Got a call from a buddy this morning.... and my wife was going Christmas shopping today! That's how I got in trouble!

I was just going to check out his score from a few weeks ago.... then he tells me he really isn't into this tractor and offered for me to own it?
SO Y'ALL know I couldn't say no!!
We don't know much about it... he bought it at a farm equipment auction about 2 weeks ago.. it cranks and runs... doesn't appear that it was ever beat on or abused.. Here is the big BUT... The water pump belt is wrapped around the driveshaft.. I'm hoping and praying that it didn't get run hot
Not sure if you can see in the pics but not real fond of the previous owners add on battery box! But it does work..
Pretty sure at best it will need the glow plug relay upgrade... along with the gear reduction starter.. And I gotta get that battery back under the hood for sure..!!
Should be a fun project as long as the engine turns out ok.. it runs slick but hard to start and can't run it very long with the water pump not turning..
Any tips appreciated.. I've worked on my Cyclops diesel a good bit but not really familiar with the 82 series diesels.. I know they have some quirks..
WISH IT WAS RED!!
Let me know what you think!!
