I don't know why everybody is so 'rebuild' happy. Are you a mechanic? Do you have a decent garage where the mess can lay torn apart for the duration? Are you already pi$$ed off with the thing? (LOL!).

I'm for cutting your losses as they stand...chock it up to an expensive learning experience and dump it. Right now, it is a deep pit waiting for more dollars to be tossed in.....with the hopes...that all will get better. You can throw money at anything until it gets rebuilt...but does the end justify the means?

I hate it that you got hosed and the illegitimate that took you needs to be horse whipped. But my dad always told me....if you get took...you take yourself because ultimately you have the right to walk away. If you don't know what the hell you are doing, leave it alone. Find somebody that does and take their advice. Those are words of wisdom.

Sell that tired old horse to the glue factory if need be. Ask somebody who knows tractors to help you find a good one. It may not happen over night, be patient and wait for a good machine. I have bought several tractors and with the exception of one....all were good units. More than likely of it looks like a POS, it is. Drive by farms looking for tractors for sale. Most likely, a farmer will tell you straight up what is wrong, if anything. If it's gutted, 9 times out of 10 he'll say so. Some creep with a gold tooth and a cheap suit at used car lot will do anything to get your money. When I see tractors on used car lots, i turn my head and keep going. Avoid 'dudes' with tractors..generally they're in up to their eyeballs and looking to dump their mistake as well.

Sell it.......move on. Call it a bad marriage and a good divorce.
