On the road tomorrow morning! Bringing home a new toy!

[fireman 1,021]

Heading out tomorrow morning to bring home a new catch. It's not a Struck Dozer but the next closest thing . I had a Struck and really liked it but had bought it to level my yard after I put on my addition. I wasn't into collecting at the time and sold it once the project was done. I've always regretted it since. This is in decent shape and complete but I am going to do a full restoration on it as they are pretty rare. Only made two years. With any luck I'll have it done for the show in Kent next year.

SteveBo probably pulled me back from the edge a little to hard ! Thanks Steve!

1964 Lennox Kittytrack Dozer

Now that is the way to go Jeff !! Not red but pretty clean. Good thing as I was going to tell you that the struck we looked at is no longer for sale per the current owner (finally talked to him today). Good luck with that one !!

Look at you Jeff..... As George Castanza said.... "I'm back baby, I'm back!"

Cool score :handgestures-thumbupright:

[Ken B 3,164]

That is sweet! Nothing like adding some color to the herd to brigten things up. I bet that Briggs purrs like a kitten.

Very cool Jeff As nice as it looks, you'll probably get the manuals with it, but in case you don't, I uploaded them to MTF a few years ago. Click here (and if you'd like them without the MTF watermark send me an email...)

VERY NICE JEFF. WELCOME BACK. WE DON;T WANT TO LET YOU GET AWAY. THAT IS A NICE TOY TO PLAY WITH. MY PLOW IS WORKING VERY GOOD. RUSS

[fireman 1,021]

Thanks all. Just got back a few minutes ago. 200 miles round trip. Now as soon as SteveBo gets here we'll get off my truck and into the shop.

Russ,

Why do you have a new account?

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,331]

Jeff,

I plan on stopping by in the am (I will take a coffee with just milk) and help unload it.

Steve, I thought it was vodka and cranberry in the morning? :ychain:

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,331]

If I did not have to get on a roof today in the snow I would make it a bloody mary....

[grnlark 487]

Jeff, looking forward to a dozer race at the next Kent show! :handgestures-thumbupright:

[fireman 1,021]

Thanks to SteveBo's help, it's now in my workshop. I'm gonna do some minor things first to get it running and operating smooth.

[Ken B 3,164]

That is way cool Jeff, I'm going to have to stop by one day on my way home from work and check it out. Has it been restored before and are they the correct colors? It looks pretty nice if they are. How many Horsies does the Briggs have?

I bet Steve is on the hunt for one now, he could always use one of them (or even something bigger) up there on the Ponderosa.

[grnlark 487]

...up there on the Ponderosa.

:laughing-rolling:

[Zeek 2,286]

If you decide to check out early, please will this to me :ychain:

[fireman 1,021]

Ken,

It's a 6hp Briggs. It wasn't restored, just kind of a Maaco paint job. I believe the colors are correct.

Zeek,

Funny you said that. My youngest asked me that exact same thing when he saw it!

[Brrly1 1,146]

Colors are correct. We used to have one back when I was about 12 years old.They are alot of fun to play with. The one we had came with a front mowing deck and blade. They were made in Des Moines, Iowa. Right down the street from where the Wheel Horse snowmobiles were made, less than a quarter mile. Jeff, if you ever get bored with it I would definitely make a trip east.

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,347]

Sweet lookin machine Jeff. Will it see dirt work after you go thru it?

Mike......

[Brrly1 1,146]

Bob Rock used to have one of these tractors which of course was painted Wheel Horse red with a logo painted on the hood. I beleive Rollerman then became owner, then it was passed onto Dennis M.,who then passed it on to Ollie who I believe still has it. I would bet that either Bob or Stephen probably still would have a picture. I might even have a picture.

[fireman 1,021]

No work for this when it's done. I may play a little before I go to town on it.

John,

Is this the one you were talking about?

[Jake Kuhn 1,555]

Very cool Jeff! :bow-blue:

[Brrly1 1,146]

Jeff you nailed right on the head. I believe thats the tractor. They were built by Lennox furnace corp located just down the street from AMF where the sleds were built. They also built the snowmobile trailers. I had alot of fun on that tractor. I pushed alot of snow but when you were a kid you could only imagine the different things you could come up with

[fireman 1,021]

I actually saw that at the Wheel Horse show in PA a few years ago. Can't remember who owned it at that time. Mine will stay stock with no modifications!

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,331]

Ponderosa.... go ahead and poke fun. My terramite is more than enough for me around these here parts....

[Ken B 3,164]

^{I forgot all about that Terramite. Where did you have that one stashed when I was up a few weeks ago?}
