So I have restored this guy to like new condition. I have a mower deck that is in great shape. It was a hobby for me but now its time to let it go to anyone who appreciates this great little tractor. I am not looking for a lot of money more just want someone who really likes them. Not shown in the attached pictures is the hood ornament that is now attached. I have a complete parts and owners manual for the tractor and the mowing deck and photos of the restoration process. One set of decals will make it complete. I am in central Connecticut area, contact me with any questions.

Maybe I can help with pricing. Decals are a must. I'd remove mower, deal with rust and repaint. Clean the engine area. Show the buyer oil change timing, any repairs/upgrades. Is steering firm, not sloppy. It's all about presentation. My 102 sold a few weeks ago for $1800.
I'm in lower Hudson Valley, always post on Craigs. Be patient, you are selling into a narrow field and have to find the right guy....took over a year to find my right guy. Lotsa luck.
