Picked up this well optioned G5200

My wife wanted her own GT for plow days and shows, had to be a diesel as well. I have a IH Cub Cadet 782d with a D600 Kubota under the hood. Most CC diesels were well north of what she wanted to spend. But we found this G5200 with 3pt, rear pto, tiller, snow blower and a project mower deck. Has 221 hours on a working meter but looks to have been left outside a lot. Muffler is rotted out, I sort of made it usable as a new one is $400+(we are looking for a good used one) but even with all the options, it lacks the temp gauge, just has the hour meter. Starts instantly and runs excellent. A fresh paint job is in its future as well along with replacing missing parts like bulbs/sockets for the headlights which I just cleaned and straightened their mounting tabs. I will put a wanted post over in the classifieds for what goodies we are looking for.

Nice! Post some photos when she gets the plow set up.

She got a good pressure wash today to get the oil and grime off, I straightened and cleaned the headlights, just need bulbs/sockets to get them working. I did a bit of jury rigging to make the old muffler usable in the short term till we can find a good used one to purchase.
