What is it? Mystery machine
 

I found a cyclops tractor today that has the motor half torn apart, but there are no numbers on the hood.It doesn't look like a Kohler or even a diesel, maybe its a retrofit out of something else. Looks like it has 3 cylinders, water cooled,etc. I can probably pick it up for under $50, thought it might be good for parts for my 1872....maybe? I have been searching all over this site and google,etc for info....but no luck.

I know this kind of question has been asked a million times, what if the powers that be made a sticky that had some decoding info about the CCC models.....just a suggestion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The model number is 142-743-100
Serial number is 827547

If it's water-cooled and not a diesel, that's a 2182 with a Kubota gas engine. There's very little in it that's interchangeable with your 1872, however.
