Spose your cutting a few acres of grass with it?

Is it a dually also?
What are you going to use it for....

Yes. it's also a dually, the extended axle kind where the outer hubs attach to the axle. It does need some work, the cab interior soundproofing and seat are shot and it's a wonder the rear tires are still holding air. The water pump is shot but a good working one was included in the deal as are a set of decent rear tires... we just have to change them and the rubber blocks in the coupling between the engine and hydraulic pump are shot and someone has dinked around with the fuel return line on the injectors and that has a small leak that makes a mess. Almost needless to say all the fluids and filters need changing. All in all it was a decent deal and the plan for now is to fix it and use it for a bit around my buddy's small 80 acre acreage. If it proves to be totally unsuitable, we figure we can always sell it. At 150 Hp on the pto it would make a good power source for a farmer with a large grain auger. Some of those are huge, I recently saw one for sale that was 16" diameter and 103 feet long.

Mace, nice toy! Photos as you get her back in shape. Nice find

Mace, that tractor is F'ing decent boys!

The cab interior kit shouldn't be hard to find.
The dampener between the engine and pump isn't hard to find or install either if it is like my old 2355.

How many hours does it have? Ours has 9,XXX and still running fine.

 

[Mace Canute]

The hour meter showed 9000 and some. The engine sounded very good when we fired it up yesterday, nice even idle with no "hunting" and very little smoke on a cold day.
