Hi everyone. A long time ago I posted that I had bought a nice, but hopelessly stuck to30. I believe it had sat for a long time without the head on it.
Anyway, I planned to overhaul the motor, but no time to full with it, so I offered it for sale.
I received a call from a gentleman who has a motor for sale that was rebuilt but never used. Supposedly it was rebuilt by a relative that had a small engine shop and he had died. The motor has sat for a few years inside, it is now outside covered under a lean to.
He's not sure what all was done to it in the rebuild, but may be able to get more information on it.
He is asking $300 for it.
My question is, is this something worth messing with? Could I possibly check the compression on it as it sits to see if it is good? What should I look for? Would you put oil in the cylinders before turning it over?
It sounds like it might possibly be an opportunity, but I don't want to get taken again.
Any advice on what to look for and what to stay away from?
The other option is he would buy my tractor, put the motor in it and plans to sell it.
