Browsing Craigslist this morning, I happened across a parts tractor being sold. It's an IH 482 with a replacement 12hp Briggs motor that "ran when parked". It was parked because (and this is what the guy said) "the trans-axle wasn't working right so I took it apart to fix it and didn't want to put it back together, it was more of a project than I wanted." So, he's selling a 482 with a "working" motor, trans in pieces, and the side panels are cut a bit to "allow more air flow for the bigger motor". He's got $125 on it but I'm sure he just wants it gone. So, what good is a 482? This one (in my point of view) basically comes down to a tractor minus engine and trans. What do you guys think?
