All original right down to the grime.

100% original

My recently acquired 875

My 414-8

this c85 is all original bought it off the original owner

754 last one made all original

I’m unsure of 100% originality but these ones at least haven’t been repainted...

Here's one.

Heres another.It's a 96 416H with less than 300 hours.Best $250 I ever spent This is how it looked when I went to get it.Thats mud splashed on the grill face.

1968 Charger 12. Purchased 5mins form my home from the original owners brother. All ways kept inside.

not a desirable wheel horse but it's all original is this 211-4 bought new in 89 by my grandparents

My father-in-law's RJ-58 as it looked when I got it a couple months ago. Of course, I'm having to change things to make it mechanically sound and get it running,

1985 310-8 all original in this photo. I have added new tires now but don't have a pic.

Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Here are photos of my 653. It is 100% original. All decals are present and intact even on engine. Even the carburetor looks like it has never been touched. The plow has never been mounted with the hardware still in the sealed bag. Tires still have a lot of the "knibs" on them. It has only cut grass twice in its life. Cas (additional info edited in) Bought it in 2007 on eBay. It came from Columbus,Ohio.My fiercest competitor for it was Wild Bill. It was his questions to the seller and the fact that he stated who he was that really sparked my final interest in the tractor. Needless to say it did not come cheap. I seem to be the third owner. It was originally owned by an elderly gentleman in a farming comunity and it was only used by him for transportation. Its second owner had it only for a little while and used it only twice to mow an elementary school yard. I don't believe this tractor has ever stayed outside one day in its life or ever felt a drop of rain. With the exception of a bill of sale every other piece of paper that came with it in 1963 I have, down to the engine tag warning to put oil in before using. Everything feels tight like new specially the steering. It was certainly loved by its previous owners as testified by its condition. It has never been touched by paint or a wrench. It only had one diode changed at some time in the past . I can also state that it will stay that way for at least two more generations, since it will not go anywhere during that time.

Hey guys remember divorce lawyers ain't cheap and a rolling pin up side the head hurts alot

None for me! She knows the combination to my gun safe.

My wife would move out if that was in our house.... hmmm. Can I get a price on that snake plus shipping please ?

Here are a few pictures that I got. A doodle bug, I don't think that I've ever seen a doodle bug made from a Chevrolet. A pretty cool motorcycle car. Steam & oil row One of my favorite kerosene tractors is the Aultman & Taylor. Got Jim to pose next to it for a size reference. One of Aultman & Taylor's advertisements for their threshing machines was the skinny chicken. Insinuating that if your chickens were pecking on the ground for spilled grain from the thresher, that there would be no food there for them to find. An interesting hit / miss Simplicity combo. Ryan's youngest taking Jim's dog Lucy for a ride. Jim caught catching a ride behind Joel's Simple City Landlord.

Kinda a story behind that tractor fellas. I had dad's 1850 Snapper on here awhile back and put it on CL. Way too much of a project for me but a guy saw it and wanted to come have a look see. We got to yakking on the phone and he wanted to trade this Horse he had. I says Ok bring it on over and I'll have a look see. Turns out I nor Dan @Achto who was at my place at the time had no idea what it was but I give the guy 150 off on the price of the Snapper for it. Done deal. Patina to die for and a Tecky that started first pull. What's not to like? I did the usual and changed oil fixed up the choke cable abit, put a kill switch on ... never did get around to the gov issue. .. sorry Mike. Anyhoo it got cold out and wouldn't roll ....yup water in tranny froze. Got it back in the shop and thawed and drained and filled with kerosene. Drained it and got 80/90 back in it but wouldn't hurt to flush it again.. BTW Mike pulled both hubs to change seals and busted one hub brown welded but @Lane Ranger came to the rescue with another three bolt. It had no belt guard when I got it but a suitable replacement was found at the '18 BS with perfect matching patina! Hence the off decal. I got a 604 decal for it Mike at plow day if you want it but guys told me the 502 adds character and keeps jokers & bozos like Craig guessing.. It was a real sorry mess as far as rubber when I got it but Mike did wonders. Wheel barrow front that was bent and wobbly. More character Dan says. I threw a pair of mismatched turfs on the rear it just cause it was peeing cloride all over the shop! Again BTW Mike the the number on the hood was the PO's auction number and the rear hitch was for pulling his hog roaster around. I got three cans of PB Blaster in freeing that up! Pics of what it was. Glad to see it went to a good home where it got more love than I could give it... same with you Denny @dclarke

@wallfish.... Old coot! Hope ya have a good birthday! Heres a pic of John peeing on the bumper of a classic truck at Zagrays....the guy has no class

With the exception of the seat and mid grader. I bought this 73 no-name 12 from the original owner. Still had the original spark plug in it when I picked it up. (He kept it)

I am reasonably sure this 953 has never been repainted! And it never be while I'm alive! ! ! !

My 1057 and favorite . I’m the second owner . I’ve never heard a quieter deck than this one. My 856 . There’s a short back seat under the cushion somewhere. This is a photo off eBay and I scored it with the cart too just as a bonus . I was the only bidder. My 212-6 . Now at my cousins house on mowing duty . My cousins (1967 I believe) lawn Ranger. It was doing the mower duties but didn’t wanna blow up the Tecumseh !

My 400 hour 314-8 and my C160

Don't forget that a C195 had six-lug rims. Here is a picture of the 1984 Super C I regrettably sold sitting next to my 1984 C165. I believe the rear tires on the Super C were 27-9.50R15 and the fronts were 18-6.50R8. My C165 has since gained 18-8.50R8 turf tires on the front, NOS hood, and a regular muffler so it looks a little more the Super C. I believe where the frame of the C195 is lengthened is behind the foot rests to allow the machine to accommodate the larger diameter tires. I don't think I'd go moving the foot rests forward, it seems easier to add a few inches to the rear to me.

My first time at the show was a great time as always. I wasn't sure what to expect going to the show other then it was going to be big. Definitely was a big show , alittle of everything you wanted to see, all them demos which I failed to get pictures of alot of it but I'll share what I have.the flour mill my wife and I bought some of the flour from here on Friday morning and made biscuits and gravy was delicious!all the tractors waiting to pull in there classdan @Achto pulling "Hooker 2" hahamy oldest boy giving his brother a ride in the tub cart my wife I think took over my 633 road it all weekend with my littlest guy. Was her first parade!

753 has 3 spoke steering wheel and key with pushbutton starter. 854 2 spoke and key switch

So, Sunday afternoon I am relaxing on my bed and I hear something fall in the bathroom. I have heard my pill bottles get knocked off a shelf by adventuress mice. I do live out in the country so field mice are common. I go into the bathroom to investigate and discover the culprit. I have seen Massasauga in the yard several times but suspect this is a wannabe Hognose. Still a surprise. It put up a bit of a fight but I was able to relocate it back outside.

Had this gorgeous 1-owner B100 years ago.. wish I kept it.

I have 6 x 10 with a ramp gate. Using skinny tires I can put my 857 on sideways and my 953 & 1267 on side by side. If I had to do it over again the smallest I would want is 6 1/2 x 12. I would get the biggest trailer you can store,haul and afford. You never know what you might need in the future.

My 857 I got from HHHOOOWWWAAARRRDDD!!! @857 horse . I think the paint is original. You can see the holes in the hood for the insect sprayer mounting and the on the exhaust pipe is the hook up for it. Hey HHHOOOWWWAAARRRDDD!!! . The # 8 is on the hood. Is that the number you were telling me about at the show?

Happy Birthday @Chris T! You didn’t mention that Super C was your birthday present, did ya? Have a good day!

I'll take two please.

Maybe you should have left it in. Field mice is good snake food....

Hmm I think I just found my next tool purchase! I didn't know this thing existed until this post. Awesome saw, makes me wanna go fabricate something

JOHN, HAVE A VERY GOOD ONE. YOU ARE NOT AS OLD AS ME YET.

sorry, Last post was supposed to go out yesterday. Seriously thankful for all the information.. For now I am just getting it running.. within 10 mins of my guy having it he sent me a vid of it running so that is hopeful. loved the sound of the engine. got new tires in already and there was a few things that were needed to make er go. I'll check with him tonight and keep you folks posted.. glad to have such a great community to turn to. and yes, probably just going to spit shine it for now and ride it. but i work at a place with a full spray booth and ability to produce vinyl graphics.. i may do a restoration on it at some point, but the good Lord knows i don't NEED another project right now was just too good to pass her up.. got er for $80 delivered

This could be good...

It’s all fun and games until the spool runs out of wire...

Your voltage regulator is mounted to the upper part of your flywheel fan cover. It has a three wire flat connector with all of the wires going behind the fan cover. If the regulator/rectifier is not properly grounded the voltage can go higher than normal. Remove the two screws that hold it in place and clean the contact area with a little steel wool or sandpaper.

Thanks everyone !

John. @wallfish Good thing you guys don't live closer... That could be "some" birthday party......

Engine is all sealed back up and mounted back into the tractor.

Happy Happy 'fish! Please tell us @Sparky is full of it and you was just checking out the chrome that close to the sundae stand! Lookit the heads on this pair!

Happy Birthday John. Party well, but stay away from the gasoline.

Here ya go AMC! And yes i know the belt guard is wrong

Well, well, well . . . what have we here?! I was digging around in my father-in-law's shop/shed today and found this stuck in a 5 gallon bucket. Made my whole day.

Somewhat a big following of Case fans around here Ollie and if I wasn't such a WH freak I would have a couple. Your best bet is hop on some of the other GT sites and shake some trees for parts. More than a few Case/Colt specific sites out ther this just being one of them. http://www.jicasecollector.com/index.html as well as the dreaded FB.
