I had the opportunity to attend a short course today on tractor safety . The Badger Steam & Gas Engine Club put this on as a requirement for all juniors who wish to drive a tractor around on club grounds at their show. https://badgersteamandgas.com/ Rightfully so since any given accidents can shut a show down without a question. Interesting and since I am committed to give a presentation at other shows this was a note taking experience for me in my quest for being a certified instructor. This was mostly centered around big tractors but it still applies to GTs. Lots of farm safety included with loading, tieing down, and grain bin safety. On a tractor's center of gravity and how quickly one can meet a misfortune in a PTO. A nice primer on steam.

Better pics of todays haul. 5hrs of windshield time, low $ for this one. Tractor, deck, snow blower, & a set of tire chains. Runs great, mower deck is smooth & quite, tranny needs a little love. A new set of axle bearings & seals should cure the issue.

You's one o' them little fellas like me eh?

finally got a deck for the c145. It runs well but I’m wondering how tight the mule drive should be.

I picked up a rear oil seal for my Cub Cadet 123 and got the GT ready to install the front grill. Still need to do an oil change, then can use this GT in the garden again. Used my C160 and 36" deck to do a little mowing while wife used Craftsman with 54" deck to mow more of the yard. Then met friends for supper at a wonderful local Mexican restaurant.

That's right! We look like migilla gorilla on these tractors!

This is just a cheapo and it works great! Absolutely recommended for older equipment repairs.

Let me know if you need me to send you gas pedal increaser hammer! LOL

Solid state ignition, Either the coil is grounded out or it is bad.

Back in the late 80's early 90's I would have never admitted that Prince's music was any good. My tastes ranged from AC/DC to Hank Jr., Michael & Prince were NOT on the play list. Now many moons later I can admit that the man had talent unmatched by few.

She was in the middle and I may or may not have had 1 cheek hanging off the seat the whole ride home!

Those wrenches are made from peanut butter, use them as wall hangers and buy a yard sale wrench that may need to be ground thinner.

Got out the 656 for the show today, thought I'd post some pictures...
