Hi
John Deere Rough and fix up cheap are 3 things that don"t go in the same sentence l.o.l.

I just had an 1830 in my shop it had a $40 seal gone on the pto, guy thought he was laughing on the repair at $100 , for seal and my time to do it.
We had a nasty surprise when it was apart. The seal leaked because of about $5000 of parts behind and around it that where scrap.
Guy ended up paying $1000 bucks in jobber stuff + time gluing bearings back in worn castings to get another year from it till he retires from cattle.

That tractor mint is probably only worth $7000 on a good day round here. so be very carefull what you buy and have to spend.
I was tempted to bid this guy on it so realistically I"d have to pay a $1000 or less for it . Glad I didn"t I would of lost my shirt and pants plus $3000 in the deal trying to sell it on for profit .

I would be thinking that by the time your done there is somebody with a nice one round thats desperate for cash, Just write the check and bring her home, then save the bother of time parts cost and your bank balance taking the un needed over spend let the other guy take the hit.
I know this sounds sad to say but thats why I'M getting out of re building used tractors.
Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
