I have a 1970 Rugg True-Test. This unit has its original electric start engine that spins freely. The unit itself is not locked up either and rolls fairly well.
Overall would be a good restoration piece as everything is very solid. (Minus the seat) The seat is bad due to it being outside and having a cushion on it that held moisture to the metal.
Looking to sell or trade for other mini mowers or tractors. A mini tractor would be great for our little collection. Please send me whatever cash or trade offers you have.
Let me know if you have any questions or want me to send you a walk around video.
