I posted a couple weeks back to get price advice on a tractor I located for sale on CL. It was 120 miles away, out on the Olympic Peninsula. Ended up getting it for $3500. It is 4WD, standard trans, and has a working hour meter that reads 430. Appears to have been from CA (decal on seat), and does not have a loader. All the fluids were of adequate level and looked good. Think it was probably used for mowing and tilling. Seal at the PTO is leaking some, but no other leaks visible. The engine stop cable was missing, and all the lights did not work. Engine seemed to run well.
Began by changing the oil & filter, and the air filter. Then cleaned the battery, topped up the water, and fully charged it. Discovered the fusible link was fried, so replaced that (white plug near starter on pic). Installed fuses were 15 and 20 amp, but should have been 5 & 10, so replaced those. Corrected bad grounds at the tail lights. Headlight lenses were gone or damaged, and local Kubota wanted $86 ea to replace them, so opted for an amazing led light instead. Rigged it with steel plate from Lowe's. It puts out a very bright beam (see pic). Got a cable at an auto parts store to replace the missing engine stop cable.
Have ordered a new seat (Amazon), and a ROP kit from Kubota. Will be replacing the front tires. Much more to do...
