My AC 190 has been a smoker since I bought it at auction a few years ago, and I've deferred doing anything about it other than keeping the oil topped up and changing plugs as they fouled out...
She started knocking pretty loudly while baling first cut, so I parked her while I sort out what to do.
A major looks like it's going to run $3-4,000 (tractor has a FEL with leaky seals, so there's that to be fixed, too).
I'm kind of leaning toward replacing… just thought I'd get some opinions before making the fix/replace decision. Problem is that I really could use a tractor now! No-one local wants to touch it until winter and I don't have the bandwidth to tackle it myself.
If I sold it as-is, am I looking at a bit over scrap? $1,000? Location is in central IL.
