tractor for trade

Post  mark65 on February 1st 2012, 9:00 am

Hello. Stumbled on this site recently. First time on a forum. I have a sears 6/16 twin tractor model # 917.25180, for parts or restoration, with mower deck # 917.253110 and snow blower # 842.260051. The tractor body is in fair condition. Mechanically I believe is pretty sound. The onan engine is not siezed as I was able to turn the engine pully. I would like to trade the whole package towards a restored or good running simalar tractor so I can use the ag plow I have to start gardening again. I hope I am not being unrealistic about the tractors value. I don't really want to part it out, but i will sell the items separately. I live in CT. Thanks for looking. P.S. I have the original owners manuals for these items as well as the three point hitch and 10" ag plow.

TRADING TRACTORS

Post  Georgia SS on February 2nd 2012, 8:55 am

HI MARK
YOU ARE SAYING YOU HAVE A FAIRLY COMPLETE SEARS TRACTOR WITH A 3 POINT HITCH AND ONE PLOW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT MAY BE WELL TO DO SOME REPAIR RATHER THAN SELL AND RE BUY. FIRST THING TO CONSIDER IS TRANSPORTATION, UNLESS YOU CAN FIND ONE LOCALLY YOU WILL PAY AN ARM AND LEG FOR SHIPPING. YOU DID NOT MENTION HOW MUCH YOU KNEW ABOUT THE TRACTOR OR IF YOU HAD OWNED AND USED IT. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE PRICES NOW DAYS TO REBUILD FROM GROUND UP IT IS INSANE. YOUR ENGINE MAY JUST NEED A GOOD TUNE UP. CARB. REBUILD IS WORTH $150, BATTERY, BELTS , PULLEYS, TIRES,
MAYBE A SEAT, DRAG LINK, TIE ROD ENDS, AND THIS BABY WILL BE GOOD FOR MANY YEARS. IF YOU BUY ONE WITH JUST A NEW PAINT JOB YOU ARE NO BETTER OFF MECHANICALLY..A LITTLE RUST ON YOUR OLD MACHINE DON'T HURT THE RUNNING. I AM BUILDING 5 ST & GT TRACTORS FROM BOTTOM TO TOP SO I HAVE THERE. HOPE YOU CAN FIND ONE CLOSE BY. WELCOME TO THE SEARS TRACTOR SITE. JIMMY IN SOUTH GEORGIA
