That’s great Eric. Yes C/l is not what it used to be. I still look in the farm section for tractors. Not much to look at but every now and then one pops up like the one I saw last year was a no name, 12 beautiful looking tractor and of course I was too late. People still post them there though under wheel horse or wheelhorse.

That’s a looker Mike.

Could it be a couple “spring teeth” off something like this?

January 16, 1919 The 18th Amendment to the US Constitution, authorizing the prohibition of alcohol, is ratified by a majority of US states. This new law of the land would be implemented one year later.

That is why I stopped looking at CL years ago. I don't do FB. Neither Trina or I have searched for a tractor since the first 3 back in 2016 & 17. We now have over 15 here and sold, given, traded that many more. ALL of them have "found us"...
-
Been meaning to. Thanks for the reminder. Yes, side to side will be easily done. To the best of my knowledge there's no actual adjustment for the fore n aft tilt. Shims would work there.

@oliver2-44 @WHX?? @Achto @Racinbob @pfrederi Any thoughts guys? Looks well worn. Implement guard of some sort? Mower?
-
Could it be some sort of weird gas tank strap/holder thingy?

I tried messaging the dude for the red heads before it got posted into this thread but he hasn't messaged me back yet

It's a hold down something or another.

Congratulations. Acknowledgement is the first step in regulating the sickness... Personally, I have never had a problem quitting.
-
I don’t need any more. But I don’t know if I can help it. Every time I say that, I see a good deal.
-
Looks like some sort of springey thingy to me.

Captain Sully was a featured speaker at a Quality Assurance conference I attended about a year before I retired. Very good speaker and very memorable presentation.

Sickle Part 2660

That's my thought, just have to mark and drill the mounting holes first, didn't trust the measure and drill method, not always true! Plus not like I'm going to go do fields all summer...sqrlgtr -

I vote just paint. It's gonna get some scratches, and you can't touch up or repair powder coat. -
Yep- pull the manual clutch disc off.

If you want to use one for working with implements, the Electro might be better. The Tach-a-matic belly hitch will bolt on directly and adding a front hitch is easy too. Then it can run most anything that any other 12hp B/C or Classic 300/400 series machine can. The short frame 875 is a cool little machine. It might be a little more restrictive on what you can attach to it.
-
Both... if the frying pan ain't a heavy one. Bet the Electro would come down to 100. if i only had one benny the 875 fer sure.

@ebinmaine You should check the alignment of the spindle to the table so you can adjust that before mounting vises. To do that, mount a dial indicator in the drill chuck and swing a large circle on the table. Side to side is likely adjustable but front to back might take shims or machining to get it right. Some call that traming. I’m sure you can find videos on YouTube and a few of them might be correct.
