Well my 1450 was going to get a full resto.....until I Found a local 2182 on Craigslist.
Slapped the trailer on the truck and headed out on a journey to go get it minutes after I talked to the owner on the phone.
599 hours, 60" deck (Haban), Plastics are all there, and so far the only crack I found is around the muffler area, typical faded paint, overall in great shape. Came from the orig owners son who didn't want/need it (has a barn full of big boy tractors)
Paid $1,000 for it, I feel like that was a pretty good deal. Waiting for my pics to upload and I will add them sometime today here to the thread.
So, looking at SGT Braces as preventative, and will be changing all the fluids/filters. anything else specifically I should do or look into?
BTW that little Kubota sounds soooooo cool!
