Willing to give $450-500 for it.

I really like the old school stuff. Aware it likely needs a new clutch, not adj.

And driveshaft and rear coupler and teaser spring & cup and throw out bearing and lever and lever hanger and cracks in tower repaired and on and on.......

Sounds reasonable, I do believe you deserve it Doc.

Original owner must have been a tall guy , I can see that!

My guess is current owner is overwhelmed by clutch rebuild prices. Just take that into consideration and look closely when you go see.

Down your way there's likely not a lot of these available.

I'd get it.

In my area, that would be $300 tops, but I understand that scarcity in markets is one factor that can affect selling/asking price. Looks like it is in overall nice shape, with little to no rust. Appears to be the earlier run of the 12 hp engine for IH, judging by the bent heat shield and the location of the dipstick.

After this virus epidemic, life's too short. Get it if that is what will bring some interest in your life and it is in your budget. The blade would be a nice bonus with it and the skinnies on the front will make steering a lot easier. Let us know if you add that to your collection and if you do get it, I hope you enjoy every minute with it!

Well, I passed on the oldie. It wasn't ready for prime-time and showed some hard use. The clutch was going to need a full job.

However, I did pick up a LT1045 for dirt cheap. Sadly, it won't move now. Will dig in as soon as I can get it off the trailer.

The 124 can be repaired to last.
The LT1045 is a disposable piece of ....

Did it roll when you put it on the truck? More than likely it is damaged beyond repair.
