TTT $450 now. I'll post new pics tomorrow.
Today I dragged it out of the work garage and put a considerable amount of time into it. I washed it and easily got the motor to turn. Then I did all basic maintenance.
fresh oil, ($8)
new oil filter, ($10)
new air filter and pre-filter, ($15)
new spark plug, ($4)
new fuel filter, ($10)
new fuel line, ($3)
new gas cap, ($10)
Carb rebuild kit ($20)
(so far 6 hours and $80 invested)
I also removed the gas tank and drained it completely to get any stale fuel out of it.
After adding new fuel, I did manage to get it to fire up, however that was with pouring a little gas in the intake.
I took apart the carb and cleaned the gunk out of it. The gaskets were shot as well as the needle valve. I got a rebuild kit and replaced the needle valve as well as the gaskets.
Runs fine now.
What it will need...
-tires or at least 1 inner tube replaced(one doesnt hold air, and tread on both are worn)
-replacement or at least adjustment of the belts(drive and blade belts)
-paint on the mower deck
-few replacement pins, bolts, and cotter pins to tighten controls up.
-sharpen the blades
The longer I have this mower, the more I will work on it in my spare time. But the more I work on it and fix stuff, the more the price will go up. At least now any potential buyers can rest assured the motor runs and the electronics are functioning.
