Grandpa’s 953

@Tonytoro416 I think I speak for everyone when I say that we would all enjoy more pictures of your beautiful 953. I keep going back to look at the ones you posted and thinking “Damn, that thing is nice 👍🏻” -

Thanks a million for all the helpful input! The plan if it checks out in person is to bring her home and use it as is for a while. I will be on the hunt for a head light assembly and checking out it out mechanically. Then long term goal is to slowly restore it with my boys. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for a correct seat but as comfy as the one on it looks I’ll wager it stays on there for a long while. Will be a good project for them as they are both into things like this and use it to teach them how to take care of things. I much prefer older well made things than all the new garbage that’s made today, not just tractors but pretty much everything.

Outstanding, blade for the older decks can be hard to come by and rather high priced.

I have too many low hanging branches in my yard to mow with the umbrella, but is nice to have portable shade at the shows. -
I got plenty. Still one in the works for later on.....
-
It's a 1976 or 77. No hood ornament and a flip up seat.

Got the dock in the lake today. Morgan, the 14-8, got tapped to do the cart work needed to haul the dock sections to the lake from their winter storage area. The job went scary smoothly. No tractor issues, didn't drop a wrench in the lake, didn't get hurt. Good thing I bought a Powerball ticket this morning - maybe I'll get lucky. -

Yes, I do. In fact, I've owned EJ the 8n twice now. Got him initially in the mid 90's to plow my garden, brush hog, and grade the driveway on the 5 acres we had when we first lived in Bowling Green, Ky. I traded him off to a friend in return for trucking a couple of project cars to Mo. when the company I worked for transferred me. Fast forward just over 20 years. We had determined that we were going to winter in Bowling Green after we retired, so we purchased 20 acres of woods, planning on building a shop and a house. We've been working on that project slowly for a number of years. One of the early projects was to work with the county to get a culvert installed and create the start if a driveway. I had 10 tons of gravel delivered, and my son and I started spreading it by hand. Bad idea - so I called my friend to see if I could borrow EJ. He said, yes, oh by the way, would you like to buy him back - so I said yes. EJ and his grader blade made quick work out of that pile of gravel. I think I've got a couple of threads about him in the other brands section of the forum.

Ed, that would have to go out for bid and you know the DOT specifications would drive the price up to several thousand dollars . Next the public employees' union would protest having additional duties put on the employee. To say nothing of the danger posed by those rechargeable batteries. without suitable training the blower could pose a significant hearing and eye hazard.

If it were a 312-8 there would be a wire from the seat switch to an indicator light panel, the 310 doesn't have one. What is the pr4oblem, you never told us what isn't happening The seat switch only comes into play if the PTO is in operation. Low oil level is another thing that can prevent the starter from working.

Sounds like a potential job description upgrade! .

Hi, gwest, I tried to download these documents and there is a format issue. Can you please check them out? Thanks!

Put the rear weights back on the 312-8. Neighbor wants to aerate everyone's yards tomorrow so I told him I'd provide the tractor and fuel -
@ineedanother definitely going to need more pictures of that C-161 !!
-
I agree that you'll probably love it. I just picked up a 1 owner (I believe) c-161 but had to drive to northern VA to get it. Well engineered machines
-
These should be the correct wiring diagrams. Two wires to the seat switch.

A recycler blade will also have very little to no lift on it. -
1969 raider 12 42" blade replacement?
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to kbert1171's topic in Implements and Attachments
42' side discharge. The rear gauge wheel adjuster is on the right side of 42" decks. Left side on 48" decks. 6693 blade replaced by 100200 3-blade kit and no longer available from Toro (Hole 5/8in.x3/4in. Double-D) Stens replacement for 6693 - 3 of 350-041 still available March 6, 2021 and they still come up with a Google search. -
I have a really nice C160.... you are going to love it.

A $50 leaf blower zip tied to the front bumper of these $300,000 paint rigs could blow off the trash and road kills. Maybe add a remote switch for the driver.

The rectifier housing must be grounded. Over time, oxidation builds up on the two mounting fasteners. Try jumping the housing to ground (not the fasteners) and retest. If it works, unmount it & clean the mounting area. Some of us add a ground wire between the rectifier housing and the screw head.... A freshly painted surface can cause issues too if the rectifier is attached to it...
