Machineguy 876 #1 Posted July 29, 2018 It’s finally in the shop! Probably gonna pull the Tecumseh tonight and might trial fit the K321 on it. I think I know what I’ve gotta do to make that look right with the low hood height. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machineguy 876 #9 Posted July 29, 2018 I’m up to 9 little tractors. I only had 2 before March and I’m running out of room. Stay tuned guys, you might see me on one of those intervention shows! My wife thinks I have a problem and she’s right! 🤣🤣🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machineguy 876 #10 Posted July 29, 2018 Getting tight in my little shop. 4 little tractors on wheels and a completely disassembled MF 14. There’s no such thing as a garage too big!!! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasey54 304 #11 Posted July 29, 2018 I too love the kohlers, however that briggs with the starter generator might be my choice! Nice to have the choices for sure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s awesome to see some other VA guys on here! My family history in VA goes back to 1623 in Jamestown. I’m into history and have deep roots here in Virginia. Especially in Franklin County and Tazwell. That’s where the majority of my Grandparents people are from. If you’ve ever seen the movie Lawless, I’m sitting about 15 minutes from where the bridge scene at the end actually took place. My family and the Bondurants served in the Franklin 10th Calvary together in the Civil War. They all came from the same area of Blackwater. I’ve got loads of stuff I can tell about the Moonshine Capital of the world! Lol You guys are great! Glad I joined Red Square 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually the Briggs and the Kawasaki are spoken for. My father in law had that in his garage and it had came off his father in laws old Simplicity. I actually found it and it’s coming home to me!! I’m gonna put them back together. The Kawaski is going on my Massey Ferguson 14 and should be a beast! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live about 1hr 15min or so from Tazwell in Glade Spring. All great guys. I wish we could get together and have a meet and greet somewhere in VA for the fall. It would be great to pull everybody together, especially the southern guys that might not make it to the Big Show in June. Hint, hint @WV Hillbilly, @oldredrider, @857 horse, @elcamino/wheelhorse, and others my brain is too tired to think of!! By the way, only 9, you're just getting started - we're up to 19, 22 counting farm tractors! Edited July 29, 2018 by dells68 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been looking for some guys to do something like this. Please keep me informed! Guys, I’m all about it!!! Heck I’d like to do some kind of show ourselves! Seems like most shows are in the upper Midwest and a 12-16 hour drive for working folks is tough. Time gets tight. The big WH PA show is only about 5-1/2 hours from me. I just learned about this show watching Vinsrj videos Edited July 29, 2018 by Machineguy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I’m laughing because I’ve got an HH120 Tecumseh that’s definitely not the quality I’ve come to know from Kohler. Dad actully has a 25hp Kohler Command on a 2001 Dixie Chopper we used in our old mowing business that’s never been apart and has 4,700 hours on it. Amsoil since new and one new carb it still runs like a beast! XW 2800 it’s a great machine and will still run stripped circles around any JD z-turn made Edited July 29, 2018 by Machineguy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
