Since it has a Vert Briggsey, I would bet a diaphragm replacement in the carb will get it running. Easy fix.:banana-wrench:

Nice find, Dave. I like your idea of making it a cart for getting around at shows.

So, I'm not surprised the seller said the tractor had a bit of a carb problem. I have revived a couple dozen tractors now, and this is by far the worst gummed-up carb I have come across.  I got a kit for it, but after messing with trying to clean up the float and bowl a little bit I have decided to just to replace those as well.  Can't wait to get it all back together and see how it runs.

Never heard it put that way before Wayne, a Lawn Skiff....:ROTF: I say you make her happy and get her one. If your Grand Daughter is a beginner they seem like an excellent choice, nice clear view when sitting on as well...

Thought I would post a follow-up on this one...  I hadn't given up on doing something like that little Cub in my first post, and finally got around to working on it again.  I knew if I put anything on the back, I probably didn't want the engine exposed.  I have seen a screen over the back part of the body on some versions of these, but I'm not sure the Workhorse version ever had one.  Rather than try to track one down, I got a HVAC return screen from Lowes and bent and cut it to fit.

The next step was some sort of cargo bed for the back.  I kicked around several ideas, but finally settled on sort of a cargo rack like you would have on a quad.  The best part is the rack is primarily made up by guard rails off one of my son's old toddler beds that I couldn't bring myself to throw away.

On the front I mounted a bumper that is made for MTD riding mowers.  I had to hack up the mounting brackets, fab some additional brackets of my own, and drill some holes underneath to get it all to work, but it ended up looking pretty clean.  Of course you have to have lights on a front bumper like that, so I mounted some LED's just in case.

Last weekend we had our first snow.  I had to scramble to finish getting the C-160 ready for snow duty, but once I did and the plowing was done, I hopped on the RR832 for a little play.  It's no quad, but it still did a pretty good job running around the yard.

Nothing wrong with giving the old stuff a bump once in a while. It's all here for the record so...

I don't remember seeing this one. The guy did a nice job with it and it looks much better like that.

(Miss some of the old timer RS members from the past that were around and used to post all the time, and some that have passed like Wayne.)
