I Stumbled Upon Another Tractor!

Recommended Posts

So, I'll make this one short and sweet. I found a 1967 1277! :greetings-clappingyellow:  She's not pretty, but she's solid! Runs and drives great! I'll have to make a tie-rod adjustment though & I just wish the rear fender pan wasn't as bent up, but I think I found a new winter worker!  :handgestures-thumbupright:  OH MY was it wet and rainy getting it though.  :eusa-doh:

I have been watching that one on cl for a little while. Was it in Brookfield I think? Nice with the rear lift hitch.

Thanks guys! and I found it in Bristol.  Steve, you may have seen a different one if you were watching it for a while, because this one was put up two days ago.  I think the rain makes it look nicer than it actually is, but the rear hitch is definitely a nice option!  :) And yeah, Craig, they are pretty cool! I think I'll really grow to like it!

Plow, chains, weights and lights, wow!  Not too often you can unload them and go right to work.  :text-+1:

Surprisingly, this is the third one I've gotten that was ready to go with no alterations!  :handgestures-thumbupright:

Just a few more pictures of the new (to me) :wh:

 

I'll have to get a few pictures of what I got with it.  The previous owner had made a rake that attaches to the bottom of the dozer blade to tear up ground, and also a home made rear weight bracket!

I saw that one as well and I myself was considering it. The price was RIGHT. The weights are worth what the guy was asking... Glad you got it!

I think so.  One has a bad bulb that i'll have to fix, and I think they look better (to me at least) than just seeing holes in the side of the hood, so I think they are gonna stay.

:USA:  :wh: Tom. Nice find. Get some old #7 compound buy DuPont and a cheap buffer at Harbor freight buff it out u will see the difference the paint is good enough to do this. I have the 1257 and it is my #1 tractor. I really like the sound of those old Starter/Gen starting up. So enjoy the ride and good luck with the 1277. Gary    B.....
