New member here. I've been a long time lurker but yesterday I brought my new baby home
A B5100 and yeah I know it's small and under powered but is just right for my small yard in the city. I found 2 within 100 miles and they were both in decent condition considering the age but this one was $1500 and was $1000 cheaper then the local one in like condition. It has a underbelly deck that looks like patched Swiss cheese but the spindles and such look good at this point so I intend to make a shell for it.
I gave it a quick pressure washing, changed the oil and filter, replaced the air filter. It hammers at idle but is quiet when sped up and there's no blow by. I had some used injectors off a D850 engine I has cleaned and tested and the improved the starting a bit.
After dinner I ordered an OEM seat for it
