Thanks for all your input on this tractor. I went ahead and bought it. She is an electric start with adjustable wide front, three point hitch and fenders. The paint is faded and looks original. The tach shows 1800 hours. I put a seven foot rotary cutter on her over the weekend and it worked out very well. The engine ran cool on a 90 degree afternoon but I noticed some white smoke, like blow by, coming from the area of the starter. Their was no smell of burning wires and I believe that the smoke is blowing past a seal somewhere. It wasn't excessive, just noticable. The only leak I can find is where the fan shaft joins to the governor housing. I removed the three bolts holding it together with the intention of using permatex to seal the joint, but I couldn't get the pieces seperated far enough to work in there. Do I need to remove the water pump? Finally, the PTO brake barely holds the mower stationary. This seemed to improve with more use. So far I've got $6,500 in the tractor. Do you think that I got screwed?
