A little off topic, but while on the subject of buying a used engine, or tractor, I don't believe anything about the engine that the PO tells me. I bought 3 tractors in the last year that I was told "ran great". One I could hear the rod knocking while I was loading it, one was missing and had a dropped valve, the other had problems galore. I have a "max price" that I am willing to pay for used engines, and that's all I'll spend.

Hey, don't forget about that little 10hp sewing machine you got from me
