In that case- if theyre similar tractors- id get one running first thats in the best shape and work on that first. Ive actually gotten quite a few of my tractors free, thru coworkers, freinds and on freecycle ( you need to post something free to get something free tho) - look in the local flyer, craigslist - people are always having cheep stuff on there BUT y haveta look constantly- put an ad on craigslist for wanted stuff. Before Christmas i saw an ad for a $25 MTD for parts- i went to get it - the guy also offered me a parts craftsman and a parts motor for free. The motor on that MTD ran ( cept it needs a crank seal) so its going on another tractor, it had a recently rebuilt deck- that also went on another tractor - so im using whats left for a mild mod to mess around with. Id get one running/mowing , make it look and run good, sell it to buy the things you need- then you can get more to keep money comming in, turning around n selling em. | |
