Well thats not what i wanted to here lol. I am looking at one of these with a 75HP gas engine in it. So not a good machine eh!. I can not find much of a spec on them other than the weight.

Appears that it's a one year only machine, 1983.. Mmmm,
According to diggerdata it came with a perkins diesel, not gas.
