Oh, and if that SGT is cheap, buy it. I paid $100 for mine, and it's fun for towing and pulling. I took the mower deck off and mounted a winch in front, and got the Extreme 3-point stuff. Feels like a grown-up tractor. Handy when you need to drag a boulder or a downed tree out of the woods.
Motors aren't that hard to find. Or spend $800 at HF for a new Predator engine.
It's hard to see in the pics, but the grill is just missing. The guy I bought it from made a crude grill, out of some mesh, that is currently zip tied to the shrouds. I will keep an eye out for an original, I would like the tractor to be complete. No rush, of course, but something I will pull the trigger on when I do come across one.
