Personally I take the other side of this issue. If the engine is that worn then the rest of the tractor is probably that worn. So you put a new engine in it now all you got is a new engine with a wore out tractor. I do not know what kind of financial position you are in but I would dump that sucker in a second and go buy a brand new compact or small utility tractor. If you haven't got the cash to plunck down the manufacturers have some really good finance programs. Most offer zero down and zero percent interest for at least three years and some real cheap interest for up to 5 or 6 years. You may be surprised at how cheap you could get into a new tractor. So you got a payment for a couple years, after that you'll have something that will last you for a long time with no headache's if you keep it maintained. Even if you overhaul the engine this thing is still going to be an old dog that is gonna continually cost you money. A wise man once told me you can either run old stuff and pay repair bills and have headaches, or run new stuff and pay interest and be done in half the time and have time left to sit by the pool and drink a glass of tea. I know which one I'd pick!

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
