Well Newpuller , in a word -Yes ! I bought mine off ebay . I don't recommend that unless the tractor is close enough to go look at before you bid . When I got it home I pulled the oil pan and cleaned out the leaves and sludge and a couple of twigs . Anyway , it runs OK and it drives OK and the tires hold air BUT a ton of things are wrong with it starting with the lack of paint . The bearings are bad in the bolster making it tough to turn , the rear end leaks gear oil out the two front seals and it makes a whirring/soft rattling noise when in neutral or any gear unless it's coasting unloaded down a hill at any speed , then it's quiet , the noise might be because when I changed the gear oil the old oil was full of water and with a flashlight I could see that the tranny gears are rust pitted or it could be the front bearings are bad . The muffler is not put on right and it lets rain water seep into the engine and the pto shaft seal leaks . When I put oil in the engine this morning after draining the rain water out the new oil poured out the front crank seal as I was filling it , but it doesn't leak while it's running - go figure - , and the belt drive output shaft seal leaks . The problems I have with mine I hope are all easy fixes since I don't think I'll have to open anything up to fix them unless the tranny noise is a little deeper than the input shaft bearing or the front countershaft bearing , regardless though I'm just going to put in new seals for the time being . But hey , I bought it for something to keep me busy so I guess I got a good one for that ! Good Luck with your's . Take care ! ...Randy
