@RomeK/G - I'll be watching this as it will be close to where I am moving. What would the benefits (if any) of having the weights on a non-loader tractor? It also looks like it possibly has two hydraulic levers but I doesn't look like a Cat hydraulic system, do you recognize it?

That brick over the exhaust wont do much with all of the thru holes. I would assume a stuck engine, but who knows???

Thats a LaPlante Choate blade setup, they are known to be nose heavy, so counterweights work good for this blade. Not sure about the double control handles. Don't worry, the diesel exhaust has a rain cap with the brick on it and the starting engine has a rain trap on the exhaust pipe, they have a tapered plate inside to deflect the water off to the side and out a drain slot.
