Super Diesel Cyclops Cub Cadet
A cheap 1782 followed me home. Tractor and deck (appears to be newer series Haban) followed me home tonight.
I've wanted one of these for at least 15 years, since seeing on at a tractor show as a kiddo.
Previous owner said 2 cylinders were ~150-200 psi, and it runs but something is wrong. Guess I'll be pulling the head as the weather improves. Seems pretty clean, but the right side panel decal looks like it got warm. Any insight on these Kubota D640s having this issue? Best case would be a head gasket or valve issue...worse...a head/rebuild.
New battery is worth about 25% of what I gave for it.
