I have been looking at all of the beautiful tractor’s you all have now for some of the ugly ones.
Here is mine do any of you have worse???
what you are looking at is a Kubota L245dt
Here's a couple. First is my BIL International 384 diesel. Totally beaten the crap out of. It's in my garage and I'm doing an in-frame overhaul(4 years ago). It doesn't look much better after what sheetmetal there is on it. I rebuilt it, found a crack in the head...after, grind, epoxy fix. Then found out the tranny was wasted, no hi range, lo range 4th gear was iffy. It actually ran ok. He took it in for a tranny fix but they wanted $1000. He got $500 in trade on a Ford 5000. I almost offered $500 as my first tractor. Bigger than I needed and, uh, well look at it. 3 of the wheels held on by bolts, nuts and washers(correct no lug nuts). Nice about 40-45hp if I recall.
Next is his Kubota L175. Still runs ok when it runs. About the size tractor I thought I wanted, fits in a single axle trailer, etc. Really like the size of a L2500 better..
