Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 1992 craftsman indy 500 tractor, checkered flags, danny sullivan

Question
i have found a 1992 craftsman gt6000 tractor, with indy 500 on the side of the hood, and a # 18 on the bottom side of the hood.
where the # 18 is i usually see pics of tractors with just checkered flags and indy 500. my ? is is this the tractor for danny sullivan since his car was # 18 that year. or anything about it.
model # 917.250910
motor is 18hp horizontal twin
model #422437
type# 1278 01
code# 92010612
the only thing i was able to find is the date it was made
may 11.1992
im wanting to restore it and wonder if it would be worth it for a collector
thanks
mike

Answer
HI


TENTATIVLEY I WOULD SAY YES   YOU CAN STILL GET PARTS FOR BRIGGS HORIZONTAL OPPOSED TWINS

DATE CODE OF ENGINE PUTS YEAR OF MANUFACTURE @ 06/01/92    

IF YOU WERE TO KEEP THE TRACTOR IN AS NEAR TO ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE  IT COULD QUITE POSSIBLY BE WORTH  SOMETHING

THIS DEPENDS ON ITS CONDITION NOW AND WHAT YOU PAID FOR IT  ? AND HOW MUCH DETAIL YOU PUT INTO IT
