Nice 401! The electric start is not original, but it looks pretty well done. Should clean up nice!

Gotta say I don’t think there’s much value in that tractor.  Way to rough to restore or even patina.  I tell you what, i’ll Take it off of your hands to prevent you from having to spend any more money on it.  Promise I’ll give it a good home😂!  

 

Seriously, very nice survivor.  I’d just clean it up, give it a going over mechanically, and enjoy it!  Very nice score!

:text-welcomeconfetti:Great looking survivor.  I like that homemade electric start. Maybe not original, but adds character. Speaking of characters, you'll find plenty of them, good help and addictive therapy around here.

thanks, if you search around here lots of good tips on patina refinishing.  I think it was member amc, I used his approach with Johnson paste wax.

 

watch the battery under seat I remember reading on another site a dude hit a bump and got a good jolt on the behind

Steel wool, WD-40 and some 400 Wet/Dry sand paper will do wonders.
