82Caddy 851 #55 Posted March 27, 2019 Update: Ended up being able to sell a few other big things I had not anticipated people actually buying so there is room for this to move without any issues. Crunch time for moving though. 65 days to closing, 57 days to last day of work and 58 days until the last trip of stuff goes north. Looks like we're just planning on 3 trips with the enclosed trailer and one possibly two with the car trailer. Last time we moved I packed everything my wife and I owned from a 3 bed 1 bath 1800 sq/ft house into this trailer. It was stacked to the brim but it was all there. Now we have a toddler with stuff and much more of our own. Going to be a process that's for sure. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

82Caddy 851 #59 Posted April 19, 2019 No real updates. Just welding and plugging away at this thing. I did secure another enclosed trailer (aka I bought one) so it looks like we'll be making two trips with two trailers and I'll be leaving the car trailer at my parents place for the time being. Basically cutting my travel time in half to get everything moved and not having to worry about what the weather does. 3 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the look of the old metal ones but I find that I slide around on them too much so for a working tractor I prefer something with a vinyl seat surface.

82Caddy 851 #66 Posted May 5, 2019 I looked at a few at tractor supply the other day but didn’t find anything that really stuck out to me as something I had to have. Oh well, I’ll find something eventually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well, I’ll find something eventually. Maybe you could end up just going right back to the standard Wheelhorse vinyl over metal seat. The one with two cushions or the one with one cushion. Regular late 60s type stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,505 #68 Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) ..... How about a short back seat pan and one of @BOB ELLISON ‘s seat covers . Edited May 5, 2019 by ACman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,644 #69 Posted May 5, 2019 The Sears Suburban 12 I dragged home the other day has a big seat spring, but the seat pan is slightly more “hold on to your cheeks” ergonomic design. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on what the end use is gonna be fellas... us furrow dogs prefer a seat you can slide around on. Straight work any kind of what hits you will work. A square pan with a cover would look nice if you can find one. Edited May 6, 2019 by WHX22 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,505 #71 Posted May 6, 2019 I could use that pan @pullstart Kevin if you want to let it go . Got a special tractor for that one . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess for right now, it's just going to be a mower or mid mount grader blade (if I can find one) machine. I haven't really thought much about plowing with it...I don't have the stuff/space/know how. Maybe someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
82Caddy 851 #73 Posted October 23, 2019 Update on this. It's buried in a storage unit until mid March when we close on a new to us home. The deal we had for some land and building a house didn't pan out. Something about a federal lien on the property for unpaid taxes with a bankruptcy and not being able to get title insurance. I didn't (and still don't) understand all the details, but the bottom line is we walked away from the property and building since we couldn't get a timeline on how long it'd take to get the title issues sorted out. We ended up finding a really nice single owner modular built home that sits on a 7.5 ac piece of land. All said and done it's about 100K less expensive then what we were planning to build for a very similar square footage and layout. Big bonus is this one is already done and move in ready minus some decor and paint changes. One nice thing about this property is that nobody can build to the north or behind the property. To the north is a a creek/river that's low land and behind is a completely land locked piece with no easements on it from anybody. View off the back deck: So that's all there is to know at the moment about this project. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,670 #74 Posted October 23, 2019 Thanks for the update! What a beautiful piece of property. Sounds like you saved a bunch of money and so now you have more working capital for your projects thanks for the story and the pics 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
