Received this as a donation to help my granddaughters with their gardening plots. Original owners have downsized their gardening tasks and no longer have need. Tractor runs/operates good and has always been maintained well.
Should serve well for years to come.

Thanks. Prior owners were teachers and had both of my kids in the school years. We were very involved in their activities growing up so they've known me many years. I hauled their Simplicity zero turn mower in for routine service and the kids come up during the conversation which was the start of this gift.

When the kids were in school each of my auto body shops had a scrap trailer kept around for the sheet metal, and recyclable salvage. This was run over the scales and the checks made out to the education entity they were attending. The monies were allocated to sports equipment purchases, musical item ensembles, and/or items benefiting handicapped students. I don't know a single dedicated teacher that doesn't, or hasn't taken funds from their own pocket to support some kid's education that would not benefit from it. These actions helped out.
Though I'm out of the auto body repair arena, I'm carrying on with the granddaughter's schools and have several folks donate aluminum cans, and many recyclables as they know where, and how it ends up. Keeps me busy at times and allows me to "give back" to a limited degree.

Going after a "920"with a Lombardini diesel engine this weekend. Belonged to a customer's deceased father and was a good tractor but in a storage conex box the last six years. Don't know much more about it but has a tiller attached.
More on this later.
