My friend gave me a 200 for free so my kid can have his first project. Its a little rough but it runs and drive. Ill update as I get parts in for it. Hopefully I can get the kid mowing with it before the snow comes back.

I guess I never hit enter on my reply last month.

My friend planned on keeping it so he went through it, cleaned the tank and put new lines and filter to the fuel pump. He also put new ignition parts in and changed the oil. All I had to do was buy a new battery and it cranked right over. Next step was new tires as they were all flat and dry rotted although I really messed up the bead on the rear ones and have to get them done at a real shop once the new new pair comes in. After that I replaced the broken varidrive handle, all the belts and greased the whole thing up.

Well after months of waiting for parts from the dealer I finally got it mowing. They got all the hard to find parts but didn't call me for 3 months because they were still waiting on a pair of standard 3/8s nuts. Took it out for about 30 mins and lost spark so I ordered a new points and condenser set from I save tractors last night.

That is my next step. I have a spare MSD hvc 2 coil sitting around for my truck, that should put some good spark to it.😄

Oh I wouldn't really put that coil in, I think it has 3 to 4x the voltage as factory.

#36 of the assembly line in 1976 if i remember the serial number correctly.

Condenser fixed it but i ended up replacing it along with the coil and points. Ran it for about an hour or so between the boys driving it and mowing the yard and didn't have a single hiccup.
