How many hours does the motor have on it?They always seem to be missing the side panels.Looks like it won't need much to get it back in presentable shape.

Lew it is a power angle but the cylinder was removed and a piece of angle iron was welded in. Guess he didnt want it to move. Motor has about 1050 hrs on it. Wiring harness is a shambles and I dont even know why it starts and runs. The fender tin is beat beyond repair and like wise with the hood. Pics make it look in better shape than it really is. I have the side panels and they are in nice shape and I also have the grill which is in really nice shape. I am not sure what the fate of this old girl is yet. Ray W wants it real bad. Decisions Decisions:bigthink:

Nice score on the 1572 Kelly!:beerchug:

I would keep it.With the low hours on it ,you could gather enough parts for it to make it part of your den,cub den that is...You know what Ray will do to it...

I agree, with Lew. I'd keep it too. Hope you keep it, Kelly. :ThumbsUp:

You may be surprised at that Kubota engine. If he removed the cooling fan to install a block heater, maybe he only ran it to move snow. If that was the case, as long as the water pump was running, it may not have ever overheated. The outside air temp would keep the radiator fluid cool enough to keep the engine temps in range. Those Kubota engines are tough! Good luck!

I would bet it only moved manure, a common "unitasker" application of Cub Cadets.

Pushin' a blade is a job for a 10hp gas engine, the diesel did not know it was doing anything!!

How long will a diesel run without a load without needing a fan??:bigthink:

Blogett Mills aka Skyline raceway. Earl that is exactly what it was used for scraping barn floors.
