The lift bar looks similar to the 582 bar I'm using on my 1050.

If that was near me I'd probably go get it. Appears to be in pretty good shape.

If it looks as nice in person as it does in the pictures I'd consider that more a collector piece and would try to find a collector to purchase it. That looks really good. Wish I was closer and had the room, I'd take it. Also for reference, last year in southern Wisco there was another nice...

I just got one of Charlie's seats this week and it is awesome.

I can use a few pieces off of that when you do part it. Got a 3204 here that needs a little love.

That's not an 1882 with that engine, that last picture is a Command. It's the wrong picture or it's a 2084. The Command engine is preferable.

What year is that Charlie? I didn't know IH had stepside beds on their later trucks.

I've got a combo of bearing grease and 80w-90 in mine, so far so good. Running like that for a few years.

Why do you think the gear failed? Did a stone jam the auger? Seems odd that it would break on its own. I need to give mine some love but I've been needing it the last couple days.

Here's something maybe outside the box, but are the starter mounting castings both intact? I had a KT17 that broke one of them. Crank bearings intact? I have a KT17 here that was running that I can wiggle the crank up and down, quite a bit, but probably not enough to give the issue you have...

Can we see pics of the new driveshaft? Sounds like an interesting setup.

I'd jump the starter solenoid and see if it can turn over the engine, then if that checks out I'd start going through the starter circuit/safety switches.

Cubs4lifeofme- does your 1050 have lights?

The one with the best condition engine and deck The hydros are more convenient to mow with 1812 has more horsepower

I've got a 1050 with a 38". It's the 3 blade deck, the 2 little ones and the large center one. It's a 3 speed gear drive. IDK who the trans manufacturer is....it isn't the 1100/482/582s etc trans. They are nice tractors. I added a spring assist and creeper from a parts 1200 to mine.
