Default SCORED 1650 at Junk Yard

Nice, but dirty . A 1650 Hydro nearly complete, missing the seat only, so far as I can tell. It has a 50 in deck . It looks to have been keep in good shape for a long time then neglected. I shot some air into the tires, I blew cobwebs and such off with Air Comp & some de-greaser & garden hosed most the grease & grim away. The more I cleaned it, the better it looked. That was on Tue . This evening, I started jacking around with it & got my battery out that had been on trickle charge & some starting fluid & Gas & a Universal Key for 1.00 & 9. I checked & topped off oil of course. I started cranking & it turned nicely. A few shots of fluid & some gas in the tank & I'll be darned the thing started & ran real nice . I checked the hydro deck lever & it works beautifully . I was really shocked how well it ran. I released the brake to check the trans & the pedal return is either stiff from sitting or possible spring missing. I got the old girl to go into forward & reverse with great response . I'm simply amazed how someone could chuck this to the scrap pile like it is garbage ???? These picks are before I started cleaning it up .
