I'm being given this tractor by a customer of mine. It has sat for a few years so it needs stuff replaced that you would expect. Tires, hoses, seat, battery, etc. It also needs bevel case seals and a good washing and servicing. It looks like I'm going to have about $1600 in parts, my cost, and roughly 10-12 hours in labor to put it back into good operating condition.
Right now I'm torn between doing the fast turn to a buddy for the cost of the parts, plus $1000 for my time and energy, or advertising it and trying to get $4000+ for it. I could use the money right now, going on vacation in 2 weeks, plus I have a slight lull before my business advertising kicks in, so I have the time too. But, making $2000+ if I'm patient is appealing too.
What do you guys think it is worth, and what would you do?
