GitrDone-
That's actually exactly my plan. Slowly but surely, one 20.00 bank owned property at a time. They're holding my pay, which I was originally upset about - but now I see it as a way to save up for the engine. By the time my first check rolls in for a month's worth of mowing, I'll be in business!
Till then, I just keep babying her, keep everything greased, tuned, and do oil changes 2 times a week (really). I also give the Cub a break every 1.5 hrs of hard work and add oil to keep it full.
Like the paint? I'm too busy to do a full resto, so me and my daughter occasionally head out to the garage and paint a small section at a time with those 4" foam rollers. It's not perfect, but I really like the color. It has a little orange-ish hue to it. For any who are wondering, its Transport Yellow from TSC.
