themasterofmachines 3 #1 Posted January 31, 2014 This is my hardest working member of the family. It has a K582 swap for 23 hp, home made ROPS bar that is also an air tank, home made manifold and stack, home made foot operated directional control. It has the 3pt and pto, but no steering brakes. Wanted to see what you guys thought about it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themasterofmachines 3 #25 Posted February 3, 2014 A family emergency has made me have to list it. I listed my motorcycle too, and I'm praying that it goes first. Then I can keep the horse. Priorities priorities, the bike doesn't plow worth a damn anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
