Hi everyone,
I have a TEA-2085 which I broke the timing chain on. I know I (at the very least) need a new timing cover, timing chain, governor weight assembly and fly wheel. I haven't checked the valves yet, but I'm sure I will need to replace one or two. Someone in my area is selling the exact same model of tractor for $400 CAD. After transport I would probably be looking at around $600 CAD at the end of the day. They claimed that the tractor ran a couple of years ago, but the timing would need to be adjusted. My questions are as follows:
1) Is this a reasonable price for a parts tractor and would this be cheaper than buying the pieces that i need separately?
2) Would it be better to purchase the tractor and try getting it running and use my old tractor for parts?
Thanks,
Julian
