That is a nice find!
Looks like electric start, or is it just lighting? It'd be easy to justify electric start to the Procurement Dept. with that blade installed.
Yes, electric start. I do have a nice set of Guide lights also to put on later.
where is the master clutch lever? I seem to remember it being on the left side on my old R2? I had enough room between the blade and radiator to crank start mine but it was tight---just used my foot many times on the crank!
Foot clutch on that series R2
Ok--i see two pedals---thought they were the brake pedals?
foot clutch on the LH side of tractor same as 22
Looks like the weights are missing on the roller frames.
Yes heavy cast guards are missing, I can fab them up.
