New To Me 1872
 

I drove about 3 hours today and pickup-ed a pretty nice 1872. I bought for parts but it is too nice for that even my wife said so. :biggrin2: It runs great, but puffs a little blue smoke at start up. It does not have oil smell when it is running. Has 940 hours on a working meter. The PO spent 900.00 on it last year at the dealer getting all the leaks fixed. The steering valve was rebuilt at that time. It steers great. I am very satisfied with it and I think I got it at a descent price.

I have not purchased a book yet so I would appreatite it if someone could look it up and tell me what year it is. I think it is a early on just because the steering wheel looks different than my 1572 and it is a 1987 model I think. The numbers are as follows: MFG DATE C228G, Model Number is 143720100 and the serial number is 773553.

I am in the process of downloading the pictures, so they will be along in few.

Greg, that was built in 1988. You know the rules...we need pics!

Here are the pictures.

Congrats on your very nice 1872!

Congrats on the 1872 Greg!
Way to nice of a tractor to be a parts machine!

Nicest looking parts machine I've ever seen. That's a keeper. :beerchug:

Nice looking 1872!!!

Another vote for making it a keeper instead of a parts tractor, looks great! :beerchug:

Wow! Wish I could find that nice a parts tractor. Looks good!

Yep, it is a keeper. I am still looking for a rear for my 1772. When the Mag gets tired I have a D600 to go in its place.
