Going to look at a 2072 tomorrow.
 

Listed in the CL finds on OCC, I talked to the owner for awhile today to get an idea of the condition and it needs some work but, doesn't sound too bad. Had a new Kohler 20hp installed in it about 10 years ago. It needs all the average tinkering like carb rebuild, battery, tuneup, and has a broken bracket/spindle where the power steering cylinder hooks to. I don't know much about supers so, are there any tips on what to look out for on this model? I don't have any pics yet but, I'll get some when I get up there.

Thanks.

Take a good look at the transmission mounts, look for oil leaks at the bottom of the steering box/ control valve. Drive shaft. etc. If it's the one up in Keene for $500 it probably a good deal. Pretty sure Patton has the PS bracket.

Thanks Sam, It is the one in Keene. It's 45 minutes away so, I figured Why Not? I've been looking for a super for awhile.

91 north to route 9 east to Keene. LOL I've been to Keene a few times Nice town. Rokon motorcycles were made in Keene, I used to own one. Stupid fast for the day. :beerchug:

Yeah I posted that, as I was cruising CL and saw a 2072 pretty cheap! Let us know how you make out and remember how we all like to see pics!

Hope you get the 2072 and good luck!

Good luck on the 2072! Sounds like a good deal!

We must be neighbors - good luck with the 2072! Will look forward to hearing how it goes....

Where are you from? What do you think of our snowstorm? I don't think I'm going to Keene today. I did'nt think we were going to get as much as we did.

If or when you get it get ready for a great time to be had,I've had a few cubs but none of them hold a candle to being as well liked as my 2072.Oh and if you're a tall person,you'll absolutely love all the leg room.Good luck and:WWP:

I hope to have some pics tomorrow. I never got up there today because of the snow and the guy that owns it plows snow as well so he was busy.

Were you able to check out this tractor?

No, My 91 year old mother in law fell and broke her hip yesterday so, we were at the hospital all day. I guess I'm going to pass on it so If you're interested give him a call. I'd love to get it but, family comes first.

Sorry to hear about your MIL. Thoughts and prayers for her!

Thanks Allen, She's had a rought time lately. She broke her other hip about 4 months ago and had to go into a nursing home. It sucks when you get that age.

X2!:Pray::Pray:

Hope everything works out for you and your MIL.

Thanks, Sam.

I see that he has pics of it posted now. Not bad for $500.00 wish it was closer.

He sent me those last night. It looks pretty good and definetly worth it. Hope someone on here gets it. Just bad timing for me.

I found this 2072 near Raleigh it doesn't run and it looks like it's been beat to death and he wants almost twice as much.

I wonder if it has the rear pto on it?

No idea, give him a call.

I got one :-)

Seems like you guys get all the Supers over there! :biggrin2: Like many others, I wish I was closer.

Muzzy; best of luck with everything, we're all pulling for you and your family :beerchug:

Randy, I'm seeing a switch in the dash tower and the lights should be run off the key......:bigthink: Someone needs to give him a call.

Allen, that one is close to you.

Somebody got it!:bigthink:

That's not a bad deal at all for $500!

Todd, it's 45 mins from me.

Sorry to hear about your MIL.

I went down this afternoon and bought it for the $500 he was asking. The engine runs good, tranny worked fine the little I could drive it with the broken steering. Starter needs some attention, and it needs new front tires. Metal is all there and straight, and it included a Gravely snow plow hooked up to a CC mount.

Congrats on the 2072! :beerchug:

X2! Great deal!:beerchug:

:beerchug:

Glad you picked it up Muzzy because I have too many tractors already.....

Muzzy didn't buy it, yodaddy is the guy that bought it.

Sorry my brain fart. Not enough coffee this morning. :coffee:

Enjoy yodaddy, looking forward to seeing it in the snow! (Im pretty sure we will be getting more snow....). :beerchug:

So for the guy with eyes on target, does it have the rear PTO?

Congrats Yodaddy. Glad to see someone here got it. :beerchug:

Which 2072? The one yodaddy bought for $500 or the one in the link the Sam posted for sale? I'm with Todd. Looks like you can see a toggle switch for a rear PTO on the link of Sam's post.

After review it was the one that Sam found.....dooh. and yea its been used very good from the looks of it!

I gave a lot of thought about going after this one but it's a 4 hour one way ride and I'm not in the mood to spend $950.00 for one that doesn't run. Yes he said it has an electrical issue but if it's more than that it could get very expensive. Looks like it's pretty well used up.
