I am getting a toro wheel horse 15-38hxl lawn tractor for a project. It will sometime crank over but others it’s just dead as a door nail. And smokes. is there anything I should know?

I believe this is an attempt to compete with MTD. It is not the older style with the angle iron frame. I had one of these new style Toros and it spent more time in the shop then at my house. Investigate it's valve before you spend much money on it.

That should give you an idea of it's value.

That LT was Toro built. Not a bad little ride. Smokes with Briggs OHV, likely a head gasket or possibly the oil has been diluted w/ fuel due to a carb issue. They use little micro safety switches and mostly the little brake switch rusts away and fails if the problem is in the safety line. If you are using the deck, it would be good to know that it is sound and not rotting where the pivot on top the deck fastens.
