 Yep a Fairbanks ... I had one that just gave me fits too. Yours even has the original handle.

All loaded up for a trip to western Massachusetts tomorrow. Two tractors for the Big Show via @wallfish.

 

Couple mowing decks and some other variousitems for another Redsquare Supporter. 

 

Swap trade drive blab & stare out the Pilot windows for a couple days.

Today, I worked on pulling parts off an old mowing deck I got from @ebinmaine I also pulled the mowing deck off the 312 as it was making enough noise to drown out the tractor. The idler was bad on that deck so as luck would have it, the idler I took off the other deck was a direct match. Now to put everything back on and try it out.

Thanks I have a set of the V61's on this 520 and a C160 and tri ribs on just about everything else. I like the looks and the way they perform.

Got home from work and the kids wanted to play outside. After a bit my youngest decided to go to the barn because he wanted a tractor ride. He picked out the C120 and we did a few laps. Then my oldest decided she wanted to try and drive it. So I let her try but seat set up was too tall for her to fully reach the clutch and brake pedals so I grabbed the 10-8 since it’s just the one pedal and seat straight on the fender and she fit it pretty good. While she drove around I grabbed the gorilla cart and put the two youngest in that attached to the 120. Great way to end a long work day.

That’s the rule here. Gotta be able to stop if you wanna go (and there is a driving test you must pass). 

To that end, though, I’ve put seat sliders on two of our tractors, each with ~5” of travel, which lets the “small” and the “tall” both be comfy and safe!

Honestly that’s not a bad idea. I’m about to order a set for both tractors.

Here too... Nieces and nephews - I tell them plainly that Wheel Horses are not toys. They can and will hurt you if you don't treat them with respect and care.

 

They are also a very rare group of kids that knows what a clutch is and how to use it...

Ok, trailer is ready. Practically I used 90% old or stashed material, except a few steel pieces or paint. I have regular 4x8 trailer,but I had to add more character to my tractor. Smaller dump trailer add some flavor to it 😁and I'm sure it could handle ~ 800-900 pounds easy. I look forward to it, however trailer tires are weak spot for that weight

We hosted one of our granddaughters for a week and, of course, asked if there were any special activities she’d enjoy. One was learning to drive the tractor with the clutch (854). She was quite taken with the nimble short frame vs. the much bigger 312-H and 518-H++ at home and at the camp.
