TIGman 2,006 #1 Posted October 29, 2016 Had a chance this afternoon to install the gas tank I made up for the BIG TEN. Was missing the original air filter assembly when I got the tractor, so I also had to "Macgyver" something up for that till I find the correct cover. Got everything back together and started her up and took her for a test run. Everything checked out great. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 26,734 #6 Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Gas tank looks great in there Tig, maybe some nice yellow steal straps instead of the zip ties. Just a suggestion. I like the air cleaner cover!, for some reason I was expecting a soup can. Not sure why. Any way, great looking tractor!

All I had on hand at that moment. You'll laugh when I tell you what the air cleaner cover is made out of..... It's made out of the top of a plastic sleeve that goes over the safety bump posts by large overhead doors. One of the extra sleeves laying in a crate found new life !! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,681 #10 Posted November 6, 2016 By now, everyone on here who's seen my posts, know that I enjoy GT plowing. I spotted that three point lift on your tractor and was instantly thinking plow tractor! Then I remembered seeing one of these plowing this year at Bluniers. I'd finished a furrow and turned around and there he was finishing his furrow with an 8" Brinly. Those are cool little tractors and you have a particularly good example! Nice find 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice find Yes Jack I do like the 3 point type hitch the B series tractors had on them. Found this photo of a B-10 with a box scraper mounted on the 3 point. I always liked the hitch my friends GT 14 has on it too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,681 #12 Posted November 6, 2016 im drooling all over my phone! Something about those TruPower AG tires and ground engaging implements really get my attention no matter what kind or color of old genuine garden tractor! Thanks for sharing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
