I recently added a 1253 and 1256 to my existing fleet of 2- 1050's and the parts g14. I came across the 2 tractors on craigslist. The ad said to make offer for the 2 tractors, rototiller, and blower. So from just seeing the pics in the ad I shot low for $200 figuring the attachments and parts were worth that kind of money easy. I didnt expect the answer I got. He emailed back and said there yours, come get them!! :bounce:WOOO HOOO! Well they both are decent. I got the 1256 running but both need to be gone through/ restored. Well springs here so they are sitting inline in my barn with all there bolens buddies til i get the time to repair them. I will keep everyone updated. Enjoy the pics!
Added to the fleet!! I got work to do!!
