Nice score! :ph34r:

 

So...finally figured out how you do it - you left your magic "tractor finding" wand laying on the back seat?... :ROTF:

 

Nice colors on the wand - but they kinda clash with your bandana... :ychain:

that’s his unicorn brush.

You know I saw that in the picture and thought “they know I have kids, it’ll pass!”

 

i guess not :ROTF:

 

The machine might have come with a few extras...

Here are some spread out pics, before I loaded.

 

The pepper pot muffler came with the tractor, not the black one.  There’s quite a bit in that truck!  The heavy frames have me thinking about the possibility of starting the dump truck frame over, with heavier stock.  I’m up in the air about using one of these grill shells on the dump truck too.  One of these spare front axles will add some beef to the rolling stock as well... if they are not incorporated into a draft horse plow machine.

Rescued this '89 312-8 with short chute snowblower today. Luckily when they painted it maroon metallic, they didn't paint over the ID tag.

Well Its official I am the proud owner of this ! Going to need alot of help with this guys. Gonna start a new topic for it soon. It is a 1964 Lambert 655 but built by Farm-Ette. Needs a lot of help. I dont know where to start. Right now I cant even get it off my truck as there is no tie-rod on front wheels and the rears are locked up. Please keep an eye open for a post in the " other brands" section for better pics and see if we can get it rolling again . Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a good place to start.  Don't know anything about this brand but a bolt is a bolt and we can help you figure it out.

Dug this out of a hedgerow today, took a battery, gas, oil  and carb cleaner along with me, and lo and behold, with a little coaxing and a few shots of the carb cleaner it came to life. Course the mouse wasn't all that pleased about me cranking the engine over.

20200502_153314-1.jpg.58dfe2eb717b53378f6e6483483c2d5c.jpg

 

Got it home, pumped up the tires, they seem to hold air for now anyways,  cleaned out the mouse nest, ran it some more so I could adjust the carb.  It seems to run better,  so there's the start of going through the tractor and giving it some much needed TLC.

The hydraulic lift works fine and I see no leaks,  even the axle seals are good. I think this will just get a nice buff and and oil down,  real nice surviver.

AND YOU GOT HOME BEFORE DARK!! BONUS!!!!!:lol:

I love to see these Big Wheels rescued and brought back to life before they end up destroyed by someone uniformed about their usefulness, durability, and uniqueness.

Nice score!  What’s up with wheels colors on these old finds?  Rebel has a funky color set of wheels like the grilled one too.  The grille and PTO bell are that color as well.

Has anyone broken down a tire to see the inside colors on these funky wheels?
