Retired Wrencher 5,450 #1 Posted June 1 I pick this one up from @Darb1964 about three weeks ago. It is ruff but That’s what makes it good when you have parts. So I have two in the works now a 1057 and this 1067. I like to keep busy with these fine tractors. Looks to be some one sprayed the hood and over the decals some what. I have some GOOF Of it worked well to get some of the paint off without ruining the decals. I hope you enjoy the picks. 7 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,212 #3 Posted June 2 Hello Retired... This is a nice machine. One thing that caught my eye is the, to me, unusual mid hitch bracket. Do you have any more info about it? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a hard time letting that old girl go but I knew I would never be able to get to doing her justice. I made a knew friend and passed on a nice old Horse that deserves saving. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have any more info about it? The gentleman who bought that tractor new bought attachments that I was unable to find and probably were used up. I knew the gentleman my entire life and did not know he owned that tractor until after he passed and his family's sold his estate. One of the attachments was a power take off for running things like a hay elevator. I thought that Might be how it was attached. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citrus paint remover works well too for getting the spay paint off. It's weak compared to the solvent strippers so it will remove the spray paint but not the original paint if you don't leave it on there very long.

Trina has used it in the past on tractors and other things. It's easy and slow. Not super aggressive. Might be just what you need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,360 #11 Posted June 2 That is the bracket that holds the pulley for the mule drive. I have that same bracket on my Raider, but I lack the pulley also. My raider has been converted over to the newer style mule drive. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yepp. That's the one she used on the Millie rebuild "second edition" 10 minutes ago, squonk said: You need a regular mid tach o matic and frt mule drive adapter. Excellent. Thanks Mike. He's got the mid hitch from the Workhorse parts tractor. We can figure out how to adapt the front hitch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,656 #17 Posted June 2 (edited) I think all the later model frames have the big base Kohler engine mount holes. Compare the frames you may be able to used the Work Horse frame. There is a second bar on the Work Horse frame you would have to saw off to used the existing parts. Edited June 2 by Lee1977 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just the garden hose with a fan tip for liquid fert application. works great. I will soak all and blast with the electric washer later when I decide what the heck I am doing.
