This girl came to me at plow day couple years ago. I pushed snow with it a couple times but then just didn't get used so it was time to go to a new home. On to FBMP it went and even advertised it here with no bites.
A fine running H60 Techy and was in prime shape for the next owner. I went through it completely. The Big Unit new to list and then some. Needed absolutely nothing.
Finally sold it to a 14 year old kid just down the road who wanted to do "commercial" snow plowing with it. After heavily advising him this was more of a collector model and there are better tractors suited to the task added to the fact that a old techy isn't exactly the motor for a budding mechanic but he said he had a gramps who was handy. He was set on it and finally let him have it with the understanding I would take it back if things didn't work out.
Well last week got a text from the kid saying he wants to sell it back. I says ok lemme come look at it.
During the time he had it I was contacted by him several times with questions on it including how to reassemble the the governor, carb & head & all kinds of other stuff. Keep in mind it needed nothing.
Well it came home to roost for a lot less money since he messed it all up including missing parts, a fried brand new battery and digital volt meter.\ just to mention a few.
Lesson learned never sell a vintage round hood to someone who doesn't have a clue regardless of age.
Yes I know buyer's tractor they can do what they want but a fine vintage round hood??? Not on my watch.
From here on out all tractors that are worth a hoot the buyer gets interviewed.
Note the tie wraps holding every thing all together.
