My new old ebay tractor

[gtwygreg 0]

I picked this up on ebay a little while ago. It's a 73 3416h, It was in non-running condition (no spark). It has a 16 briggs with hydro and power lift. It came with snowblower, 42" deck, rear tiller, rear vacuum and cart. I thought i did okay since I paid $398.00 for everything. Over the next couple months I'll be restoring it and posting photos as I go along. I'm really pumped and can't wait to start!

Looking forward to seeing your progress on restoration. I think you got a super deal. It's a great tractor, similiar to my Homelite T-12, my favorite tractor.

I love those tractors. Get it running good first so you can assess the hydro, see if you need new seals, also try it mowing. Do the cosmetics after you have her mechanically sound. Welcome to the club.

Thanks for welcoming me to the club everyone. I've done a few tractors over the years, but this one will hopefully be my masterpiece.
