It's actually in good mechanical condition and has very few hours. Some kid painted it acouple of times, and it has been in the weather for a long time. The band brakes work. The engine runs great. The torque converter system is like new. If I put a belt on it, and hooked the throttle cable up, I could ride. The worst thing is Manco painted their frames without primer,and once it cracks,it pulls off in sheets. Give me 6 months and it will look like new.:thumbsup: I can do all the tear down paint and reassembly in a few days time, but there are minis ahead of it, and the weather doesn't always work with me on my days off.
