[Bushman]

While working today I came across a garage sale with an original clean 124 sitting there. I returned on the way home and since they were just setting up the Cub was still there.

Looking at the tractor its all original including nice paint and stickers. There is no usual signs of wear and tear and appears that the thing was kept inside and cared for. No dripping oil or accumulated crud. Tires are solid and not dry rotted, wheels are clean and white. This one has the nice little plastic reflectors on the fenders intact. I was impressed and started asking questions.

The owner told me that it was their fathers and one day while driving it popped and stopped running. It was put away and the fellow passed and these folks obtained it. The pto clutch is missing and a pulley is in its place. The engine cranks over but wont spark. The folks selling it are really moving and did not spend much time on trying to fix it.

The engine is free and I verified the piston is moving by pulling the spark plug. There is a new condensor on it and the fellow says he has a new safety switch for the brake lever not yet installed.

On my scale from 1-10 its a solid 8-9 and that's said with reserve because its not running and the pto is missing. It only comes with a plow.

I could buy this for $250.00 .

The seller thought maybe the spark issue was the stator.

Could a guy go wrong? I would hop on this no question but, with 3 other tractors in my collection its a concern.
