bo dawg 518 #1 Posted October 11, 2020 Couldnt refuse the deal on these 2. Bronco that ran when parked several years ago, and a 120 with Ark loader. Loader seems to be in good condition, 12hp runs and sounds decent but smokes a little and looks like rode hard and put up smoked! I will take some time and do some quick cleaning and sorting and see what I got then go from there. Lol! Thinking about either replacing the 12 hp with a 16hp, or pulling loader and putting on a C-175 8, or SK486 8. Not sure if i want it on a hydro or 8 speed. 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 72,993 #2 Posted October 11, 2020 Interesting subframe on the loader. Also the brake pedal on the Bronco. I've run equipment with both hydro and gear drive. Not sure I prefer either. Hydro would be more simple to hook up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bo dawg 518 #6 Posted October 12, 2020 Had a couple hrs to investigate the 120 this evening. Put a battery in it, added some oil to the low black sludge that was only on the tip of stick. Lol! And with the original black carboned up spark plug she runs and idles real good, well after I pulled the black caked up air filter. This ol'girl was rode hard and put up smoked! Its gona need alot of work to keep going, if the engine isnt too tired, it will need new front end, axle, spindles, hubs/bearings, and tires. Then a rewire to clean up previous hack job. Where the bucket attaches the holes are wallard out pretty good too. Oh well, I plan on pulling loader off and repair whats needed and see if tractor is worth it to me to fix up enough to work and possibly do a heart transplant with a 16hp. Probably install loader on one of my other tractors. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 1 spare parts tractor that I could get the front end off of, and extra set of spindles. I do have a better hood for it too. It would be the same equal equipment. I also have a parts guy that lives approx. 1 mile from me too. Lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
