I can't figure it out but I sure hope someone knows.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

I had it all figured out until I saw the lifting eyes on the canopy. In any event, I'll bet the wheel weights are easily restored. Sheet metal and grille doesn't look bad either. I'd write that auxilary engine off.

I studied the pics for awhile and.......WOW!! What the.......???
There's definately a driveshaft there.....looks like whatever it was driving busted off at the front; doesn't look like a torch cut at all. That's a lifting lever on the right; cable went over the pulley to whatever was being lifted...cable is gone/broke too. The lift range is evident by the space in the driveshaft track up front. Looking at it through my 'backyard mechanic' eyes I'd say it's a set up for a snowblower up front that probably worked fantastic till that last iced in rock or whatever......
It's obvious the tractor was moved for the pics; note the flat spots on the front tires. Perhaps the rest of this "GIZMO" is still there somewhere.

I'm curious about the guard rods by the right rear wheel. Makes me think it was used around some tall vegetation.

Well, I played with these picture a bit with a graphics program to see better and have a few conclusions that are still guesswork...
1. I don't believe those are guard rods by the wheel. I believe they are just levers that have fallen down against the wheel. I believe there are two of them to allow for a longer travel like pull one part way then grab the next to go farther... ?
2. If you look at the crossbow shaped piece that would be roughly opposite the base of those levers, maybe a pivot point? I think that the crossbow piece is part of a chain or cable lift much like IHC used on some of their sickle bar mowers. The chain/cable then would have lifted by running to the pulley on top of that pipe with a pulley then down to the pipe frame below.
3. I don't believe that was a drive shaft to the front but just a frame for a an angled blade.
4. That is the same power unit I had on an old IHC hay baler.
*
Guess... I think it was a ditch filling rig made by a ditching contractor to backfill trenched ditches. Probably an angled blade on the front to take off the top then a powered unit to push the rest of the dirt over to the ditch. Trying to straddle a ridge of dirt would be a possible reason to have rolled over and bent the canopy.
*
That is my guess which I am positive is correct unless it is wrong...

That must a be a "super ultra rare" twin engine cub prototype tractor. The canopy is from an A-C as it has the "lean" to it that you get from riding a WD or WC all day. Either way, the asking price needs the decimal point moved over a few digits to the left.
Cub Cadets....Engineered for people who know better!
