Well, I tried to shoehorn this Kohler CH18 into a engineless 149, and then I came across most of a 682. So I've decided to build a tractor out of all these partial tractors I have sitting around, just to do it. It will look like a 782 when done. I have a 1641 frame that I installed the CH18 engine into, the cast iron rear from the 149, and the dash (and soon to be fenders and hood) and steering box and steering wheel from the 682, and the hydraulic spool from the 149, custom bent and custom flare fittings reusing pluming from the 1641 and the nuts from the 149 pipes, a 1641 lift cylinder, and a 1641 axle. Oh and part of a driveshaft and the wiring harness (modified) from a 2185. Here are couple picture previews of the this project.
