corn53 4 #1 Posted October 30, 2010 I Have a B-60 and was wondering what other models have pull start. It sure is nice not having to worry about batteries and electrical problems. Especially when the herd keeps getting bigger. Any others that are good workers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #2 Posted October 30, 2010 Many of the 60's tractors are pull start, some are even elect. and pull start, most but not all were tecumseh powered, yes it would be nice not to have to have a dozen batt.'s to keep up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefeathers 15 #4 Posted October 30, 2010 I kind'a like a rope starter, rember the old addage "KISS" Keep It Simple Stupid"! Batteries,stators,regulators! Oh My! Gauges,switches,wiring! Oh MY!!! How 'bout a tractor w/ electronic fuel injection, auto trans so ya' can install a remote start! Key fob w/ keyless entry? GPS navigation, On Star (tm.GM), Dual climate contorl, Heated leather seats, one year subcription Sirius/XM You get the idea!!! Rember "KISS"! Now where did I put that rope pull starter?

puddlejumper 67 #7 Posted October 30, 2010 Feathers you work with mining equip.If I remember correctly so you know what I mean. I work for a small excavating company. We do not have any GPS guided Equip, as of yet,But we do have dial a grade lasers and auto blade controls on 1 doser, the other 2 are set up with just recievers on the blade, and that is so sweeeeeet compared to when I started 20 yrs ago. I cant even Imagine being able to work several different grades on one work site with the push of a button guided by gps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefeathers 15 #8 Posted October 30, 2010 Your right! Joy Mining Machinery is working on a new system! That'll put under ground mining controls in the hands of top side miners! Change is good! But I still like a pull rope!!! "KISS" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 604 #9 Posted October 30, 2010 I have a modify C-120/180 that has both pull start and electric. The Vanguards start easy, I had a 16 on there for 20 years that finally gave up last spring. I set the choke and turn it over on the first pull. Then turn in the switch and it starts on the second pull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #10 Posted October 30, 2010 This may not be new...but new to me. Just helped a neighbor pick up one of those large Troy-Built sno-blowers...it has heated grips so your cute little hands don't get cold. It doesn't have a cup holder for your Rock-N-Rye though. :wh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just helped a neighbor pick up one of those large Troy-Built sno-blowers...it has heated grips so your cute little hands don't get cold. It doesn't have a cup holder for your Rock-N-Rye though. Send it back! Lowes took over Troy Bilt and things went down fast. They cut out the Antifreeze Holder. What were they thinking. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #12 Posted October 30, 2010 Don...yes he bought it from Lowes...didn't know they took over Troy-Built. Doubt my neighbor knows that either. WOW...looks like a nice machine though...I ain't going to tell him...helped him build a shed for it..... I'm sure I will help him keep it running. What is the anti-freeze holder and what did it do???? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #16 Posted October 31, 2010 More of a memory game, but see how many I miss.......
