"...but as this isn't a newer model- I'm unsure of the value"

I'd view that as a plus in the tractor's favor.

Fix it and it'll serve someone for a long time.

Don't know if you have an OM, but here's the link.

Man I wish someone would gift me GT6000. Seen Hydro cub 682 or similar model the other day for 100 bucks. Looked like new and had bagger system on it along with canopy. Horz. Vanguard had knock. that's $1000 dollar engine minimum.

Yeah, I couldn't pass it up. By appearances the tractor looks good, but you know how people are wanting the latest and greatest. I suppose I should just order up a mandrel and a clutch- maybe treat it to new blades and see what happens. If nobody wants it, maybe invest inna set of chains and see what she'll do.... Too bad it isn't a bit heavier.

Sears sells wheel weights for that model reasonable and you can load the tires.

If you catch the sleeve hitch for that on sale it can make a nice little worker.

That's right- they did have an Ok sleave hitch for them. Thanks.
