The 400 Suburban sees daylight

[TT-(Moderator) 1,127]

The faithful little "shuttle" tractor for Arendtsville was pulled out of the shed today because I finally received my wind-up starter and accessories in the mail.

To make a long story short (which isn't like me, is it! ) the starter won't work because of two things: The cup won't work with the K-91 Flywheel, and the crank hits the rear tire.

Naturally, I had the camera out there so I could get a picture of the finished product....... but since it wouldn't work, I took it for a ride and made a video instead.

If any of you are eating while you watch the video, you might want to stop. There's a scary guy on there with a big chew of Copenhagen in his mouth that looks at the camera and talks!

If you try to figure out the really shaky part..... that's when I drove it through the creek!

The ride on the 400!

That is another video, that Suburban seems to move right along. It looked like someone didn't want to be photographed at the end too :thumbs:

That's the tractor that I drove through the snow at about 20mph! When I fist bought it, I put an HH-60 Tecumseh on it and didn't have a short enough drive belt...... so I put a 5 inch pulley on the crankshaft to make up for it.

It was throwing chunks of snow 10 feet in the air off those little 6.00 X 12's and had a blindingly-fast top speed. (for an old tractor with sloppy steering!)

Yes........ Mrs. Robinson came out to see if I wanted her to video me riding around. Apparently she didn't want to be in my video, but she did get to record one of me.

Here's the one Mrs. Robinson did. :thumbs:

TT another good job on the video....did you make your wife run with the camera on that 2nd one?

Makes me want to get out the 401 & go cruiseing.

By the way...looks like a nice little area there with the hills & stuff.

Real quiet & scenic I bet.

Too much fun, TT Thanks for the show.

I know it's probably impolite to ask , but I gotta know, what in the heck is that wire wrapped around the shift lever?

You guys and your videos. Dang. Pictures are hard enough for me. By the way, where is Arendtstville? It's not listed in my Atlas :thumbs:

[TT-(Moderator) 1,127]

Follw RT34 North out of Gettysburg, PA until you find Biglerville. Look a little to the left and you'll see Arendtsville. (don't blink! )

By the way, where is Arendtstville? It's not listed in my Atlas

It's a little north of Gettysburg. Use Mapquest to find it. It has Arendtsville mailing address and a Biglerville delivery address.

Enter the following address:

615 Narrows Rd

Biglerville, PA

Great videos Terry. You just got to love those little mid-engine tractors.

I finally got a chance to view the videos. Nice, really like the vids from the driver's perspective. That's the second time I saw that truck for sale in one of your videos.

Impolite ???? It's only me, Greg!

That's the ground wire for the magneto. I never hooked it up to a switch, so I just shut it off by pushing the button on the points cover. I have it looped around the shifter so it doesn't get caught in the belt.

(It's no "show queen" -- if you look close enough, you can even see the seam where I spliced two hoods together to make one! )
