Went to look at the 7600 with the missing cylinder head today. Turns out it's missing a lot more than the head. Anything you'd take off in order to get the head off is gone... hood, turbo, manifolds, etc. It was a local mechanic's shop to be bored and sleeved (WHY do that, if a leaking head gasket is truly the only problem??) when the mechanic died in a car accident. The tractor was towed home as-is, since the widow didn't know where any of the parts were. Beyond that, various panels are missing inside the cab, both upper and lower rear windows are gone, the doors are gone, and the steps are pretzels. I don't know how/why this happened to a tractor that doesn't even have 5500 hours. One front tire is gone, too... apparently used as a spare on the other 7600 that got torched in the shed and barn fire. Might be where the doors were, too. Anyway... what I thought was "priced right" when I looked at the ad has become, to me, a parts tractor that I'm not sure I want to deal with. I WOULD like to swap the dual remote onto my 7600, though.
 
I think I would kindly ask the widow if you could search the shop where it was at. They shouldn't be hard to find if indeed they are there.
