Took scrap in today and seen this cub near office with weights on. Tires were shot. So I bought the weights. Paid 20 bucks for them lol

Father in Heaven, you are the giver of life and the great physician. You know our needs and wants. Please heal Emory and comfort his family. We know that his body has been damaged by stroke, we know that with your healing hand on him Emory will build strong bones and live a long healthy life. We also know that you can make him whole again, you can repair damaged tissue, you can enable him to continue to serve you on this Earth. Lord, hear my petition. Be with his father and mother and all family as they experience this storm in their lives. I don’t always understand your plan for us, but I do trust that you work all things for the good. I only ask that it be your will to give Emory good health. I ask these things in the name of your Son and my Savior, Jesus Christ. All glory and honor belong to you. Amen.

First car 1947 Hudson, super 6, wet cork clutch in oil, 22.5 ft bumper to bumper. Hudson made some awesome cars and trucks. The hood is hinged at the front opening forward. No hoods lost at high speeds, my second car was a 1955 ford, 272, three on the tree with 4.11 gears, one day the hood flew up and ripped right off the hinges. The Ford Y-Block https://www.enginelabs.com/news/historic-engines-the-ford-y-block-v8-of-the-1950s/ https://www.thegentlemanracer.com/2014/03/the-fabulous-hudson-hornet.html Current land speed record for a 1952 Hudson unlimited class is: 138.054 MPH set by Kann, Adams, and Johnson Racing Team in 1993 at Bonneville Slat Flats, Utah. On September 13, 1998 this Hudson clocked 120.887 on the North pass and a return of 124.479 for an average speed of 122.683. Not bad for a little L-head 6 cylinder engine. The bottom image is one I tool of an old car resting in a field, it maybe an early Hudson.

Thank you so much folks. The power of prayer is a mighty thing. I only pray that God heals Emory gives me the strength that I know Emory already has. He is an amazing boy!

Again, thanks for all the replys, if anyone else has inputs I continue to appreciate them. Will try and get to look at the tractor in person sometime after Thanksgiving, pretty swamped until then and the tractor is 2.5 hours away. If I end up getting it I will follow up with a report and additional pics, ,til then: Happy Thanksgiving all!

Snow plowing and the harsh weather can take its toll on our (my) machines...so I always have a second plow tractor ready and waiting in the shed. Ive sold off quite a bit of my stock and only have two machines that I would want to work hard and plow with. So my C-105 gets the job of second fiddle. Two ply turfs in the rear with 50# weights on the outside and steel pipe flanges that weigh in around 18# on the inside of the rim. With 65-68 pounds I can avoid chains. Pics of course....

Sorry

well guys it has been a while i posted a question about a carb adjustment on a B-80 which i was able to figure out and it runs strong 'and i want to thank again the ones that did reply 'so now i have another question and i sure hope some one might know ; i was searching the craigslist for the older horses and found one that was listed for 125.00 but the owner would say he would take a 100.00 for it so off i went to the st.louis area from my home in Springfield a 2 plus 1/2 ride to and the same back 'but anyways here are a few pictures of the old horse ;yes at times we get scammed but at times we have to trust others for there word 'but anyways what i have is a older horse and really do not know the year ;in all it looked good with a few miner issues such as the choke cable and the throttle froze up 'it has the pull start and i am sure it goes back to the days ;the motor is a Briggs and stratton really not sure what horse power as the owner said a 8 but it looks a little bigger ;the deck is solid but he thinks either the belt is bad or a bad spindle ;the one idler puller is bad which is no biggie 'so i ask if any one here might know the year of this old horse'on the side of the housing the numbers are # B-703866'thanks guys yes it is an automatic but now to find the screw or valve so it will free wheel as so many are so different

I can't wait... for the nonsense to begin.

I gave up the fight years ago. Realized it was impossible to explain this to the anti-hunters..... the joy of spending hundreds of hours in the woods attempting to harvest a specific animal and if you are successful, the satisfaction, reverence, and prayer giving thanks for the opportunity to harvest and process the animal to feed family and friends.. Some will never understand the difference between a hunter and a poacher. Excuse the rant, but while I'm on the soap box, one other peeve is the newspaper headlines after deer season. TWO HUNTERS DIE FIRST DAY OF PA DEER SEASON In the fine print details...one was a result of a car crash on the way to camp, one was a heart attack walking to the outhouse,

Kids are amazing creatures. My oldest grandson was born with a genetic disorder. Among the many things wrong was a heart valve problem that would require open heart surgery at age 8. He went to Johns Hopkins for his surgery. It was successful and he just celebrated his 15th birthday on Saturday. My point here is that kids are tough. They seem to handle things better than we elders. We all want our children to be pain-free and not to suffer and I said at the time that if I could take his place, I would. But that kind of surgery probably would have killed me. On the other hand, my grandson weathered it like a trooper and was walking out of the hospital three days later. Kids are tough. I'm sure Emory will do well. Having said that, Emory and your family will be in my thoughts.

Chassis and trans' painted this morning. Tor Agricultural Enamel. International Red. Applied by brush.

Prayers being sent for Emory and your family.

Prayers sent!

Will pray for Emory, you and the family, for strength, and the healing everyone needs to get thru this. You guys are the best!

Wishing him the best, prayers sent.

Will they even let you own a old garden tractor in California? I thought everything had to have emissions equipment.

I don't think you are nuts/ No one else will either. You are giving him the care and love he needs. Keep up the good loving parent that you are and keep the faith. I will pray for him.

Got mine this past summer for $279. Put a wider board on it. Use it for everything now cause I'm too old to bend over and work on things on the floor!!!

I thought it would be too easy and for the first time ever, it WAS.! Now, where is the white stuff?

Hello guys, and gals. My name is Aage, and live in north/east Norway, about 6-7 km from tbe border of Russia. My hometown is Kirkenes. I got my first red horse a few days ago. It's a 1054. Engine needs a rebuild, and tractor will have new paint and service.

I have no files, but I wonder if you could make hood ornaments something like this?

Reminds me of Gumball Rally... To paraphrase some memorable lines: The first rule of Italian Tractor Racing is "Whatsa behind you isa no madder..." The second, and far more applicable rule to this situation is "we don't need no stinking brakes..." Perhaps removal of the offending brake pedal would kill two birds with one stone - no more conflict with the handle and automatic enrollment in the little known but highly competitive world of Maine's Italian Tractor racing circuit... But more on topic - I would add length to the rod so the handle is straight up / down...should work...

Eric, here's the one I bought 20 years ago when I first got a used blade without the lever and my dealer ordered this, when I finally got the 520 extension kit I had to modify it so it wouldn't hit the muffler, Jeff.

Eric you need a brake peddle off a C-Series. My 77 C-120 the peddle angles out away from the tractor in stead of straight up.

@ebinmaine I have made a couple of "homemade" handles and have had to heat/bend several to actually work on the machine I was using at the time. More of a "custom" lever if you will! Another possibility is to lengthen the round rod that goes from the lever to the plow....This will make the top of the lever move forward....as long as you can still reach it! Good luck and keep us posted, as we like to know what worked and what didn't!

None better than this guy here... https://www.redoyourhorse.com/ currently has some great holiday discounts... in effect for our supporters too.

Dragged mine out of a Southern backyard for free. It cost me about $750 to restore and have the benefit of a non-rusted 42 RD. No plow, weights or chains. To me, if she needs nothing, you have a fair deal. Also, good, clean cold start on the engine, no smoke under load and trans shifts cleanly and stays in all gears.....even better.

All polished up now

Sorry, I can't post a video until the snowfall is significate in NE Ohio. Worse yet, the temp may reach 50 degrees this Saturday. I am really anxious to record my death ride so that the anticipation doesn't kill anyone. I have the tires back on and until the conditions are right she will be waiting in the shed for that fateful day. Let's hope it's soon while I still have my health care insurance.

Thank you for your wonderful support of this crazy addicting thing we call a Hobby. I'll be getting my order together

Prayers for Emory and your family, we have one on the autism spectrum as well as muscular skeletal issues that goes to UVA, keep the faith and keep buying the for the both of you.

The paddle kit will help but it still should've thrown further without them. Something is slipping, belt, chain, or PTO clutch plate. The biggest performance increase I made to mine was making sure the PTO surfaces are flat and and making maximum contact to prevent slipping. Remove the pulley bell thingy and check the surfaces between it and the clutch plate material. You might find discoloring on the steal surface with shinny areas and grooves. Those shinny areas are the only place(s) where it's making contact and you want the entire surface to make contact. Not enough contact area and it will definitely slip which causes performance issues. I use a 4" wide belt sander for the steel surface and 150 grit sandpaper on a wooden block for the clutch plate surface to make them flat. Then proper adjustment for the tension on the engagement rod. Check the shaft bearing between the impeller and chain sprocket on the back. If it has any slop the new paddles will hit as the shaft wobbles around in a worn bearing.

Dell, Emory’s face shines like a lightening bug around these tractors. If it helps (you) keep his mind away from worries, then so be it. We went through some kidney struggles this summer with little Rylee too, a few days in the hospital were not what we planned for but it’s what it took to fight her infection. We go mid December for a check up and hope for good news. It’s tough to be a daddy to a little one with hurts and struggles. You are a good dad, helping him with what he loves! My prayers have been of thankfulness lately, but I’ll add some for healing in there too. Best wishes for you and yours, Kev

To me if it's a solid runner it's well worth the 950, especially with the blade and deck included, I love my C125, and with what I paid for it and what I've put into it, I've got more than 950 in it, so that's something to take into consideration as well

Thanks guys. This has really hit me hard. We really don’t know much yet and won’t until our visit in March. It has just got me worrying and running through scenarios in my mind and I keep telling myself they are just that - scenarios. I hope this will be easy to manage with preventive care and hopefully non surgical care. I pray every day to let me take his problems and pain as my own and away from him. @stevebo thanks and I have to agree he is a great kid. He’s so strong to have been through so much. He’s my world!

Emory and your family are in our prayers. May the Holy Spirit, send his healing love to Emory in Jesus Christ name , amen

A couple of more new pics. Next on the list was to press in the bronze flange bearing for the lift arm shaft that I had shown an earlier photo of during the reaming process. I had mentioned earlier on that the length of the bearing may have needed trimmed slightly, but decided to just leave it alone as it only sticks through the housing less than 3/32". Kind of like the finished look of the bearing edge anyway, although it does leave the end of the shaft now slightly recessed from the bearing surface and not flush with the outside face. Bearing and flange on the inside... ...and bearing on the outside (notice the slight lip). And a couple from the top after installing the lever assembly, lift cable (thanks @wheelhorseman for a quality cable), and the hoodstand.... I don't remember and don't have a clear "before" photo of the lift cable, so I wasn't sure which hole in the lever that the cable was attached to originally. So for now I just stuck it in the middle hole because that seemed to keep all things aligned the best and figured it might become clearer as things progress and final adjustments are made. If anyone has any insight on this it would be greatly appreciated. This thing is finally starting to slightly resemble a TRACTOR again! ...and one more of my makeshift assembly line in the basement, with a lot of the other parts waiting their turn to get put back on.

Some of the stuff on my wall came from Terry. https://www.redoyourhorse.com/banners/ Others came from

I’m not the most religious man, and most outside of the Catholic faith see praying to the Saints and Angels for help and guidance as a “pagan” thing, so if this offends I apologize, but every time I have prayed to Michael the Archangel for strength and guidance, my prayers have been answered one way or another. Praying for Health, healing, comfort, and compassion for you and yours.

Prayers my friend...be strong...for Emory....3 John 1:2

Most parts that I get for my tractors come to me via USPS or UPS. Unless you need something big like an accessory, you should be just a good there as anywhere else in the U.S.

Just keep us updated and I hope everything goes ok until March.

I don't think anyone here will think you are nuts for buying him another tractor, after all that is why we are all here. It's because these little tractors make us happy. Prayers for you and your family.

Lucky Dad...Lucky kid... Godspeed.

Prayers, lots of them. Dave

Saw this ‘beaut this morning in town while I was marking out my snow plow drives... this post was the first thing I thought of, so I grabbed a pic of it.
