I agree with some of the other comments.

if the tractor won't run.. you are selling scrap.. and will get scrap price.

If the tractor has the SOS trans ( 671/681 or 871/881 ).. then it is not automatic.. it is a powershift GEAR tranny ).

Look on the bellhousing, aft of the starter for a 3-digit model number like I posted.. that and the sn will get you the year.

The SOS trans is queer.. if the motor don't run.. trans is locked.

if you have to pull it to load.. ther eis a traction disconnect on the rear by your ankles.. i forget which side for the hundred series.. but it will be a bar or lever to flip after you remove a nut or retaining bolt.. this free's the diffy up from the trans..

charge the battery and get her running.. might just need a charge and clean points.. will double your money for sure..

likely get around $2000 for a running sos.. vs $700-100 for a boat anchor..
