I was told it would fire up with a little TLC, Well the ring gear has a good bit of wear on it. Not sure is some shimming on the starter would take are of it or not. I don’t have the time to tinker with it nor split it and change the ring gear. Its a pretty straight tractor, has a dent in the fuel tank. Has hydraulics, hand clutch previous owner said he has about 3k in the restoration, paint, tires, motor. Has like new firestone 12.4×38 rubber on the rear and like new on the front. Still has paint markings on the tread. I have not tried to get it running other than attempting to turn over with the starter. Does have a new solenoid on it, fuel filter is missing where someone was attempting to get it going. Motor turns over good when you rock it in gear. Check out my other items!
