thats why i mentioned the gen,im going to convert to propane on the chevy motor,the motor is got about 2 thousand mile on it,and getting parts and blocks if needed isnt a problem,propane is safer storage than gas imo

If it cranks, gas spark and compression is all you need. I'm willing to throw money down on the carb. Its usually the problem, and easy to clean. Could be spark but that's easy too. Just hope it's not compression.

Is that a new alternator? 😍

If so, chances are the guy was telling the truth. Prolly just needs a bit of upkeep.

Yes Sir..... I'm sure he was thinking it would run, the guy I got the place from it's was there dream place .. But Life Happen got a Divorce (messy) and was selling..... I had CASH from sale of my house in ca... so he never came up from fl. I got everything that was here... not much but a few things.....
It was a good deal for me...... the realtor knew them and knew there spot, and I told her what I was looking for and this was close, they family owns alot of this area so it's funny there house is at the end of the payment....

that rim can be welded,get ready for the shock of your life when pricing rear tires,front tire no problem ,but take my advice ,get same size tire and cut the bead off about half way up side wall,then deflate tire and put it over the original tire,air up and done,what this does is any nail or thorn that goes threw will break from the air space in between tires and you wont have any flats

that's what this is but you know that
that's about the price I have looked on CL /Web I can see putting a grand in this thing fast.... lets put it this way
I got a great used rider 46" and a dump cart for now and paided $ 500.00 I used a push mower on 5 acs around the shop to clean up the woods..... I have a brush hog /all most new/ i would say 5yrs old just sitting.... lol

Now Eric Has one Kob with Everything AC Butt wipes and etc... he isn't roughing it at all................ lol
 
#54
Check the floats on the carb., could have holes in them, or something else going on with them ... That would make gas pour out of the carb. to ....

i would start by draining the fuel tank,then blowing out the lines ,unhook from fuel pump and blast that line with air, then if i seen any rust in tank,throw a chain in there and swosh it around,get all that loose shit out,rebuild carb,who know when and who rebuilt it,then i would get new battery just cause,haah try to roll that bitch over without starting it and do each cyl compression,and go from there ,before buying a better rim and tire,the cost of that tire you can do all mentioned cheaper and know what you want to do before you put 2 grand each for rim and tire,that what id do,if it was mine ,even if i dont use a lot,it gotta crank when i need it

tractor dont have to roll to be useful by the way,get it running and if pto works ,you can buy a transformer for it ,problem solved for electricity
