alrights guys, Update on the tractor. Was going to see what yal thought. My tractor guy started looking at the tractor the other day. Put some fresh oil in there and hooked up a new battery and bam, fired right up. He noticed there was lots of leaks in the fuel line , and he only ran the tractor for a few seconds. So at this point we were feeling really good :thumbsup: I then heard from him the next day and he said he looked at it again, and noticed a big problem. The engine block is cracked and what the old man told me was hydraulic fluid mixing with the oil is actually water I know i can get what i paid for out of the tractor if i sell it, with the harrow included. I just dont think i want to invest the money to repair this problem. What do yal think? Its got a new tranny, loader works fine, New tires on the back. So far the 1400 i paid for it is all the money i have invested in this piece.

In our state, it is against the law to sell a tractor with a cracked block. Ken SWeet
