So...finally figured out how you do it - you left your magic "tractor finding" wand laying on the back seat?... Nice colors on the wand - but they kinda clash with your bandana... that’s his unicorn brush. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,887 #1852 Posted April 26, 2020 You know I saw that in the picture and thought “they know I have kids, it’ll pass!” i guess not The machine might have come with a few extras... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,887 #1853 Posted April 26, 2020 Here are some spread out pics, before I loaded. The pepper pot muffler came with the tractor, not the black one. There’s quite a bit in that truck! The heavy frames have me thinking about the possibility of starting the dump truck frame over, with heavier stock. I’m up in the air about using one of these grill shells on the dump truck too. One of these spare front axles will add some beef to the rolling stock as well... if they are not incorporated into a draft horse plow machine. 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy N. 2,154 #1859 Posted April 27, 2020 Rescued this '89 312-8 with short chute snowblower today. Luckily when they painted it maroon metallic, they didn't paint over the ID tag. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #1860 Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Well Its official I am the proud owner of this ! Going to need alot of help with this guys. Gonna start a new topic for it soon. It is a 1964 Lambert 655 but built by Farm-Ette. Needs a lot of help. I dont know where to start. Right now I cant even get it off my truck as there is no tie-rod on front wheels and the rears are locked up. Please keep an eye open for a post in the " other brands" section for better pics and see if we can get it rolling again . Thanks in advance.

rjg854 11,362 #1863 Posted May 2, 2020 Dug this out of a hedgerow today, took a battery, gas, oil and carb cleaner along with me, and lo and behold, with a little coaxing and a few shots of the carb cleaner it came to life. Course the mouse wasn't all that pleased about me cranking the engine over. Got it home, pumped up the tires, they seem to hold air for now anyways, cleaned out the mouse nest, ran it some more so I could adjust the carb. It seems to run better, so there's the start of going through the tractor and giving it some much needed TLC. The hydraulic lift works fine and I see no leaks, even the axle seals are good. I think this will just get a nice buff and and oil down, real nice surviver. 2 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What’s up with wheels colors on these old finds? Rebel has a funky color set of wheels like the grilled one too. The grille and PTO bell are that color as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
