Snuck over the state line to PA today

[fireman 1,022]

Well this got listed late last night on Craigslist. Just happened to be checking it one more time before I hit the sack. Called last night at 11:30 and left a message. Called again first thing this morning then hit the road to go get it. The story goes the guy I got it from bought his house from an old woman who was going in a nursing home. The house came with all it's contents. Her husband had died and this hadn't been used in over 5 years. The husband had been the original owner and had a large garden next to the house hence the attachments that came with it. The fuel tank leaks and needs a new gasket. I cranked it over and it seems like it should fire up no problem. The bottom plow is a Brinly. Not sure who made the Cultivator.

Dang, nice grab! Good looking rig with attachments!

What's the thing driven by the belt in between the driver's knees? It looks stock, is it? A generator? Darn nice looking tractor! Thanks for the pics!

Jeff, really nice find! Wish I was up that late I would like to get another round hood soon to restore!

Gerry, that thing you see in the middle of the tractor between the driver's legs is the HY-2 pump, lines, and resovoir. Also, as you can see on the left side of the tractor is the lift ram.

That's actually an HY-3. Same basic setup, but the HY-2 won't properly mount on the 753. Notice the lack of a box for the switches and the hood stand mount is different between the HY-2 and HY-3. The rockshafts are different also.

Jeff, That's a great find!

That hydro lift makes using a front blade too much fun. Hooked up with a solid lift link for down pressure it will make you look for places to dig holes. :thumbs:
