CTPATRIOT 12 #1 Posted January 3, 2011 After looking at this on CL for a while i decided to go check it out tonight(50 miles each way).SO many times whatever i go to look at is junk,i was quite happy when i got there.The mans uncle bought it new,put it in storage in the early "80's and passed away in the early 2000's and it was left to the guy i picked it up from.It runs and drives nice and is super straight.No dents,cracks,welds ect...very nice little tractor overall.

qd-16 14 #5 Posted January 3, 2011 Rear wheel weights also! Would the hydro lift been an option at the time or more than likely added at a later date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted January 3, 2011 Nice tractor, but the hood decals are on backwards, or I should say wrong sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #8 Posted January 3, 2011 Ah, I think it had a newer hood with headlights put on it and they put the decals on the wrong sides, that tractor did not come with the cut out for lights in the orig. hood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #10 Posted January 3, 2011 Was probably a dealer thing, the owner wanted lights so they put a new hood on, and applied the decals wrong, but the paint cond. says it was done early in it's life. and missing the 877 decal on one side, in 1967 the base decal was all the same for automatic models they just added model number decals to them, ie.. 877, 1077 and 1277 Still a very nice find, and only having to drive 50 miles that is nice, I normally drive more :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
