Steve
You must be looking west of your area b/c I watch everything east of you and only see a 1782 on the far west side of my search area and to rich for me! Good luck with the new to you super! I read your signature line and wonder why you still have the 129? Everything else is a Cyclops!

Hey, Steve, good for you! You're getting quite the stable full of machines!
Post some pics up when you get it. My newer 2182 had a plastic tunnel cover, and I just hate the black plastic look there. I got myself a good metal one from Ray Weaver to replace it. Also, there is room to tap the frame 1/4"-20 and use some flange head screws (reduced hex size for socket access, no locking serrations, don't want to tear up the sheet metal).

Joe,
Most of them are west or just south of me. Couple of 3000 series popped up yesterday as well... There's a nice 1782 up north but 3K for one is a bit high, even with low hours and a cab. Another 1782 down in Unadilla
This 3204 showed up right after I returned !!!
https://syracuse.craigslist.org/grd/d/2 ... 49829.html The 129 is "in storage" at the moment. It was intended to become a 2 seat stretched show tractor but just don't seem to find the extra time.
Dave,
I plan on it.
Tom,
Yeah it's a stupid place to put plastic. Even if you're careful it gets kicked and hit. I'm going to pull it off an maybe weld it back together or make a custom steel cover. I might even see about getting a steel one, not sure yet. I did the 1/4 20 route on my other Cyclops machines already.
First thing will be to go through the wiring and delete a few things and fix the normal cyclops problems. I found some small BRIGHT LEDs to add for rear work lights. Plus the headlights will be replaced with LED.
I am thinking this might become a Red and Black machine. I saw a cyclops painted with a bleack frame and IH red fenders and plastic years ago and thought it was what they should have done. It looks downright mean compared to the safety yellow and cream.
