That one is the "parts tractor" locked motor, "bad" hydraulic pump. So far looks to be missing the radiator and starter. It really looks to be a nice machine. The other one "ran" a couple years ago. It is 12 volt converted, has a glasspack stainless pipe exhaust stack abomination, crunch and pop front hub, crap paint, an amazing hitch, and many other odds and ends character flaws.

Shoved them off to pasture, will asses what I bought tomorrow and put some more pictures up.

Finally had a little time to check my purchases. Pulled plugs on parts tractor and filled cylinders with ATF. Also removed valve cover and lubed top end and freed some stuck valves.

I had a CA with the same manifold design. Rain can go down the outside of the stack and into the manifold, carb, cylinders and pan. Result: not good.
