Maybe pulling a trailer through the woods or down the road. I doubt it will be pulling a plow any time soon. The brakes might need to be looked at, but they're not too $$. The tires are good. I've shopped a few different places and liner kits are all over the place as price goes. I suspect there may be a quality issue.. I'd really prefer to buy US made parts and not imported....<br />I haven't set a $ limit, but I'd like to do the engine correctly.<br />I'll probably have to have someone do the head and possibly the crankshaft, but I'm comfortable doing the wrench work.Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247474336436209096.post-60234624475093743722013-02-25T21:06:38.856-06:002013-02-25T21:06:38.856-06:00Erik:

Do you expect to work it hard or mostly putt with it? Have you got a dollar limit in mind? What else on the tractor will you be working on? Hydraulics, tires? My brand new CT Farm and Country catalog has many AC "B" parts, short blocks, heads, etc.<br /><br />You've got the skill and 'free' labor, just seems wise to have some prices so you can compare, knowing where you might be willing to draw the line.Coop a.k.a.
