Picked up 7018 I purchased on Ebay last week - a "No Engine, Good for Parts" Tractor. Pretty sure it had an engine fire. Bought it for the BGB, Hydro, Rear Rims, and Deck.

When I first saw the listing's photos, I thought it might have an electric lift since the lift lever was gone. My Homelite T-12 has an electric lift with the switch on the face of the dash tower above the key. The listing had a closeup of the dash tower, and there wasn't any switch, so I figured the manual lift lever was MIA. But to my surprise:

Including the switch and wiring harness:

Even the seat is in great shape, not a single rip, just dirty:

And the two rear tires are almost new; The right front tire is new (still has nubs) and is mounted on a new rim. And I almost didn't bid on the tractor!

I'm glad someone from here got it! I was going to bid on it but I'm trying to get rid of some stuff so that I can get the garage built this summer. GregB

That one was within 20 miles of me. I should have took that third look. Not really, don't need anymore projects right now. Glad it went to someone in the club. I think I will have to look a little closer to details like that in the future though.
