So I have a little time and a lot of junk. I have taken a fairly decent engine that uses a little oil from a parts C, a fairly decent manifold and gasket from another parts B, along with various parts from different "donors", and am attempting to build a "fairly decent" tractor without spending any additional money other than what I previously spent for the donor tractors. Just doing it to see if I can.

Who thinks it'll run "fairly decent"?

Who thinks it'll run "fairly bad"?

Who thinks i'm wasting time on a pile of worn out parts?

B & C parts seem to be plentiful here about. I'll bet you come out good.

I think it will come out just fine, and you will have fun doing it!

Brent, I think you will come out just fine. Let me know what extra parts you have left over.

I think it's gonna work too. Looking forward to getting back on it. I have the engine in place, manifold, governor assembly, and a "rehabbed" starter mounted on it. Got a carb soaking and parts from another one to make one good one. Have to get a mag together, and ill be ready to see if it's gonna make noise.

Then it'll be a question of whether I can find a radiator and a fuel tank that will keep the water and fuel on the inside. Also have a few water pumps to try. I think one might be OK. If not, can you replace the seals in those?
