Any engine can be made to run if you throw enough money at it. Somewhere along the way you need to use Common Sense though. I don't paint tractors and I no longer rebuild them. A 2010 JD taught me that lesson years ago. I invested $6000 and sold it for $5000. Now I make them run and offer them at a very reasonable price. I figure let someone else have all that fun. When I get a tractor the first thing I do is look at the oil. It helps when you own a testing lab. A simple oil test can tell you everything you want to know about the engine. Also a spark plug and exhaust pipe examination can also tell you a lot. Oil with excessive levels of wear metals is indicative of major engine wear and that will mean major dollars. Fuel dillution % also tells you a lot. Add to this analysis the plug condition and you may not want to bother with a rebuild.
