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.
