The quickie

[Renrag 69]

Well after 2 years i figured it was time to refresh the skin of my horse. After about 5 days spraying and approx 5 coats of clear, this is what come of my inexpensive quick paint job. There are some flaws, but i can fix those over time, till i can do it better. Thats all i can get it to let me upload. Sorry ik i got the tires haven't cleaned them yet either.

What engine is in that machine?  I see it is a vertical shaft, but I’m guessing some details need to be made clear.

Sorry busy couple days, it's a 82 11h briggs on horse with a 16 tooth gear. My 93 12h craftsman briggs fits and works, only difference is the way the cone set up is. I've found 2 that say fits 83 11h, but not listing for 82, is there any difference in 1 year? I'm  just learning on some of these facts. This is my first horse and a learning experience, I'm going to see if my 2015 ariens 17.5 would work, but it is a lot newer, close set up tho. I figure if it fits might be easier finding a one for it. Thanks for at least checking on my posts y'all.

    Oh yeah I went over the dash lettering today with white paint, I'll get picks after I clean it up a little. A paint marker does great untill you dab it a little to much leaving it to splatter 🙄, but all in all looks good, finally can read that I was supposed to read owners manual to operate 😂, boy I'm like 25 years late on that one.

Just a little added lighting too, I just need to find a old blinker to make that tail light blink. If I asked $600 for this machine and all the stock parts I set aside, all but the rear fenders (stock) are missing, would that be to much? I have way more in it, heck just deck alone cost half that to rebuild.

There are plenty of people who could find the value in this machine.  Many people say if it mows it’s worth at least $300.  Adding up what you have into it in your sales ad, you might find someone looking for a lawn duty machine.  Being that it’s a vertical shaft engine, the platform isn’t built as tough as what many of us here are used to... but that doesn’t mean it’s worthless.
