ClassicTractorProfessor 5,256 #1 Posted May 19, 2019 There I was this afternoon minding my own business, when out of nowhere this crazy Horse just up and jumped in the bed of my truck Was hauling some stuff to the city dump today and stopped to visit with my friend Ray (from my C141 story) and our other friend Joe. Joe was telling me about this 753 he bought at auction the other day. I told him he better keep an eye on it cause as we all know they like to multiply, I started with 1 and ended up with 5. He told me I might end up with 6 after we go look at it, and that the main reason he bought it was he knew I would want it and he could trade me something for it. Ended up giving him his $150 dollars back that he paid for it and about three hrs labor on his truck this afternoon. This tractor has been in the area it’s whole life, being originally owned by the school, then was sold to another gentleman who used it until he was no longer able to, after which it sat in his garage up until his estate sale a few weeks ago 7 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clean it up and enjoy? Or a resto? Probably just going to clean it up get it running and use it as is for now, I’ve already got two projects with my round hood custom and the Ray’s C141 I’m doing a complete Resto on. At the rate I’m going those two should keep me busy for quite a while. Probably just gonna get this one running good and maybe do a little mowing with it this summer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,256 #8 Posted May 19, 2019 Got her in the shop a little bit ago...probably pull her outside tomorrow and give her a good bath. Ignore the junk Craftsman in the front of the shop...it’s only waiting on it’s owner to pick it up after repairs 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #9 Posted May 19, 2019 I just noticed the tank on top of the dash, is that the rare and elusive extended run-time option? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
