Bar Nuthin 2,959 #26651 Posted Tuesday at 01:42 AM Me and the neighbor loaded a few of them up and took them to Portland, IN antique engine and tractor show. Spent the better part of the day riding around the swap meet area and picking up a few things along the way. Only managed to cover about half of the swap meet area and one pass through the antique engine area. Huge event and it doesn't even officially open until Wednesday. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 3,619 #26654 Posted Wednesday at 02:22 AM Added some liquid ballast and installed some new front wheel bearings on “Vince” the 1257. Installed some thrust bearings on front spindles also. Did improve ease of steering. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 2,959 #26655 Posted Wednesday at 02:22 AM Tomorrow, I'll see if I can get some pictures that show the massive scale of the event. Garden tractors are only a small segment. Acres and acres of swap meet vendors, antique tractors, hit and miss engines, food vendors, consignment barn... 5 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 3,619 #26658 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Finished up on the C160 front end today replaced tie rods with some l had made a while back. Also added thrust bearings on the spindles. Good thing I had the homegrown tie rods ready, one of the old ones fell apart when I took it off . Steers way easier than before even with the wider wheels and 5 rib V61 tires.
