Doug - thanks for pointing out those issues with that e-pain 169, I took a closer look and now really agree with you. That crack at the bottom of the dash tower is a big give away that the tractor has some time on it. I didn't notice that before. It is a common crack you see and I think occurs when people grab and pull on the steering wheel real hard to get on/off the unit. There isn't a whole lot of metal there to take that twisting pressure.
And thanks to Charlie for pointing out the details of the replacement muffler.
Jeff - yes maybe it is priced a little high now that I see these additional issues. I'd sure like to see this unit up close. Lots of things look nice and lots of things raise questions. I still think it doesn't have a whole lot of hours on it. I think someone fixed it up and then used it for awhile, and then put it away for along time.
Lew - I've never seen a blow head gasket do that, show just a small area where it's blowing, but I don't know what else it might be except maybe a hole in the muffler, and it's likely not that because it looks like there are 2 black areas.

OK! I give up.....
Why did IH spec a 3/8" x 1" bolt for the right rear corner of the 126 tower???
And 3/4" for the other 3 corners?
Inquiring minds want to know....
