Will be picking up this fine survivor tomorrow as well. Fortunately, the tag lead me to it being a Hardee and their "Parts Department", Mr. Harry Prince supplied the rest!
1974 Hardee T 166 LTO
Plan is for a good pressure washing (once 60* sunny days are the norm), straightening a few bar in the press, disassemble/clean/R&R the driveline & clutch. Hoping the gearbox ain't soupy/rusted mess (since Harry said the gears are now un-obtainable). Bearings in tailwheel are shot, but appears to be sound. Will add (either purchase or fab) new chain curtain for the front... undecided about the back, thoughts?
Hoping it won't be too much for the 8N for spring/fall mowing of 8-10 acres and some trail grooming (mostly laurel & other saplings)?
