John,
If the deck's in good shape it's probably worth what your friend paid for the whole outfit.
I was really surprised, that deck doesn't look like it's ever been patched, the deck around the spindles aren't even pitted, deck is in great shape. He got a heck of a deal on that little tractor.
I like working on those old tractors, unfortunately he's parked it in his shop and it's lower on his list of projects lol which is bugging me, it's not even mine and I'm jonesing to go to a case dealer, buy a rebuild kit for the carb, a service manual and start tearing it apart lol.
Rebuild the carb, fix the shifter, it's missing the choke rod, that needs replaced and both battery connectors need replaced, whoever did those last time did a poor job crimping the braided wires. After all that's done she should be mowing. Almost forgot, needs a new muffler lol.
That was a project I wish I bought lol.
