So, I got a GT18-H or a SS16-H last fall. It needs a lot of TLC to say the least. I'm looking at slowly getting it ready to be fixed up right now, not sure if I really want to start it or let it sit until spring. If we had snow I wouldn't even be thinking of it either...
Here's the history on it...

Unfortunately, this tractor was a victim of fire. How ever it got very lucky in several ways. As I started on it last fall I found the rubber lines to the trans cooler were not even singed. I also got to playing with the engine some and I have found it seems to be savable so far. The bad though, there's nothing left on the tractor to identify its exact model. Also, anything that could have been melted has been melted from the dash forward.
I've been watching for parts here and there but have not come up with much. I need some help locating them, I'm guessing I'm not looking in the right places on Ebay and craigslist.:banghead3
So far my list of things to do.
Find ALL the electrical parts for the Onan that I have for it.(18XSL not original unfortunately)
Find a new dipstick for both the trans and the engine.
Find a new air filter housing for the engine.
(growing soon)
I'm on the hunt for a engine of the correct model for the tractor too, but I'm not sure how many appendages that will cost me. I unfortunately don't know the correct engine models for it though.
This is going to be a tough one, but hopefully well worth it in the end. I will grab some pictures of the tractor as it sits at the farm now this weekend. I will grab some pictures later today hopefully. If I can dig the engine out of it's corner. I had to hide it from thieves after my garage got broken into last fall.
