Ashton Vancoutren 36 #1 Posted May 29, 2019 So I found this gem (1964 854) in a barn. Poor thing caught on fire but was put out before it got totally destroyed. The Stearing wheel, seat, and throttle cable all burned. Luckily I came along and rescued her and now she’s getting new parts and a new home! I would like to see some horses you guys rescued and gave a new life! 13 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71_Bronco 1,072 #10 Posted May 29, 2019 I've seen some sad ones on CL that I would like to grab, but I do not have the time, funds, and more importantly, the space to give these poor horses 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moe1965 714 #13 Posted May 30, 2019 Bought the tractor not running. Exhaust valve was held open no compression. It was going to get parted out. Sickle bar is a sears that was going to the scrap yard. I'm leaving the original patina i like the look. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moe1965 714 #18 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) It's in the attachments section under sickle bar or maybe yard art. If you or anyone have questions feel free to p.m. me I'll be more than glad to send more photos of what I had to do to get it to work on that tractor Edited May 31, 2019 by moe1965 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
