305 380 #1 Posted August 20, 2020 700 Workhorse , found it on Facebook Marketplace and it's now home after a 175 mile round trip road trip. my plan is to ditch the incorrect engine and install a good H70 i happen to have ready. then grease it up , fix a few things, sharpen the blades and go mow. tires seam to hold air i'm kinda diggin' the headlights , they may stay! 10 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,303 #2 Posted August 20, 2020 That appears to be in nice shape. Headlights look great...their great for plowing snow...to see and be seen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

305 380 #8 Posted August 20, 2020 thanks for all the nice comments. it has been sitting for a long time , so checking it over i find both the original choke and throttle cables work fine. motor is toast. drained the transaxle....how much does a 5053 hold? i'm out of gear lube , have to go pick some up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 23,303 #10 Posted August 20, 2020 1 1/2 qts to 2 qts of 90 wt. Fill until it starts to leak out of the fill hole on the left side of the transmission behind the axle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
