I have a chance to but a 123 cub with no engine and bad tires for $30. I have a set of tires so no problem there. PTO clutch and other associated brackets are there. Sheet metal has no rust or dents but horrible paint. Is this worth messing with? I have a ranch king and I suspect its not going to live another year. I want an older well made hydrostat garden tractor for mowing pulling a cart and snow removel. I forgot to mention it has a good deck and I have a front blade. I'm thinking I might be able to get him to throw in a snow blower. I can get ahold of either a Kohler or a harbor freight special assuming I don't have to modify it to far to put in a predator. I don't like to change them past where I can't put it back.
