19richie66 17,633 #1 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) 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.

Wheel-N-It 2,976 #4 Posted February 2, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #14 Posted March 30, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
