It's an L260 with loader with what seller reports as some loss of power in one cylinder.

Thx.

L210's L240's L260's are all very old and parts are getting really hard to find, including engine parts.

Repairing a dead cylinder in that could run you in the thousands to fix and that's if you do all your own work.

The systems on these older models are unique to them, so newer parts will not fit it.

That's a 2 wheel drive manual steering tractor with a loader, a real bad combination!
It's hard on the front axle and it hard on the operator.

I really love kubota's but that's not a good bet, unless you want a tinker tractor and have a 4wd hanging around that needs a loader.

EDIT:
Looking at the pictures, scary, the loader is not supported right so damage to the engine /clutch housing/ transmission connection is very likely damaged.

Looking at it from the reas looks like it's been hit buy a truck, things are bent and kitty wampus!

Looks like the left fender is being pried out by the tool box, not attached at the top.

Here's one for parts. https://fortsmith.craigslist.org/grd/d/ozark-kubota-tractor/6876647954.html

Here's another one for comparison. https://northmiss.craigslist.org/grd/d/marietta-kubota-diesel-tractor-l260/6874461835.html

Bil has one pretty same set up, needs engines parts they are almost unobtainable and fairly spendy,,,, sits in the hedgerow,not worth fixing being 2wd. Now if I could talk him out of the loader which is the only thing of value in my opinion.

Hello
I am with Wolf Man. Front Axle trouble is coming. Also steering box problems. But if you do decide to buy it I have lots of parts for the L260.
Good luck Lance

Stuff is stupid priced in Jersey.....lol



I run away fast. If you do have a very weak moment and buy it, you'll be on here asking lots of questions...

Many thanks for the replies. I'll stay away from this one.
