Fellas. Busy with the kids now. Had to post a couple pics. Anyone pass me and my brother on the road today? Glenn

Thanks craig. My brothers new dump trailer. A beast itself. One more pic have to feed the kids. The Mrs away till tomorrow. Glenn

What a nice tractor. Can't wait to try it out. Glenn

So, Today was a nice day, So i figured I would take some time to fool with the 's As of today I own a 1988 211-5, a 1986 310-8, and my newest addition, a 1982 C-105. I love all three tractors, they all have their own special things about them. I hope you enjoy the video and pics I have! Thank you all! -Tom (Click these pictures to make them bigger)

So you're wife went away, and you went out and bought that...... She's not leaving you alone for a while............. Was that the plan? Nice new toy!

Started in welding on the worse rim so I fired up MR.TIG and first started with the holes that were seen in the rims. Next were the large craters caused by the chloride (that's stuff should be outlawed) after that I went after all the small craters. Before I finished I used 5 sticks of filler rod. I ran the tig torch slowly over all the bad areas and a couple burn through's occurred so I filled them. I feel confident that I have enough material and have brought the rim thickness back up where it should be. I then spread in some Lab Metal time will tell how this product performs so far I like what I see. Here are some pics. ~Duke

I just picked up a set of Die cast banks to add to my collection.

well as we all know the winter has been long and cold, so buying stuff has been limited for me, but now with the weather warming a little (it was 23 deg today) and snow melting, I'm getting calls from people wanting to sell stuff, this is a deal I picked up today, nothing great but still a good deal. Tractor needs a head gasket that is why the PO stopped using it, it has been spray bombed but don't look to bad from 5 feet, deck has been patched, but works. I havent ran the numbers yet but I know it's a 76 or 77 B-80 8 speed with 36" deck. This was the bonus part getting a box of goodies, blades, chains, PTO parts, deck parts, and more, a very nice homemade set of weights about 75lbs each, extra set of ag tires, weathered but good tread, the orig. rear tires and wheels and a mid grader, that we found digging stuff out of the barn. All in all a good deal, even though it was COLD and windy out.

Here is a pic from my rear view a couple months ago, but its not a . Its been a fun project anyway. Its a Case 444. Matt

Took this the other day!

Nice bunch of WH's.

Yeah... Imagine if he decided to add, front and rear weights, to the tractor...... WOW, you are talking close to 1,700 lbs... without rider. Now add a 200 lb. man to the seat... Close to a ton for a garden tractor that you use on the lawn to mow.... HEAVY!!! No need for a roller!!!

Welcome fellow vampire-state red tractor enthusiast .

Glen, what else did you get with the deal???

Looks like Mother's Day came early!!!

Tom, thanks a million. Its interesting seeing peoples horses and hearing thier thoughts on them. Glenn

That's real nice Glenn!

Thanks guys! I'm just hoping everybody enjoys looking at my stuff as much as I enjoy looking at everyone else's stuff!

Great find. Im sure it will treat you well for a lonnngg time. I was waiting for you to come home with something new. I could tell from your prior posts you have been looking. WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG

I enjoyed the pics and video Tom. Thank you for sharing

Nice lookin' collection you've got there.

Stacks might look and sound good, I know Andy's second D has none standard silencers and sounds fab!

Looks like a suburban 401...It is probably worth 100-150. The Fenders almost always sell for 100 bucks on ebay, and the trans is probably worth 50-75. If parted out you wouldn't lose anything...but as a whole 150 is the very top of what it would sell for.

Was given this by our local dealer It was a promo item when Toro bought WH. At least thats what I was told. It has a place to put the dealers name on the bed cover. Both doors open along with the hood The underside just says limited edition Anyone else run across one of these, I haven't seen another

looks great Bob, as long as the rim is structurally sound the rest is just cosmetic ,I know not ideal but even if it last for 5 years of more gives time to aquire a replacement rimor find an alternative . although not as bad, mine are in a similar state of moon like surface , besides i think its sometime nice to see a few battle scars..

My 75 D-180 came with several attachments that WH offered except a FEL and it had 3/4" spindles. Over the years the right side got scored from a bad bearing, and I wanted to add the much beefier 1" so for several years I watched for a replacement set and finally Joes Outdoor (thank goodness for Joe!!) offered a set at his usual very reasonable price and I ordered it up. The I" set-up has to be a unit to change over, everything is now 1" - the axle, the spindle bore and the center axle pin. You will just have to start a concentrated search for a used set-up (hopefully Joes will get another - maybe they will put you on a watch list??) I recently did a 1054 build and found the spindles on it are rare as hens teeth and I had to do some creative rebuilding.

Uncle Buck, Roundhoods are not my thing but if one of my friends brought it to my house to sell I'd give them $40 just so I could have the seat and fenders.

You really need to measure the spindles on the tractor before you buy anything. 1" spindles were an option on D-series tractors, i do not know for sure if they were an option on an 18 automatic. In any event if it is being used as a loader tractor someone may have swapped out the front axle and spindles at some point so until you measure no one can be sure what size you need. Incidentally an M-1 Garand is a weapon or rifle not a gun...at least in the Army

Yes the extra 1/2 inch on the fronts do matter. If you look at the front end of many of these seniors they have been "knotched" so the inside of the wider tires do not rub. @Duke there are different true widths of the 4 inch wide tires so I would search for the the narrowest set you can find....

Nice little tractor, thanks Kelly

First, if your tractor is a 1973 it is not a D-180, if it is a D-180 it is a 1974 (or later) if it is a 1973 it is an 18 Automatic. Second, the front axle is different for the 1" spindles than for the 3/4" spindles. The axle for the 1" spindles had a larger O.D. at the area where the spindle bore is. Third, the Model # 10501 could this be 1-0601 ? If so, your rear tires (assuming they are original) would be 27 x 9.5 - 15 Turf-Savers. This consequently would indicate that you have an 18 Automatic. Mark. (P.S. Someone may correct me if I am wrong.)

I was tilling a customers vegi garden, and the guy told me, his dad had a big garden, and he and his brother, would take the Troybilt Horse tiller, like mine, and he would set it going in a crop row, and his brother, 100+ feet away, would wait for it, then turn it around in the next row, and send it back!

I'm with Kelly. Sure there are a few things not original to the tractor but I think its pretty darn clean and all of the tin work looks nice and straight. 600 is obviously too high of a price but if it were mine and someone came to look at it and offered me 200 they would be going home empty handed. Does it need to be 100% original to do what you want it for? If that engine runs decent I'd give 150 bucks for just the engine in a heart beat. Be careful you don't insult the guy by telling him he has a running parts machine...

I am doing a little research on the 633 theory. I'm thinking Speedy May be on to something. Thoughts? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

those are 4.0, but does the .5 really matter? Koen

Those are 4.0 not 3.5 wide unless I missed something..

these? http://www.bandenservicezuidwest.nl/webshop/artikel_detail.php?i_art_id=8496 and for the rears http://www.bandenservicezuidwest.nl/webshop/artikel_detail.php?i_art_id=8986 both are bkt brand tires, don't know where they come from but they are pretty good for their price Koen

Original front tires for that tractor are 3.5 wide but are now easy to come by. If anyone has a source please let us all know.

BOOOO...yah.

While getting my mask off, I managed to get this picture. This is with the side view mirror.

My first AMC blackhood. Confirmed now...it's an '83 model C-175. Man, does this thing sing like a beast!

During the quick getaway, while struggling to get my mask off... my camera captured this image today.
