Here I am selling a GT-14 and 18 auto. The GT-14 has been recently restored and is in great working shape. 3pt works and it fires up everytime. It comes with a top link and no attachments. The 18 Auto is in its works clothes, but in very nice shape. All metal is straight and is a very good worker. Newer Carlisle 26x12-12 ag tires on the black. This tractor is ready to be put to work also. I comes with a top link as shown in pictures, and could come with a front push blade for $1400 total. WILL TRADE FOR REASONABLE C-160 8 SPEEDS ON BOTH. DELIVERY IS AVAILABLE FOR AN EXTRA CHARGE

My son is almost definitely going into the trades. He might need a semester or two at a community college to finish up some certificates, but he wants to go to Vo-Tech when he gets into high school. The one CC in our area that offers those programs, by then I should be able to pay his tuition out of pocket. It is less certain what my daughter is likely to do, but she's only 10. We have time. In the mean time I am putting money that my dad wants to see in a 529 into their Trump accounts because it's far more flexible in how it can be used once it comes available.

I agree that college is not the best route for everyone. My wife and I took the approach that some sort of education or training after HS would be likely, preferably leading to specific expertise as well as knowledge of (and insights into) the wider world. And it would not be free. So we planned accordingly.

I agree. My parents, my dad in particular, were on me from the day my oldest was born to be saving for the kids' college expenses. I told them I didn't really want the kids to go unless they wanted to do a job where a degree was must, and I'd figure out how to pay for it then.

C120 strikes again... Setback #5, (I think)
BPEisenhower replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Got plenty of nickel rod in case of a crack in the cast but I absolutely don't want to damage a good piece of it. I could use a torch but, I have patience for now 😁. I also soaked the rear hubs so I have a better chance for saving them just in case but, I want to use them for a pattern when I get the nerve to install a tall skinny set of duals instead of using threaded rods. Much better if those are solid to the axle. I've found years of neglect in maintaining equipment but never had a steering pedestal broken off on anything before. But, it's a good way to learn what to look for and how to fix. The other problem is that I was driving the Charger 12 and it began to lunge ahead and bucking violently. I'm thinking it needs fluid change and flushed before I use it again. Can't do any harm to grab a new 1410 filter and 10-30. If I remember correctly the Sunstrand is piston to piston so might be a chore to overhaul but, it doesn't scare me. Have to see if it's possible to install an oil cooler for longevity. Rather deal with hydraulic problems than electrical any day! -
My family and I rented a canal boat on the Erie some years ago. Great fun and we all learned quite a bit. A few years after that, I had the chance to ride my bike from Buffalo to Albany, most of it along the Erie Canal pathway that had previously been used by the mules, pulling the barges. But the most fascinating lock that I’ve been through, was on the Saranac river in the Adirondacks. It’s very small, manually operated, andonly large enough to accommodate two or three canoes, but by having the lock, we were able to avoid a half-mile canoe carry around a rapids. Thankfully, there were plenty of smart people in our history!

An excellent point!

The piebald buck didn't show tonight. This guy fed on acorns under my tree for 10 minutes. I gave him a pass.

Just thinking out loud here and may not even be possible but can you just use a lift cable straight to Brinly hitch bypassing rear rock shaft? I know that your 854 and my 1257 doesn't use a rear rock shaft like the 520's have just wondering if your loosing travel by using it (rear rock shaft) that is. Even when chain is in lowest setting on rock shaft its well above where lift cable attaches.

C120 strikes again... Setback #5, (I think)
James Wright replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Those pedestal bolts snapping above the threads sounds like a fatigue problem more than anything, so I'd check the Charger 12 frame for cracks before drilling for the through-shaft and PTO linkage — tapping into thin cast can go badly fast. On the rims, I'd lean toward the wider 12-inch set for stability with fluid fill, even if the skinny rims make the AG tires look taller. Taller sidewall does look better, though. Given the Michigan fall, at least the soaking is happening indoors. -

Wow ty great job 👏 -
Hello there Horse Family! Another great fall day and time after work to get a few things done. Not so fast! Went to move the C120 and the entire steering pedestal moved enough to the left, the hood opened. No bolts on the right side and the left broke off above the bolts. No problem! Wrong!!! Too thin to weld, ok! I got a Charger 12! Started tearing it down and two problems. First, there's no spot for voltage regulator and gauge. Second, Charger 12 has electric PTO and have to drill out holes to run the through shaft and tap holes for the PTO linkages. So, I got the roll pins soaking and steering wheel shafts soaking so hopefully, no broken steering wheels. However, I did notice that the Charger 12 has a cigarette lighter and appears to have not been used. Choke and throttle pull cables still work and looks like plenty of good used parts. I also want opinions on what rims I should use for the AG tires on the rear. Do I use the skinny rims so the tires appear to be bigger or the 12 inch rims? I'll be fluid filling them anyways and painting them before mounting and fluid filling. Tell me what you would do, no wrong answers!! Thank you all! BTW, I'm not dismounting the original tires from rims, I found an extra set 12 inches wide 😄

I've watched it done but never been through personally. Songo locks between Sebago Lake and Long Pond. Only about a 4 foot differential. Very interesting to see.

Last year, we, my wife and another couple from the mid west, spent some time on the Erie Canal. Very interesting and my first time to pass through locks. Some take-aways for me was how quickly the locks filled and lowered. 2. There was a private boat passing through the locks. If I understood, there was no charge for their passage. 3.There is one place where we drove under the canal. I am amazed how the builders were able to predict the fall in elevation needed for the water to flow at the speed that I suppose was desired. I realize that cultures built canals many centuries ago but I found the Erie Canal quite interesting.

Won't need to buy another tractor but there'll definitely be one built for camp. Trina and I will each have one there. Also several implements which we already have two of. Snow plows. Mid mount grader blade. Mackissic chipper shredder. Some sort of trailers.

Definitely a good idea
