Blown engine on Fergie TO30 and scrap value

Posted by JW in Ohio on June 09, 2005 at 15:38:11 from (68.250.176.6):

Here's the dilemma: TO30 Fergie needs engine work of $1500-$1800 (camshaft, bearings, rings, valves, governor, misc). The local trusted mechanic offered $800 parts value for it as is. Sheet metal good but needs paint, tranny and hydraulics seem OK, will need at some point new seals at rear wheels(leaking at brakes), and needs upgrade to 12v. He has an MF35 he picked up from the local school system. Well maintained with no known problems except for a slow oil leak around pan. Started right up, no smoke, ran quiet. He offered to take my TO30 plus $1800 to trade for the MF35(valued the MF35 at $2600). I am leaning toward the MF35...sooo, what do you think?
