So I would need to rebuild and install the engine. I was able to do a 2.7 engine, a 915 and a G50. I can do the work.

I end up with a good snow plow/garden tool, or I flip it for $4-5k.

I do not need one. I do want one.

What does the brain-trust here say? Worth it, or am I crazy taking this on?
I think 2K for a 610 with a blown motor is a bit high. My only concern would be not knowing how the hydraulic system works or if there are many leaks in the system.
