Hello,
Is anyone interested in a FREE 1981 AC 5020 (1/2) tractor? Well, less engine, tin and front axle? Less than 600 hours. My salvage recycler guy has been eyeballing this thing for six months, and before I let it go, just thought I'd try one last time to find it a friendly home. This is not a piece of junk that I'm trying to unload on some poor unsuspecting soul!
The short story is: An elderly friend of mine ask me to repair it as his friend used it, left it outside for 2 years and the rings stuck. He pull started it and it smoked badly.... I started this tractor (pull start only) and ran it with a box blade to see if I could unstick the rings with no luck but the PTO, transmission and rear end worked excellent. Pulled the engine, tore it down and sent the block, pistons and head (with valves) to the machine shop, where he was to pick it up and foot the bill. His priorities changed...gave me whets left of his tractor to off-set the labor.
To most anyone else this is a big chunk of scrap...but to the individual that has one and needs parts..or back up drive train components let me know. In addition to the remaining half of the tractor I still have the cam, crank, flywheel, starter, hyd. pump, water pump, injection pump...etc....Please PM me with any questions or information, otherwise I will have to let it go to the salvage yard....and that would be a sin (IMO)
Thanks, Mark
