[QUOTE="wkheathjr, post: 3143, member: 497"] Ok, I editted my profile so the layout looks different. It should work now.. Thank for helping on that! I have to admit that someone made a comment that raised some concern. The hydrostatic pump that could cost about 6,000 dollars. if this is true and the 631 is missing it then that's something for me to reconsider. Let's face two options here that I recently thought of... A) I could borrow the money and buy used one for around 4,000 to 8,000 (That's how much they are selling out here) then make a payment of around 200-250 a month for few months. Could be 1,000 dollars in monthly payment before I resell it to pay off the loan. B) Buy this 631 for 500 dollars, sell my old 92 S-10 to use the money to buy parts. Put some muscle to work sweating and burning/cutting hands. Maybe get it going, maybe NOT! Be lucky if get it going and make it reliable like a workhorse, but it might break too many times. What's it marketing value for rebuilding it back from the death?? Right now, Option A sounds better to me. Just get it sometime in the fall when construction companies slow down and sell old one just to get rid of some financing burden and I can work when it is cool/cold outside. After I get done with it, there will be a new construction or landscape company wanting to buy old and cheap one that they buy it off my hand and I pay off the loan. I get to keep my old truck to do some yardworks because 50+ acres is a lot and my truck could be handy until I get a tractor. [/QUOTE]
