Re: Tractor thread?
I think that's the model the guy who's place I'm working on has, a '72 with bucket. His is a beater. We used it the other day to move a 20' laminated beam. It's sitting there idling and rattling, then "tink!" and I notice something drop to the ground. The hydraulic pump broke. He's a funny guy. He's looking at the part saying, "it's been rattling like that for years. Why did it have to break now? Look, you can see it wore because the bolt was missing". Uh yeah? The good thing is the dealer had some parts and ordered the rest

I remember hearing that and for some reason I thought that it was listed on the sign. Obviously I didn't read it before I posted it. On my 61 Apache 10 that was my grandpa's there is a bullet hole from the inside out but it just left a "nipple" and didn't go through the outside door skin. After visiting Graceland I thought about leaving it after hearing the story. |

Re: Tractor thread?
That's cool to see. I used to have two early 110s. The fenders were steel. I ran them many years. I still have the accessory book I got at the dealership. Mine had 8hp Kohlers. I had a JD 80 dump cart, too. I decided the early Cub Cadets were a better tractor and sold all my JD stuff to a collector. I bought the first one at a local JD dealership who holds a sale each spring to sell off all the year's trade-in. There were so many early tractor company lawn tractors it drove me crazy, Case, Massey Ferguson, etc. And a mess of quality ones like Wheel Horse, Simplicity, Gravely. Then there were so unique ones I never saw before, different designs like one that was a reel mover. The second 110 was set out for sale on Main St in my town. I forget why he was selling it but he had just had the transmission rebuilt at the dealership and he wanted $200. That's the one I mowed most with

Re: Tractor thread?
Those of you that like to travel/RV/boondock etc, the keystone tractor museum in Petersburg has overnight parking and I believe they also have hookups. There is also a little cafe that is supposed to have some pretty decent food.

Re: Tractor thread?
The sandwich I had for lunch was good. I thought I had a whole slew of pictures from there, but don't see them now. That settles it. I have to go back now. I haven't been back since they expanded
More from the gas & steam show

Re: Tractor thread?
I worked this weekend on a friend's '72 John Deere 2520 Row Crop w/loader. It needs a hydraulic pump. I was doing some carpentry work for him and he was moving a TGI beam suspended from the bucket. Sitting there idling I thought it was rattling a good bit. This guy isn't much on maintenance so I wasn't surprised. Then "TINK" and I notice something drop under the tractor. It was the coupler to the pump had broken. time for some maintenance-free repairs . It turns out the pump had been leaking, which he knew about. So, this weekend I dismantled it down to the pump. The parts should be here by Wed. I'll upload the pictures of the tractor and edit them in

Re: Tractor thread?
Here’s a real clean IH that sold at a local auction yesterday for $7500. Several others sold but I was at the other ring. Did see this JD lawn tractor and this old Kubota.
