I saw one of those trucks yesterday! There was something in the way of parking my Horse however…

Afternoon fellas and Felletes... Been using a 2011 Rogue with a CVT as a daily... cant tow "poop" with it... rating is 1000lbs and thats 999 too much. These CVTs are WEAK... but I digress. Sold the Rogue to my Nephew as he was daily driving a '96 F350 4x4 with a 460!! Bought a '16 Jeep Renegade 4x4 with a 6 speed manual. 4.43 rear gears and a full tow package. Its rated for 2000 lbs. I hate driving my pickup in salt all winter... this will allow me to move tractors and such around, help my family and take trash to dump. All the while the GMC Sierras frame says Thank You! Thank You very much! A 4x6 trailer and one tractor with 42" sd deck is in the 1300 lb range. I tested it and am plesantly surprised at the performance. Engine is a 1.4 l F.I.R.E Turbo so far MPG average is 32.5 Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend Tony

If you are a supporter (USERNAME IN RED) of the best tractor website on the internet, you can get in on this. I have one Keyrack and four keychains that I will be drawing a name for on Friday the 20th. Post once here and you will go on the list. Good luck and thanks for being here! (USA ONLY)

I do believe this image has been posted on here before, but I'm too lazy this morning to try and find it. It's currently showing up on some random truck facebook group page and there seems to be conflicting guesses on the lawn tractor.

The grass looks dead from the heat and lack of rain. I thought a good scratching may wake it up.

Nice, Tony. The 6 speed is a bonus - "The Ultimate Millineal anti theft device" - they have No clue what the third pedal is for...,,,

Haven't tried that. Tried a carb, tried a coil and plug, tried the sticking exhaust valve. Just won't run. Guess I'll hit the hardware store for some red later.

Spec # checks out as a ... they used the original shroud. Short block maybe? Just keeps gettin better... Found this under seat debris... regular freakin hardware store there... Now I gotta see if I can save the rusted tight needle nose... Whatthehellisthematta with a clown like me...

I picked this up today thinking it may go to my grandson, but….then I saw it - it’s really nice and I’m keeping it! Sorry kid 🤪 The deck is like new…the paint is good, it’s very clean and don’t ever get me started on the seat

Bring it to the big show next year and let's get'r fired up

Makes you wonder just how many of those @Pullstart Kevin could fit.....!!

Turbo -air 164 80 HP. 2 1bbl carbs one on each side. I had a 67 " Vair " with the 110 HP and Powerglide. It would go like stink!

It was an opposed air cooled flat six cylinder engine. The garden tractor being loaded appears to be a Speedex.

Change the paint. It'll feel better.

It's shown in this video at around the 55 second mark:

Super nice….and that deck! Looks like it hasnt seen much use.

I had to watch 3 of my grandsons the other day while my wife and daughter went to a funeral. They got kinda' antsy, so I figured "why not take them for a ride with ole' rusty". Went all around the property, up into the woods and back. They had a blast. So did I.

The belt sider cover on a 953/1054 has no lower belt guide, that is done by a piece of angle iron bolted to the engine and rear of the frame..

Pick me! Pick me!

Plus he has orginal oil air filter for it. Going to try and get him to throw in one bottom plow with it

Glad I bought both 6" and 5" nipples the 6" puts you too far out and bumps the clutch peddle arm after assembled, the 5" in my opinion is just right.

Ah, yes... the 2 speed Powerglide. With two forward speeds - "slip" and "slide"

You sure the stink wasn't you and your squonk eggs?

Its all there except head light covers.

Inrteresting engine may not have been the only thing swapped out. Tranny manual shows 103916 for a c-161 Briggs twin. (1-1/8" 8 pinion) 5086 is 1" 4 pinion used in several other models... I have never broken any WH gear tranny... Measure you axles....

@PWL216 Nice tractor!

Those that speed them up and trail ride through the woods weld the differential. One reason is traction the other is to have brakes on steep hills. Braking one wheel will lock and the other will freewheel

Nice ,looks practically new.

That one is almost tooo purdy to use...NOT!!

On the Corvair pickup, VW had a pickup version of their bus, and so the US carmakers made their own. Ford had their Econoline vans and pickups, Chevrolet had the Corvair, and Dodge had their A-100 vans and pickups. The Corvair was closer to the VW design as it had a rear engine like the VW. The engine in the Corvair, I believe was an inline 6, air cooled if I remember correctly. Ford and Dodge had front mounted, liquid cooled engines. Chevrolet did bring out a front engine mounted van, but I can't remember if there was a pickup version.

Any quality pipe dope or tape will do. Like penetrating oil everyone has their favorites.

@PWL216 that rig is so original , its scary , 303 PRODUCTS , MAKES A GREAT , VINYL ENHANCER . preserves what you have . that paint is right on the point of a waxing or a mineral oil wipe down , NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE IT . like oil in the mower deck , lower edge rail to deck area , lets it creep into related areas . lucky you , pete

This one sitting in a field rotting away. So I rescued it. Tractor heavy and already have a 856 that needs love and I can't seem to give away. Saw it at a show several weeks ago and it was sitting there crying save me save me. I jokingly offered the owner a frankie for it and much to my surprise he took it. Motor was locked up so pulled it back to camp for a look see. @Achto @Wild Bill 633 and I commenced to wrenching to find out the motor is free but the SG is tight. Got it loosened up and messed with the points. Exhaust valve stuck open ... pop the head and free that up. Fired right off and drives. Service motor and seller says he has the original I could have but knowing him doubt I'll see it. Four year old Battery was stone cold dead... not a volt in it. Threw it on a charger and it did take a charge and seems to be holding it. Surprise surprise. Tires are abit needy but nothing serious. Best part everything is there, original cigar lighter woo hoo, and fairly unmolested. On the splash pad ready for a bath... sheet metal really straight. Seat & hitch worth the price of admission...

Richie, you are the best.

Not necessarily. Limited slip takes half the power of the wheel slipping and sends it to the other wheel. It is very easy to get just as stuck with and LSD as you would be with an open rear. Half of zero is still zero afterall. How the power transferred also makes a difference in how well it works. Clutch-style LSDs tend to be more susceptible to that kind of issue. Torsen units, which more closely resemble the 10-pinion rears, are better. They have a lower torque bias and so if you have one wheel standing still and the other spinning fast enough you get get a Torsen to act like a locker.

I'm in.

Lever shifter in the Dash board...No Park position had to pull the emergency brake lever under the dash.

I have one in my pile that does not want to run. But it's green.

Hope the mower deck is turned off?

So far, yes. Find out why it was parked though, before you buy it......

Yeah, I know about the 45-degree and 68--degree elbows. But I wanted to know how to hold that angle while drilling and tapping.

You can buy grease zerks that go in straight and have a head that is 45 degrees.

Cream Puff

to the 312 club. Fuel mileage is huge compared to the 400 series. By the way, nice seat

One clue.. A 720p (720x1280) at 30 fps video with sound will average about 1-2 Gb per hour after compression. So final storage for this one is likely ~100-200mb. But compression takes time and a bunch of server power.
