The reason to purchase this riding mower was a long summer fun project. 😜😜
I spent around $200 for this project
It came up very well and was so much fun...
Runs and cuts the grass very well too. 🤣🤣
Good for a spear mower in case the main riding mower fails.

Nice job, there's a guy in Montana that has a thread on flipping mowers!
 
This morning, I cut some tall weeds as a test proposal, and it went so well surprisingly.....

It seems strong enough to cut tall weeds even though it is only 18hp, but the engine is a twin cylinder engine.

Kinda hate to be a downer, but you got a complete tractor, that ran and moved for $200.00. Cleaned it and changed some fluids. I don't understand the "can it be revived" part in this.

Actually, I paid for it for $150 then bought some parts like a discharger, pulley, etc for $50
Total spent was $200.

I do not know but quite possibly a guy could say it was revived if it was headed to China as scrap metal. It is surprising when scrap prices go up the quality of things that get scrapped.
 
Over the years some of our renters will shall we say... Run off in the night.....They leave a lot behind which of course is nearly 100 percent trash. One left a new push mower and one left a fairly new Craftsman rider. The rider had steering issues but I am sure it could have been fixed. My wife told my son to just get rid of it so he took it to my place and shoved it in a ravine. I cannot understand why. It is down in there a good distance but I would like to get it out. The problem is I will probably destroy it pulling it out
 
Sorry that I didn't mention it was 1/2" unusual heavy rain in the middle of summer in northern California the night before I cut the weed.😥😥😥
There was so much moisture preventing the spark while mowing..😜😜😜
Yes, without rain, it was a serious danger to fire in northern California I even think about cutting the weed with a riding mower😩😩

I cannot imagine living in areas that are so dry that the tiniest spark can ignite a major fire. It has to be tough. If it was that way here we would have fire everyday from folks tossing cigerette butts. We are in what should be our driest period of the year and I cannot burn here because we either get rain almost everyday or a heavy dew.
