Not if the guy says "hold my beer and watch this", or if they were owner inflicted! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,170 #79 Posted June 5, 2017 Some weird/questionable looking stuff here. I also work on old farm tractors. I have become more tolerant and understanding over the years. My farmall m is older than I am 1944. Over the years some strange things have happened to her but she still works. farming is not easy and when your tractor conks out and there is hay to pick up before it rains you do what you have to do to get her back to work. sometimes it fails quickly and gets redone...sometimes the fix last for many many years..can't argue with success. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slim67 2,730 #85 Posted June 9, 2017 I have one to add here . I picked up this # # four today on CL for a little more than scrap. It has a surprisingly good set of Town&Countrys and the front wheels which look to be the longer hubs for my Suburban. The former owner found a carpenters solution to mounting a different engine. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
