Sweeeeeeeeeeet. Wish i had a lawnmower that was bigger then a 4 hp...

I have a 1968 wheel horse (raider 12) the best damed lawn tractor in the world , and a modified racing lawn mower ( Monster Energy Race Mower ) I haven't drove either one of them in a year or so . The engine is a Briggs 400 cc 12 hp engine ported and polished and a few other mods . The wheel horse is in the picture of the 35s before I put them on the blazer and I'll have to get one of the racing machine .

Tractor? Did someone say tractor? How does this work?
http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...nlw/jd4955.jpg We are die hard JD at our place and have all green and yellow tractors among other things. Tractors include (from smallest to biggest) a Model A, 70, 3020 gas, 4020 diesel, 4450, and the 4955 in the picture. Love to "play" with them on the farm. No better line of work than farming |

Just got the '66 back from a motor rebuild and repaint:
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...0330121602.jpghttp://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...h_P1010600.jpghttp://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...h_P1010602.jpghttp://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...h_P1010608.jpg That has caused my dad to start looking for a 510 to restore since that was the first tractor that my grandfather bought. Dad ended up selling our 8640: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...401101347a.jpghttp://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...401101348b.jpghttp://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...0420101030.jpg He replaced it with a much newer 9220. I don't have any pictures of the new tractor yet though. Before we got out of farming, we had a 4430 & a 4230 as well as a 9510 4wd combine, and a bunch of other implements, planters, etc. We used to run two F935 mowers, but they have both been relegated to parts mowers for the F935 we use at our church. We now have a JD 1435 4wd mower that my mother still managed to get stuck: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...4724068131.jpg At home I have a tried & true 1991 Simplicity 16LTH with a 44" deck & 42" single stage snow blower that now has over 2000 hours on it. Bought it for $300 4 years ago and after putting $200 into it then, I haven't put more than it costs for oil changes since. |
Got a 1969 cub model 73 I been toying with restoring since I was a teen.
2 ford powermasters, a 1958 841 and a 1959 861. The 841 has a sherman overdrive trans in it. We restored it about 6 years ago. The 861 was restored 2 years ago. 1943 ih farmall model m that's a rare trike model and lp burner. It needs to be restored. My lawnmower is a troybilt ztr50 Giovanni you might want to check the numbers on that 8n, they were only produced 1947-1952. The front sheetmetal and flathead is a n series but it can't be a 1959. |

The 4430 was 2wd with a cab & loader. It was used most for stacking straw with a farmhand accumulator system. Dad got out of farming almost 6 years ago now and has been doing drainage tile installation since to the tune of over half a million feet a year. I still help out with that when I can.

the one that was recently rebuild is such a beauty kyle ...
I plan on restoring the 8n once we get our garage built |

He's kicking himself now though. The whole premise behind buying the 9220 was to have a backup tractor, tile plow, and grade control system. The 8640 was all setup with a dual slope laser for grade control. He was going to build another plow for the 9220 and get into aGPS based grade control with the new setup. Two weeks after taking delivery of the 9220, someone came along and evidently made him an offer he couldn't refuse on the 8640, old plow, & laser system as a package; all before he had another plow or any idea of what it took to run with the aGPS setup... :icon_doh:
No real problem there, he was going on his normal March vacation in Myrtle Beach so the new plow should have been ready by the time he usually gets back. However he decides to get back from vacation early because the weather has been so nice, gets some training on the new GPS based system, and finds out that the new plow isn't done... Finally gets going and the rear drive coupling on the back of the engine ends up going bad one week in and it needs to be taken by trailer to the dealer for service. During the service, they find a final drive bearing that is bad and have to pull the engine to change that... After that's done (3 weeks total down time) & when he's on the way to pick up the tractor they call him and tell him that the valve cover is leaking... :icon_evil: He's fuming so I wait a week before I rib him about selling the 8640.:icon_crackup: |

Giovanni you might want to check the numbers on that 8n, they were only produced 1947-1952. The front sheetmetal and flathead is a n series but it can't be a 1959. Ford tractors and the Ford farm tractors history Deere, cornering the market as they have now is sort of ironic. For year they lagged behind in technology but they offered economy, power and reliability. From the early fifties, my dad's Olivers all had full hydraulics, Live PTO, and 6 cyls. Dad got his first Oliver 88 Diesel in 57. He bought a 1600 in 1963 but by that time JD hit the ground running in modernization and Oliver would soon fold. And all the other makers that hung on, like International were irrelevant I loved that 1600. I've got a plain vanilla MTD built 19hp rider with a 42" deck. Plenty good considering we paid 500 bucks for it as an almost new Lowes 'return' |
Well I fabbed a hood and grille for it
http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...2/PICT1706.jpg Now imma finish priming it then let it sit i guess =P |
