$1500 . Rough shape . As this is a hobby , it would be a $$$ losing project . $800 might leave some money on the bone but at that even , it would be nice if it ran .
This can NOT be this difficult getting these springs balanced . Do I have to back off on the spring tension ? One more attempt today before calling the garage door service 1/4 mile away . 
Ha! I just finished John Deere's version of these tractors.....a 1968 year model 110. It had had a Krylon overhaul about 18/19 years ago and had been setting for at least 15 of those years with fuel in it. Stuck valves, carb glued together with dried fuel residue plus the overlooked mechanical issues. These tractors have a variable speed drive ahead of a 4 speed trans. You can drive at .4 thru 7 mph with the throttle against the governor keeping the PTO at full speed. Kind of a hydrostatic drive result with all mechanical components. Kool but complex. Took about a week to get it sorted. Amazingly I was able to buy all but one of the worn out parts from John Deere and it was easily made on the Southbend.LOL , I just scoped a 2072 out on CL .
Seems as though it takes 30/33 quarter turns on most springs.....as best as I remember.So back to the garage door issues . We wound the springs yesterday and the door was open all day .
It’s been years since I had springs replaced (hope I’m not due again), but the door guy wound them so there are 8 rows on each side (which I think means 8 turns?). I have a 6’-8” x 16’ door with an opener, but works well manually.So back to the garage door issues . We wound the springs yesterday and the door was open all day . After 6 hours of throwing things away , I went to shut the door . The door closed quickly to the bottom and then popped up just as quick leaving a foot opening at the bottom .
