Rollerman 290 #1 Posted March 11, 2008 Thought I'd add some pics of a friends tractor I'm trying to bring back to life. He has high hopes for it & hope I can do him right provideing the tractor cooperates? Under all the new features its a model 1 7255...or 72 Electro that has been upgraded with a K341 16 HP Kohler, Dual HYD lifts...I can only guess it was used to lift a tiller on the back & run it off the open pulley at the pump?, Has a highly modified PTO engagement linkage, The back of the axle has been drilled & tapped with set screws tightening the slop on both spindles, A newer style front tach a matic was welded onto the front of the frame...which is broke anyhow. It's an interesting tractor that has many mods from a PO & has led a hard life. He will be giveing me his 67 JD 110 with headlights & HYD lift for makeing the repairs, some cosmetic work & adding a good deck. I did say he was a friend right?...LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #2 Posted March 11, 2008 It looks like it might have some C-161's parts in there. If you can't get this one to fixed and you really want a JD, I still have my 210. But, seriously, it does look like you have your work cut out for you. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg B. 1 #3 Posted March 11, 2008 Stephen, Time permitting, I'd really like to see the details of that dual hydraulic set up. Looks like a fun commision, with a really nice pay off. Thanks, Greg B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,120 #6 Posted March 11, 2008 Hey.... wait a minute here..... a 1972 Electro? Thought that Electro's were 68-70? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #7 Posted March 11, 2008 I stand corrected Karl....that be a 1970 Electro Mutt. Time permitting, I'd really like to see the details of that dual hydraulic set up. Greg I plan on getting a few more pics tonight...I'll have them up in the morning showing better detail of the HYD valves. It looks like it might have some C-161's parts in there. Terry that be the "Mutt" part. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 10,731 #8 Posted March 11, 2008 Looks like a twin spool in use from a D. Been contemplating that one myself, if I could find one cheap enough.... Looks like a fun project Stephen. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #9 Posted March 21, 2008 Here is the latest pic of the lectro mutt. I'm not saying it's a fun project...just want it done & gone... But going through & fixing some of the normal wear stuff...replaced the previous broken frame & will start the wireing probably tonight. Still like to try & move the rear cylinder off to the side so a slot hitch can be used? Atleast my friend be able to use standard implements or brinly with the adapter & have down pressure...I think?

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #11 Posted March 21, 2008 Progress is progress, so that's a good thing. I bet you can't wait to get this one done so you can claim that JD 110. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
