Picked up a 2182 SGT
 

Found this on CL and brought it home yesterday. The front grille section is broke where it mounts to the frame but the side panels are good, I'll be contacting the sponsers for some replacement parts. It doesn't run and hasn't for a while. The owner purchased this tractor about 5 or 6 years ago and soon after that it had problems with the rear. He took it to the local dealer and spent $1800 on getting it repaired. He wasn't sure what they did and said if he could find the dealer invoice he would send it to me. It looks like the axle carriers are new and the case has been opened. I'm thinking that the rear came loose and that's why they changed them. He told me that after he got it back and a few hours of mowing grass that there was a noise coming from the front of the engine so he hauled it back to the dealer. They told him that it needed another $480 in parts for a new pto clutch. He didn't have them do it, brought it back home and parked it under his deck and didn't use it much, found something else he wanted and decided to sell it.

Nice score on the 2182, Oak! :ThumbsUp:

Congrats! I know you've been wanting one for a while now. Looks like a good project to keep you out of trouble for a couple weeks or so.:biggrin2: I'm looking forward to your progress!

OAK,
Nice find. Please let us know some more about the gas motor when you get it running. I have been thinking about putting that same engine in my 1872. A diesel would be nice but I like to be different. I have heard that they run real smooth. They are supposed to be the same bottom end as the diesel. so I would have to think that running on gas they would last about forever.

I know Patton has the parts you need , He just had one there. I need to call him and make sure he doesn't sell that engine just yet.

What a cool find, it's kinda neat to see it with the side panels and the front off, amazing how much they cram in there.

Great find, Oak! Looking forward to seeing it brought back to life.

When I looked at the pictures, I assumed it was a diesel. I'm not familiar with this engine......can someone tell me more about it? Thanks

It's a 3 cylinder, liquid cooled, 21 HP gasoline engine. Kubota model WG600B.

I learned something too. Was not aware of a 3 cyl. gas engine. Very cool.

That pipe makes it look like Diesel engine.
