As they say, everything isn't always what it seems.
Engine is toast.
I got it to turn over a little bit. Was making one hell of a clatter, rattle, so stopped there.
I pulled the engine, was thinking about taking it apart to see what went wrong, but I'm now having second thoughts, cause I ain't going to stick anything into this money pit...
Thinking about cutting my losses, keeping the good seat, and offering it to anybody that wants to pick it up, for what I have in it. Nothing/free...
These things aren't high on my want to keep it around list anyway. Figured for free, I'd give it a look see, and fix it up, and flip it, but there's not enough meat on the bone for that.
So if anyone here wants it, it's yours for the price of fuel to get here and load it up, or it's going outback with the other parts tractors.
PM me if you're interested.
