Onan engines are awesome. I'll take a B48G over an M20 anyday.
Most 2072's are Kohler powered but there are a few Onan powered ones here.
There is a vid on Youtube with a Onan powered 2072 owner and he says that 80 something were built.....don't know if that's true or not. |
That's the tractor! Pretty cool that the previous owner posted about it. Somehow in all my internet searching for Onan 2072 info, I never came across that thread.
The YouTube video you mention is mine. I had a discussion with a former CCC employee who worked at Brownsville when these tractors were built, and was told that they were built in a "crossover" period between the 17XX/19XX and the 18XX/20XX series, where a red wire could have been installed where a blue one was needed. So the Onan engine may not be the weirdest thing about this tractor...
I know of two other units that have been parted out. One was local, about 20 minutes from me in PA...the other one, which is nothing more than just a frame at this point, is in Ohio.
