I will be watching for the motor/transmission narrative! I will probably be pulling them out of the one that TN friend and I purchased together 50-50. I wanted the bed and frame and he wanted the engine tranny, but the bed ended up being a total rust issue. The bed could be rebuilt, but not sure if it is worth the effort and expense if I have a running one.
Interesting enough, the red Toro has the full glass door option, while the yellow/white has the half glass option along with a heater! The white yellow one has a heater, red doesn't. The white yellow one is propane and red is gasoline. The white yellow one is a manual deck, no hydraulics, red is full hydraulic. The parts machine I loaded on friends trailer for him that went to TN has the full hydraulic setup, but no bed. He is going to pull the cylinders, pump and lines to send home with the white yellow machine.
Heater fan, windshield wipers brakes and parking brakes are non-operational on the white yellow machine. Master cylinder was as dry as could be, not even a film on the tank, which is why the parking brake was worn out, as they probably used the parking brake to stop it!
Heater box has to be removed in order to get to the master cylinder, which may be why it was empty, who knows!
Take way too many pictures as you start the removal process! I will be watching closely!
