Nice score Ryan!! Every one should have one odd ball in their line up. The Mafia group has @WHX21 :lol:.

If I remember right those Amigo's had kind of a strange transmission set up. Looking forward to checking it out in person.

Ryan—what a cool little tractor.  Can’t wait to check this one out in person especially to see how they have that transmission attached to the engine.  It looks almost like the big tractors where the tranny makes up part of the structure of the frame.  Can’t wait to hear more history about this make since I know nothing about it. That will be a fun one to show especially at places like portage where everyone is looking for that unique or odd brand.  Good find:thumbs:

I'll take that as a complement Dan .....:lol:

Now the fruitcake has his eyeballs on a 953 carcass up north of the twin cities he thinks he gotta have ... is ther no end? And he wants me to donate a 241 off my 953 carcass that is promised to @953 nut! for parts?!? I'm at wits end here....supposedly Mike @prondzyhad possession of this so called 953 once so feel free to enlighten us Mike! 

Actually didn't look like the worst deal on the 953 ....new rubber and weights alone were worth the asking price...you guy know how much Miller Tire is asking for those rears.

Hey now @WHX21 that 953 is a done deal.. just waiting for Saturday:eusa-whistle:. I am tractor tight after this sound like someone you all know???   ok maybe one more for my narrow front but the way my project are stacking up definitely won't get to that until maybe next year..but I'll make a threat when I get it. BUT my local buddie @PeacemakerJack found this awesome article about demco and the amigo tractors I have to thank him really made me appreciate the work that went into making these tractors. Here it is if you want a good read and thank you Josh again!

Well guys had some time this afternoon to look at and dig into the motor on this little guy well first off I checked for spark it was a no go there I figured I would pull the shroud off and check the magneto out and the wiring in there and it wasn't good magneto is shot while I had time I checked the carb over and the throttle side of the carb is very very hard to move debating on new carb or try to make it work also checked the tank out with a flash light and that also will need some love isn't terrible but needs some attention wouldn't expect any different out of a motor that hasn't ran in 5 to 7 years..

The best thing about being an odd ball is no one takes you seriously. Ask my wife. :)
