I saw one of those trucks yesterday! There was something in the way of parking my Horse however…

Afternoon fellas and Felletes... Been using a 2011 Rogue with a CVT as a daily... cant tow "poop" with it... rating is 1000lbs and thats 999 too much. These CVTs are WEAK... but I digress. Sold the Rogue to my Nephew as he was daily driving a '96 F350 4x4 with a 460!! Bought a '16 Jeep Renegade 4x4 with a 6 speed manual. 4.43 rear gears and a full tow package. Its rated for 2000 lbs. I hate driving my pickup in salt all winter... this will allow me to move tractors and such around, help my family and take trash to dump. All the while the GMC Sierras frame says Thank You! Thank You very much! A 4x6 trailer and one tractor with 42" sd deck is in the 1300 lb range. I tested it and am plesantly surprised at the performance. Engine is a 1.4 l F.I.R.E Turbo so far MPG average is 32.5 Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend Tony

If you are a supporter (USERNAME IN RED) of the best tractor website on the internet, you can get in on this. I have one Keyrack and four keychains that I will be drawing a name for on Friday the 20th. Post once here and you will go on the list. Good luck and thanks for being here! (USA ONLY)

I do believe this image has been posted on here before, but I'm too lazy this morning to try and find it. It's currently showing up on some random truck facebook group page and there seems to be conflicting guesses on the lawn tractor.

The grass looks dead from the heat and lack of rain. I thought a good scratching may wake it up.

Nice, Tony. The 6 speed is a bonus - "The Ultimate Millineal anti theft device" - they have No clue what the third pedal is for...,,,

Haven't tried that. Tried a carb, tried a coil and plug, tried the sticking exhaust valve. Just won't run. Guess I'll hit the hardware store for some red later.

Spec # checks out as a ... they used the original shroud. Short block maybe? Just keeps gettin better... Found this under seat debris... regular freakin hardware store there... Now I gotta see if I can save the rusted tight needle nose... Whatthehellisthematta with a clown like me...

I picked this up today thinking it may go to my grandson, but….then I saw it - it’s really nice and I’m keeping it! Sorry kid 🤪 The deck is like new…the paint is good, it’s very clean and don’t ever get me started on the seat

Bring it to the big show next year and let's get'r fired up

Makes you wonder just how many of those @Pullstart Kevin could fit.....!!

Turbo -air 164 80 HP. 2 1bbl carbs one on each side. I had a 67 " Vair " with the 110 HP and Powerglide. It would go like stink!

It was an opposed air cooled flat six cylinder engine. The garden tractor being loaded appears to be a Speedex.

Change the paint. It'll feel better.

It's shown in this video at around the 55 second mark:

Super nice….and that deck! Looks like it hasnt seen much use.

I had to watch 3 of my grandsons the other day while my wife and daughter went to a funeral. They got kinda' antsy, so I figured "why not take them for a ride with ole' rusty". Went all around the property, up into the woods and back. They had a blast. So did I.

The belt sider cover on a 953/1054 has no lower belt guide, that is done by a piece of angle iron bolted to the engine and rear of the frame..

Pick me! Pick me!

Plus he has orginal oil air filter for it. Going to try and get him to throw in one bottom plow with it

Glad I bought both 6" and 5" nipples the 6" puts you too far out and bumps the clutch peddle arm after assembled, the 5" in my opinion is just right.

Ah, yes... the 2 speed Powerglide. With two forward speeds - "slip" and "slide"

You sure the stink wasn't you and your squonk eggs?

Its all there except head light covers.

Inrteresting engine may not have been the only thing swapped out. Tranny manual shows 103916 for a c-161 Briggs twin. (1-1/8" 8 pinion) 5086 is 1" 4 pinion used in several other models... I have never broken any WH gear tranny... Measure you axles....

@PWL216 Nice tractor!

Those that speed them up and trail ride through the woods weld the differential. One reason is traction the other is to have brakes on steep hills. Braking one wheel will lock and the other will freewheel

Nice ,looks practically new.

That one is almost tooo purdy to use...NOT!!

On the Corvair pickup, VW had a pickup version of their bus, and so the US carmakers made their own. Ford had their Econoline vans and pickups, Chevrolet had the Corvair, and Dodge had their A-100 vans and pickups. The Corvair was closer to the VW design as it had a rear engine like the VW. The engine in the Corvair, I believe was an inline 6, air cooled if I remember correctly. Ford and Dodge had front mounted, liquid cooled engines. Chevrolet did bring out a front engine mounted van, but I can't remember if there was a pickup version.

Any quality pipe dope or tape will do. Like penetrating oil everyone has their favorites.

@PWL216 that rig is so original , its scary , 303 PRODUCTS , MAKES A GREAT , VINYL ENHANCER . preserves what you have . that paint is right on the point of a waxing or a mineral oil wipe down , NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE IT . like oil in the mower deck , lower edge rail to deck area , lets it creep into related areas . lucky you , pete

Tractor just home. Engine as received. Tractor de-greased and washed. Wire harness as received that was heavily butchered and modifies with a toggle switch for on.off and a push button start. Ignition coil was dead when I got it and I assume they may have put +12V to it. Wire harness rebuilt and a new ignition coil installed. Tractor cleaned up and running. I will run the old gas out of it and put in fresh fuel before adjusting the carb. Steering block was worn so new bushings installed there and on upper steering shaft. Clutch idler was repacked with grease and now runs quiet and smooth. PTO ball bearing and grease seal replaced. PTO needle bearing greased. Proper PTO pin installed. New roll pin installed into shifter as a loose fitting straight pin had been installed by PO and shifter was very loose. Shifts great now.

Neat looking tractor. Hopefu,lly, the replacement belt cover has the belt supports to make sure the clutch will fully release.

Mother in law had a "Vair" She forgot the brake one day and the car disappeared from her driveway. It ended up a block away after rolling down the hill! When my wife was in college she wanted a Christmas tree but had no money for one. She cleaned a high school at night and the school gave her this giant tree they used for the play. She got that tree jammed into the trunk. When I bought my 67, there were 31 empty quart motor oil bottles jammed all around the engine where the spare tire usually sat. It smoked like a fish until I replaced the pushrod tube seals.

T-MO interesting pick up! Never seen one like that.

No 10 mm sockets under there...???

So far, yes. Find out why it was parked though, before you buy it......

Thank all of you for the Birthday wishes! I reached the Required Minimum Distribution Age today! Ruth already had it spent before the check came! I had my customary steak, with the bonus of tater tots and caprese salad! Also today I got one of my oldest RJs out today and started it for the first time with the new Nova Ii electronic ignition module! After the first pull fired it up I can believe I haven’t changed from Points to one of these before!

Yep same tractor ... 1067 My first one and first resto. Was supposed to be a trailer queen and parked in my living room to look at. @Achto 's restos are a hell of alot nicer than mine and he has no qualms about sticking them in the dirt so who am I? Used to plow with it after resto till I set up a dedicated 1257 plow mule. Would like to find a rough molested 1267 to resto. Only model I would ever resto again.

Thanks! Yeah, been pretty busy, and will continue to be for a while. Next up is priming and coating that metal roof with black silicone (not great for heat dissipation, but going for the resale value curb appeal...). Garage is already done and it looks great. After that, I have some wood floors to sand and refinish, then new kitchen countertops, sink, and some painting to do. Whew!

I gotcha covered. C'mon down! We'll get yours fixed up too.

The only Wheel Horse that I bought that had that much paint still on it was my 1977 C-120, and I bought it new.

I asked techs up here. It can be up to 2 gallons depending on the pump set up. In my area we have a mix of stations with dedicated hoses or not. I make SURE to have 5 gallons or more put in my car before filling the non ethanol cans.

How are you testing it. I buy mine at a station that has a dedicated hose on a common pump. I’ve always wondered if there’s other shared piping that’s diluting my ethanol free purchase.
