8ntruck 6,376 #4001 Posted January 28, 2020 I got a little CAD time over the weekend and drew up receiver hitch plans drawn up for my 14-8. Hopefully, I'll round up materials and get it tacked up in the not too distant future. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,217 #4003 Posted January 29, 2020 Had some storm damage with a large cedar tree. I finished pulling the limbs down with the Toyota. Used the Wheel Horse to get the generator and saws out there. Then hauled two trailer loads to the brush pile. 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you have a very nice tractor there ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,332 #4007 Posted February 1, 2020 I got out today to go for a ride around the property and to pick up trash that was thrown out by some foolish..... well.... you know ,anyway the old seat from the 520 I had on it finally broke. I've been trying to save my pristine seat that was on this tractor so I opted out for this one which was off one of my chargers which is grounded right now. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph S 342 #4008 Posted February 1, 2020 Started putting a face lift on the old girl. The factory paint is pretty crappy. Do they all peel or just the ones that I have ? 6 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,556 #4009 Posted February 3, 2020 I started a "nontraditional" paint job on a today. The yellow shroud on the trouble light makes it look a little orange but it should have an even better bling factor in the sun light. A close up kinda shows the metallic content in the paint. 2 8 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

balconio 600 #4019 Posted February 5, 2020 Had a fire out in the woods after work: And later in the evening went for a night ride in the backwoods which is currently a muddy swamp. I got stuck a few times with the turf tires, luckily she's easy to push out. 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R. L. Addison 299 #4021 Posted February 8, 2020 Bought a 520h & brought it home yesterday (you guys gave me an itch for one) {no pictures} and stored it at my sons house until I can make room for it. Garage & drive are full and I've got to put a couple more together and hopefully get some sold. They will be workers, not show tractors, as I do not have facilities for painting. A 417h with a rebuilt K301 engine, and a couple C121's with option of various attachments,,[or none]. I have a tiller I haven't been able to sell alone, a dozer blade, and a deck or two. Maybe, hopefully I can get some things moving. R.A. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,138 #4022 Posted February 9, 2020 I put a car battery in the Cinnamon horse a few weeks ago. Group 51 I think? I hadn't taken the time to properly fasten it down. Today I added an extension nut to the end of the battery tray stud and a bolt into it. @squonk and @Sparky you both noted that the high RPM was some higher than normal. Fixed that as well. Also adjusted the carb mixture in high and low. She's a happy horsey now. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
