squonk 41,105 #2401 Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) 74 C-160. Runs pretty good. Needs a little tuning. All the gears work main belt is ok. Needs the fluids changed of course, another seat and some minor stuff. Deck needs a couple of patches but it's quiet and a heck of a lot lighter than my recycler!

Pullstart 62,863 #2403 Posted August 16, 2021 Storm cleanup. I responded to a “free logs and woodchips” ad on CL this morning. 5 miles away, they even loaded it! Mix between pine and hardwood, but the outdoor wood boiler won’t care. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #2404 Posted August 17, 2021 Set aside the pine for the fire pit Kev .... not good in any outdoor wood lest ya burn it hot and then run the risk of splitting fire boxes.... deadly if you don't have a water cooled door. Too much pitch creosote and whatnot you try to burn it slow. Same with birch. Stick with well seasoned hard woods for the boiler. Pine good for getting things going tho. Some nice boards there they cut it abit longer..... just sayin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been in the same family it's whole life. Purchased from his uncle(original owner)when he was 9 years old. Tucked away in the barn ever since. Uncle worked it, has 750ish hours on the meter. Young man did a fine job of preserving it for me. Wanted one I could work without feeling guilty about it. Oh! Did I say, that 20hp Kohler purrs like a kitten? So easy to see... we love it already. 👍👍 Edited August 22, 2021 by AMC RULES 4 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you happen to find that in Catawissa, PA, or thereabouts, by any chance? I saw an ad for one that recently disappeared. I think they were asking $2,400. Nice find, regardless. Congrats!

Hodge71 664 #2421 Posted September 1, 2021 Craig!, You were literally 10-15 minutes from the new log home! Was the 420 purchased from Ringtown Farm Equipment? I have a couple from them and I get all my parts from them too. I wish you would have messaged me. You could have come over for lunch! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meh I can understand that to a certain point but Craig knows I'd never steal something from under him let alone a 420LSE. I'd sooner a 522 X! or 523DXI with a bagger before a 420. Hell Jeb and I woulda went and helped him load it. I may be selling all of mine soon anyhow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,571 #2424 Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) What's in my mirror did not really concern me too much. It's what ended up in my face that was a bit of a concern. Went to a local drive through zoo today. You are allowed to feed the animals through the window of your vehical, some of the critters don't have the patients to wait for you to get the food out side of the window.
