This is the tractor my dad used to work around the yard.It's a 418-A with 572 hours showing on the meter.I got it after it had been sitting for about a year under his canopy.Got it home and charged the battery,added some good fuel and she fired right up.Got the old gas burnt out of it and she purrs like a tiger.Hope to do a full service on it and get it ready to start doing some more yard work here soon.Plan on building a 2" hitch for it and a major cleanup.Wiring for all the dash lights was gone when dad got it so Ill probably just make a new harness for it.Not sure if the circuit board is any good or not.Headlights work though,lol.

Thats a nice one Richie!!! You are very fortunate to have a 418, more especially your Dads. I have a 417 with about 890 hours on it. Its a terriffic tractor. I can't imagine ever selling it although several of my good friends are doing their best to talk me out of it ;)

I always loved how that big twin sticks out away from under the hood. (Series II and Magnums). That is the epitome of the look I love for those series machines.

Nice job bringing it back!
