Dad traded dump carts with him when my parents built their house 25 years ago and now I’ve had it for 10 of those years. Only thing I’ve done to it is had to replace a tire tube once. I do want to put a different hitch on it but never get around to it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad repowered his 12 automatic the first winter after my parents built their house. He slapped a Briggs and Stratton 18hp V-twin in it. When my dad got a bigger tractor for around the house it sat in the garage for years. He always told me it was mine. So glad he kept it. When I moved into my house it came home but wouldn’t run right so my gramps said come over and get my tractor. He fired it up in the shed and I knew the sound as soon as the engine caught. He liked it so much he did the same thing with the same engine. So I have a pair of them like that. They are absolute beasts. I barely ever have to run over 1/2 throttle. Here’s the 12 auto. sorry for the long story. 6 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for sharing that. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your story is obviously personal, yet so many stories like that are true for the rest of us. So many of us who collect these have a family connection to the tractors. It's a huge part of why we love them so much! And I also have a couple Vanguard repowers, and they are fantastic! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are! 1/2 is fine but just don't run it at a too low rpms, air-cooled engines need sufficient flywheel speed to be cooled. thanks for the story, I love to read those. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
