That's the two piles that are visible. I have one big pile out behind my chicken house. I really didn't use much for it. Just a hood and engine. I put new tires on the front and bent the rim out straight. It's a 2284 with a CH18. I dropped in a cast iron rear while I had the tranny apart, so I put the super pump and gears in the cast iron. I mounted a wide frame sleeve hitch lift in the rear plate and made a longer lift arm to go up to the hydraulic ram to lift it. I turned my garden with it already, with my 10" moldboard and it was effortless. I just have the factory cub tires on the back and it didn't spin at all, I thought I would. It was a test run because I was trying to decide if I should splurge for some ags. I mowed with it with my 54" deck too and it did a really nice job. I'm quite happy with this tractor for a little over $450 I have in it.
