.
