The herd out for some fresh air, and

[Duff 206]

Hi, folks,

Just wanted to share a couple of photos of the herd as of this summer. Left to right (or far to near), 312-8 #1, my first rebuild. This is my mowing tractor, and came from an estate in Connecticut.

The middle tractor is 312-8 #2, my plowing and towing tractor, which my friend Jack (Rideawaysenior) found for me in Massachusetts sitting in a junkyard.

On the right (nearest) is a 310-8 picked up from our member truckin88, fresh out from rebuild. I'm rebuilding a 42" RD deck for this one. Can never have enough working mowing tractors this time of year, right?

I just threw this in to show you how sharp the shifting knobs Glenjeri sells can make a tractor look. Really dresses up the machine!

Nice work, Duff!

Only, please don't let either of my machines see these photos, it'll just give them ideas!

I like the wheel/tire treatment on the 310, kinda gives it an IH/Farmall look, very nice.

What's the "3-something-8 awaiting a rebuild" all about?

Thanks for the compliments, guys! It's been a lot of fun!

Ed, the "3-something-8 awaiting rebuild" is a frame and a bunch of sheet metal and other parts laying loose around my shop. I've got a "hold"on a tranny in Massachusetts, and I'm still pondering what to do for a power plant (thus the "something") since the one that came on the frame (without a tranny!) is complete toast. Maybe a diesel clone, maybe a Honda heart transplant, maybe another Kohler....all depends on the pocketbook when I get around to starting this project.

Thanks again!

Nice heard Duff. And they look well taken care of. I too will not show pictures to my horses, or they will all want a bath and a haircut.

[Kelly 1,028]

I have to say they all look good, and I bet the next one will be as nice.

[chris11 184]

Those are great Duff, They look brand new.Keep up the great work .

Those sure are fine looking herd there Duff. I too like the wheel paint on the 310. Been wanting to do something like that only with the off white rim.

Very sharp looking tractors Duff.

Duff, just saw this, as I might be picking up a 310 or 312 in the near future, that ol' 310 looks great!!!! those case weights are still one of my favorite wheel weights. I was away from here in spring, sorry I missed the pics.

[jimbotelho 1]
