Hodge71 664 #607 Posted July 25, 2015 Its not necessarily whats in my mirror but more what the mirror itself is in.... Got me a new Horse Hauler....The YJ is gone and has been replaced by a JK Unlimited Rubicon... Good enough for towing 3500 pounds of Horses...I can't wait to pull with it...Plus with the back seats folded down it is big enough to sleep 2..

Racinbob 11,050 #609 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I got to do it again Doug, the gentleman who had the 701 and other stuff I hauled to the big show sent me a text yesterday. He wanted these out of his garage but didn't want to scrap them so he was giving them to a good home. I was more than happy to take the trip to Palm Coast. The rear tractor is a 657 and definitely worthy of saving. It has Wheel Horse branded tires in real good shape. I was finally able to get the ID off the one in the front, 1-3631, a 500 Special. The hood is straight but for a long frame, The pivot point has been modified. I'm thinking the hoods are identical on the 500 special and 657 (edit....nope ). I'll have to research that some more. At first I was thinking to fix up the 657 using some parts off the other one but now I'm pondering. I think the 500 Specials are pretty spiffy.

cdsl810 181 #610 Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately, I could not get this pic. For one, the little Suburban 400 is too short for anything but the top of the lift lever to be seen over the truck tailgate, and secondly, I had to rush home with the precious cargo before monsoon 2015 hit my area. So, I wasn't able to stage anything that qualifies.I guess that means I have to buy another one to make up for it Edited August 15, 2015 by cdsl810 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,314 #615 Posted August 19, 2015 Notice the gunk on my hand? Loaded and strapped down in driving rain a snow plow, deck & tractor in 13 min flat! That's it? No story or better pics? Sheesh!Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,067 #616 Posted August 19, 2015 You want a story? Ok Once upon a time there were 3 bears. No wait a minute! I saw this tractor on CL. Decent price. He said it was a 13 HP Which didn't make sense. Crappy pic with snow on the ground. Coutn't even tell if it was a stick or hydro. Called and left message. Older Guy calls me back just as I'm leaving work Monday. 15 miles away so I go look at it. Ad said mint condition but it had sat under a cover for quite some time. The hood is stained and it's into the paint. Deck has 2 small holes that he didn't see untill I got there. Also came with an older snowblade. I beat him up some and we strike a deal in the nice sunshine iI do not have ramps or the room in my truck for it so I have to come back the next day with the trailer. Tues comes and I'm driving into a severe thunderstorm. I see lightning bolts like in the B.C. Comics ZOT!!!!!! I get there just as the rain lets up enough to not drown pay him and take off the deck as the next wave hits. So I'm allready wet so load up and go!it's a 93 314-8 but it wasn't sold until 98. It has 306 hrs. On it and man was it dirty from sitting in a dirt drivway under that cover. I don't know what my plan will be. I need to clean it up and go through it. I'm more of an old school 60's and 70's WH guy. If it was a hydro with an 1100 I'd definetly keep it but somthing has to go either this or Ezra. At least my cab will fit this tractor like it shouldGot it's first bath tonight. I think it will need a couple more. I get another pic soon. Now how's that for a story? Is anyone asleep? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,181 #617 Posted August 20, 2015 Sparky, you had to go and ask Mike for a story; when will you ever learn? But, Mike had a real good story so I guess it's OK. Thanks Mike. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,067 #619 Posted August 20, 2015 Nothing like asking someone who's full of hot air to talk! Anyway there's these 3 bears at the Iowa Illinois game see. Steve, John and Duke. They emptied out the concession stand and well .... oh never mind. More pics as promised. After the first wash. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,164 #621 Posted August 20, 2015 Nice score Mike! That tractor looks real clean and its not even broke in with just 300 hrs. on it! Tough call on whether to sell it or Ezra. You, know what the peanut gallery will say, Just keep them both!. I'm in the same boat as you though so I understand space limitations... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
