I posted my intro first at MyTractorForum.com. I didn't know this sister forum was the "correct" place to be.
That post is here:
A foolish project - MyTractorForum.com - The Friendliest Tractor Forum and Best Place for Tractor Information
Where I'm at with the project is waiting for parts to rebuild the carb to come in.
Then today a detour was thrown at me.
I went into a junk store in the process of being opened. After talking a bit I said was looking for a riding mower. He said he had two Craftsmans, a red one and a green one. I went to see them. The green one has a 16hp Kohler but a bit of a steering problem. Its rather loose. The red one, which is newer, has an 18 hp B and S Intek. Price on either one delivered is $275.
So my dilemma is give up on the MTD/Lowes (a mid 1990s model) or keep on working on it. Pretty sure if I can salvage the tires, I can get it running for another $100 or so, of course it still needs paint.
Suggestions?
