Got it at a good price. There is definately that much in parts. I would like the front rims myself.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Most of the time I need to push on the belt when turning to stop the belt from slipping. If it turns easily with the fan belt then there is a problem somewhere.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Even if it has a cracked block or is not repairable, you can get $400 out of it in parts. If it's running, that's an excellent price. 50 Tips   [Reply]   [Send Email]
