The starter occasionally acts up. There are no missing teeth on the flywheel. Other than that it runs excellent, does not burn oil, holds a charge, handles like a top, cuts very well and quickly. Come take a spin. I’ve had this tractor for several years and I have been restoring it for my own use. I since came to own a Ferris Z. Repairs and new parts include. Four new tirestwo new front wheels and all wheel and front pivot bearingsNew deck belt engagement system(dixie chopper OE upgrade to retro fit to the new style)New deck bearings, complete setNew deck beltNew voltage regulator, alternator, ignition switch. Custom made belt guide to keep the belt from falling off. New drive chains 3 of 4, all are working properNew fuel lines, petcocks, tank caps with guages. The deck can use some repair but its really heavy duty so it wont be falling apart any time soon. The parking break is worn out but I never used it anyways… It still holds but is in need of adjustment/repair. Everything sourced from Powermowersales in Florida, All OE Dixie equipment used. I’m in no rush to sell this tractor and they aren’t making any more of them..
