weekend free-bee

[firefoxz1 1]

Here a tractor I picked up free this weekend. Decided to much money would need to be invested so it a donor machine. Looks good though.

Nice Find. Whats wrong with it?

All the belts and the pins to mount the deck, notice the wire holding the deck up. The motor leaks oil so it will have to come off anyway. No belts to try the tranny all though it shifts through the gears when sitting. Main reason is I have so many "real" orange machines I don't needs this except for parts to repair the others that come through here. When going through it, all the little things add up to "this ones not worth it".

I'd always heard Airens machines were well built tractors.

This does seem like a sturdier machine than box store. If not for need of so many "missing" parts it would be a fine machine for someone.
