Mystery machine?!

Im going to put it like it is.

What the heck is this tractor??







Saw it in the junkyard, took a pic of the neat drivetrain, and posted it on fb, i got so many questions about it i took more pictures, and no-one knows what it is to mu undersatanding.

It looks to be a big kohler single, belt drive like a snowblower to a driveshaft, than that to a RAGB, then to a rear axle probably made by king author himself.

Everything screams "tough" "beef" "mucho"

I like it, and just curious about what you guys think it is, or how you like it.

Gilson? Not a Cub Cadet?

Grab that sucker home, isn't that a Peerless 2300 to a Peerless 1000 right angle drive with a beefy horizontal kohler?

Make a lifted out of it because of the driveshaft. It be awesome, and if you don't want to do that take it and restore it

I just dont have the time/space/money (<--- big factor) to start another project. There was a sweet ss16 in there a while ago (agust) that i wish i coulda got. I believe that there is a AC GT in there, again, very very heavy. $.35 a pound.
