NOT a grader or a dozer
Brianator......He wasn't so happy yesterday with that "twisted belt syndrome"
......i don't know how it ever ran at all with the top bolt out of the varidrive pulley.....

A square body in Cub Cadet form can you believe it!?
These are all the photos unfortunately, I'd love to see the grille! Best I can tell its a 1986 and has the F/N/R transmission so I think it's safe to assume it has the Vari-Drive also.
If it wasn't so far away from me and I didn't already have so many tractors I'd gladly pay the $200 he wants for it just for historical reasons! Lol

Just now noticed that White Outdoor sign in the background.
Also, those tractors are really cool because they have a 2 speed varidrive in them. I’d like to mess about with one someday.

Careful @Brianator , @Nevadablue will be drooling all over that patina! Looks like a rolling pile of crap to me...
Oh wait it's missing a wheel, not a rolling pile of crap, just a regular one...

My 2500 peerless has that same caliper. Speaking of which, for all y’all debating about whether a 2300 or 633 is stronger: sorry, 2500s are. lol.
