Will it run? John Deere 2653A sitting for 10+ years

Today we begin work on restoring this John Deere 2653A that I picked up for cheap on Facebook Marketplace. It has been sitting for years and did not run when I picked it up, so we got it running, next time we are going to check out all the hydraulics and potentially tear into the cutting units.

Tires say the hour meter has not worked in a couple thousand hours. In good condition they are about a $9k machine.

Very informative lawn mower repair video and may I ask are you up for a collaboration on gasoline lawn mowers. Hipa supplies parts for small engines and you get the knowledge of small engine repair and maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.
