What did you have to do? Find another parts tractor?:P

I wish I had that type of luck. Go look at a parts tractor and buy it to find out its a perfectly functional machine.

well I drove it to a buddys shop. he s gonna address the hard starting issue. I asked him while it was there to check valves and change the front dampener as it looks old, rubber looks cracked and hard. the radials and cab mounts sure make it ride good

If that was a parts tractor to start out with, mine is ready for the scrap heap...

Apparently it's all about where you are. Anywhere but here there are tons of nice tractors, cheap. People selling them as parts machines with absolutely nothing wrong except cosmetics...

It was on a online repo auction. The listing had a Pic of the dipstick with the oil barely touching. It had some good tires and a good cab. It was 30 miles from me. I bid more than parts price (5000$) but I was going to put the cab on the 1086 that's now got the yar cab. When you figure the new radials, interior and possibly an injector pump I got a pretty good bit in it but oh well, I've done worse things

Its killmat. Its supposed to block heat and noise

How do you get a good adhesive bond using both ? I've hard a hard enough time sticking just the foam pad and keeping it in place I always used the 3/M spray adhesive too  all the 86 series tractor I didn't think were that bad for heat or noise but the 66 series were deafening

Looks nice. We had good luck with the 1586 we had and put more than 20k hours on it before it gave us trouble

Beautiful tractor. That looks like a huge mirror on the front post. You build this tractor for a specific job?

Kicking @$$ and taking names lol
