The donor 125
 

I picked this up today because of the hydraulic lift. It has the rear lift, as well as a front blade. This thing is all cobbled up. It has a quietline 14hp in it. The frame has been notched. It's rough. I'm only taking what I need then sending the rest down the road. Here's some pics of it.

Nice pickup of some goodies!:beerchug:

Good to save those options Brent. It absolutely amazes me what people do to their cubs and the time spent to "make something work" when they could just put the original engine in or rebuild what they have, etc. My latest 4 digit just arrived and the unbelievable time it must have taken to butcher the hood, notch out the belt cut out in the frame, drill new holes, etc for the stupid Tecumseh that was put in only to run backwards than the way it should.... Rant over, again, good score on the pump setup and other stuff.

Looks like a homemade rear lift,are you keeping the motor?
Well done...
it is turkey season, cobble cobble cobble.

cobble cobble......lol, why didn't I think of that!! I think it's the factory rear lift that was broken, and fixed. If you look close you can see where the tube that holds the lift bar broke off and was welded back. I think they added that other piece for support.
As far as the motor, probably not. I think I'm going to sell it as a complete-ly cobbled tractor. Ha, get it?? lol Anyway, going to take the rear lift, hydraulic unit, rock shaft, front blade and skinny front wheels. Then sell the tractor as a whole. I have a spare 16hp engine in the event the engine in my 1650 craps out.
Hoping after I sell the rear lift, blade, and tractor I'll have a hydraulic lift for free. :D Might not be free, but I bet it'll be close.

Some people....I think this is 13th, 14th, something like that cub that I've had, and it is by far the most "interesting."

Gracias Senor!!
