joinded looking for info for my 1963 I H 460 utility backhoe that I bought.I buy old lawn equiment fix and sell.I bought new my husqvarna yth1746 mower in 2001 my 1998 gth2250 husqvarna bought for $75.00 had a blown motor and a little tough to look at. I need the deck for another tractor sold that tractor and started to check out the 2250 to find it had loaded tires,good belts,new battery. so I found a motor for this thing and got it running put a push blade on the front and 3 point hitch with york rake on the back with chains makes this thing a little bulldoser and fun to work with .I love to fix things that most people given up all hope and think it is junk. clean. fix. paint if needed send it home they can't belive it is the same one! that is like a big pay check to me something I love to do and keeps out of trouble so it is a win win for me.oh yah 1 son.1dog.many ex old ladys

Welcome to the forum. I like to buy junk and fix it too. This is how you get to know your equipment. Being from Vermont are you into Maple Sugarin?

Welcome from Chelsea Vt. I have a few dead in the water machines you might be interested in taking on as a project. Walk behind snow blower and a rototiller both with blown engines.

Welcome to TBN

Used to travel down to pittsford for training many years ago. Lived in Addison County for a while.

I too like to tinker and fix things, most recent- a "free" pressure washer by the road. Sign said pump broken- couple of internal parts (not too expensive) and its essentially up and running. Gotta love roadside finds!
