Amazing transformation! I believe I remember seeing that one posted somewhere before, was "redone" by the dealer before sitting out for years.....

Nice save! Sure is shiny now, looks like new again. I do love those 900 series!

Yes, Chris727, the guy I got it from said his dad had a dealer do $600 worth of work on it and it sat for 3 years because the dad's health declined. I guess most of the work must have been the engine since it runs great and does not smoke or make any weird noises. Thanks for the kind words. Gary

Nice job! Any progress pictures you can share? What was involved? Was it a full teardown and rebuild, or just repaint the tins?

[bigdog46 2]

No, I do not have any progress pictures. I spent a lot of time on the deck as I had to treat the rust with Extend, repair some cracks, replace bearings, fabricate the angle piece of the rock guard, install belt covers, prime & paint. On the tractor I had to replace tires, seat, hydro pump fan, cover, drive belt, seat deck latches, steering wheel center cap, muffler, 916 Hydro decals and repaint entire tractor.
