project for my father in law

this will be fun! any advice?

That is a rare little machine, enjoy it.

I like that! MF Executive's are pretty darn hard to find. I've never seen one in person before. And that one looks complete too with the side belt guard and the battery cover, which are almost always missing. Should have a starter generator belt cover too. That looks to be the more common model 7E. There also was a model 8E too. The reason I say the 7E is more common is that I have seen 2 of them for sale on ebay in the past 6 months, both with decks, and at least one of them had a snow blower. So have fun with the project...hopefully the rearend is good, as that is where I, and several others have ran into trouble with these Dura Corp. tractors. Is it running currently?

COOL Executive! Advice??? Sell it to me for what you have in it and find something more common to restore. Parts are easier to find for Wheel Horse, Cubs, and Deere!
