wedge 80 #1 Posted June 3, 2018 So I was on Face book looking at junk for sale and This Pops up ! Plus it was Close to me !!! So I went to look at it and find out it was this boy's Grand fathers Who Passed away . He Bought it New and was always in the Gurage . The engine has a oil leak and the deck has Bad Rust out. ( Note looking for a deck !) When he told me what he wanted for it I loaded it in my truck ! Don't see this kind of Original paint very often. Want to mow with it but Keep it as you see it Just Cleaner !! 4 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had to just see if it would Mow and did the Whole Yard Did some Minor adjustments to the Brake and PTO drive and sprayed some Degreaser on Her and Looks Great for her age !!! It is a KEEPER FOR SURE !!! 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 4,874 #11 Posted June 5, 2018 The only thing I see is clean and paint the rims and it will look like new. I had a 1257 kinda like that all original . They are hard to find but when you do it feels great to own it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about where you live but up here in the Northeast those nice-looking Survivor type tractor are rare as hen's teeth 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a KEEPER FOR SURE !!! It looks like it has the original mower deck wheels. They were white. The tractor can't have to many hours on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
