Found tractor that has not run in 15+ years. The plate over rearend was rusted through and water (sticks, dirt & leaves)got down in rearend. The axle housings on both sides obviously filled with water and froze as they are now cracked. Was able to get rear tires to turn eventually by pulling the tractor with a skid loader (left axle was initially locked up). Not sure if the engine is locked up as I could not shift the transmission into to turn the engine as we pulled the tractor. All tires are rotten and flat. The side hood flaps are missing, the front grill is missing, carburator is rusted, and no wires on distributor. Is this tractor hopelss?

With the rear end like it is, I'd look for another tractor or two for parts and make one out of several. That rear end will sound like a rock crusher if you try to use it. If you can get the rear wheel hubs loose without breaking them they'll probably sell quickly.

I agree with rab. Might be better for parts <$300 and find a better one to restore.

No, it is not hopeless. Find another parts tractor and build one out of the two. If you don't have much money to spend, maybe you would be better off parting it out. Mine had the trans and rear end half full of water also. Dismantled it down to the bare frame and put it back together again. The only thing good was the engine but, I decided to go all the way. Everything in the engine is new. I have over $6000.00 stuck in that little tractor and, I would do it again. Make the decision on whether to fix it or not NOW. Don't start on it and then give up. If you need engine parts, I have a set of decent sleeves and pistons with NOS wrist pins and also a couple usable valves. Don't be afraid to ask questions on this site. Everyone will help. Good luck

Thank you for your reply. I may be in touch as you obviously have some parts I will be needing. The reason for this project is my father-in-law (an Alabama country boy and retired GM mechanic) get along best when we have a project to work on (are currently doing a 1978 Jeep that was not running but now at least drives). He has several tractors (A few JDs, an Alis, Ford, and an Oliver (I don't remember which model)). I thought this might make a good joint project, but money is tight at my house and he doesn't need another total rebuild project (he is currently restoring a model A Ford down to the last washer). He hasn't seen the tractor as it belongs to a frind up here in Missouri. I welcome outside advice before I get in over my head and buy another project that may be more than my father-in-law (an old tractor enthusiast) might be willing to tackle.

No, nothing is ever hopeless. May not be economical. May take some considerable time and expense, even more expense than it would be worth when completed. You could always build a tractor round something like a radiator cap - if you really wanted to! You may find there are only parts for someone else's project and these may be much appreciated at some time. So there is hope -of some sort.
Regards, RAB
