Nice score Matt!
So does the 8000 reference the hp? Is it an 8hp Briggs?

Yes, 3hp, 5hp and 8hp. The engine in this thing is a gigantic cast iron Briggs 23FB.

I ripped off the ridiculous chrome stack and made a 1.5" exhaust that now dumps out back.

It is a little loud, but the long stroke cast iron big Briggs sounds like a Harley, so I like it.

It's funny you mention that, because I was actually thinking about giving it a try. 

Pretty funny how I aquired it. I was going through some old pictures on my computer and had several pics of this tractor from the Woodstock Fair about five years ago. I had taken a bunch of pics as reference because I'm in the process of fully restoring another 8000. As I was looking through the pics, I was able to zoom on this pic with the info card in front. The guys name and location was on the card. I looked on Google, found him, called him and made him an offer. It was actually pretty lucky how it all fell into place.

      1975-77 Yanmar YM2000Z.  I got as a basket case and did a lot of work on it.  Tractor only but I have a new Jbar brush hog that can go with it.  954 hours.  It slips out of high gears after a bit or uphill.  I Don't know if that is an easy fix.  New starter fuel pump to tank.  All new belts hoses etc.  new front tires and tubes.  rear are original.
      Its been a couple years since new parts but covered and cared for.  Feel free to ask any questions.  I could maybe deliver to a reasonable area.  Health says its time.  I need less responsibility and maint.  These machines need to continue to move or they wont.
       
      Thanks guys.  Pictures soon.  about 40 minutes south from my place.

      Hi all, as mentioned in another topic I visited the local harvest-show in Onstwedde again. I brought my mini International 1468 with me and got set up at around 9 in the morning. Gates opened at 10.
      It was a bit overcast and wet at the beginning but it turned out to be a nice and sunny day for the most part.
      @Pullstart requested some show pictures so here ya' go 
       
      All set up, waiting for the folks to come in and say Hi.
       

       
      This 1/3rd scale stationary thresher is built by my dads grandpa (who has passed away) and is now owned by my dad's uncle.
      He tours the country with it and displays it on several shows. It actually works and my dad's grandpa used it to harvest beans.
      The steam tractor that powers it is not my dad's uncle's but happened to be there aswell so they thought let's see if the tractor can power the thresher. Worked flawlessly.

       

       
      Besides the small tresher there's always a real one setup aswell. They thresh grain and bale the straw with the attached baler. 
      Powered by a flat belt off a vintage Hanomag tractor.

       
      Threshing machine, Dutch built out of the province of Groningen.

       
      Straw baler. The bales are manually tied and knotten.

       
      This apparatus was placed before the thresher. Not 100 percent sure what it does but it seemed it gets rid of excess chaff and other unwanted debris.

       
      Who can guess what these are and/or what they're used for?

       
      Vintage DAF truck. Dutch truck brand. This one was very nicely restored. 

       
      And another one, this one obviously for military use. Note the second axle which is free rolling. This helped it conquer dunes and tranches in rough conditions. My granddad used to operate one of these.

       
      Also no big center differential on the back axles but driveshafts coming directly from the main gearbox. The shock is the rear of the vehicle. I guess they went this route for maximum ground clearance and articulation.

      Show off what your doing from the seat of your Horse!!! Fixed up a mowing deck for the 1277 and put the plow on the C1014. Getting ready to level a topsoil pile and going down the block to mow the small park to test the mowing deck out.
