Finished power bathing the 1077, dropped the hydro oil & filter for fresh, made a magnetic  drain plug for it. Pulled the tins for engine cleaning.  Thought I was having a productive afternoon till  I pulled a wheel and found this! Anyone with an extra they want to part with PM me.

Is it a 1" or 1 1/8 Jim?

[19richie66 17,508]

Out in the shed today for some “gate fabrication “ and decided I am tired of looking at this poor girl just sitting there. Removed the floor / firewall and cut the old floor frame off and got it back to just the firewall. Have a different direction I am going with the floor. Hope to resurrect this project out of neverland and get it going. Would love to bring it to the show. Awe who am I kidding?

That is a sharp looking tractor and a cute little kid!  Do you have a thread started to document the restoration of the 653?  If not, you should start one in the restorations section of the forum—looks like you are doing a good job and passing it on to the next generation!  

I don’t have a thread started in the tractor till have to gather up the pictures and get one going it hasn’t been a year yet but getting close Labor of love. My wife may not think but I sure do lol

Worked on the 701 a little tonight.  I finished the wiring, got the dash tidied up, bolted on the hood, and sat the fenders on for giggles.  I know the hood should be solid, but the paint patina is a perfect match to the rest of the tractor.  Hood, fenders, and frame seem to be a perfect match to each other, all with original paint.   I was going to repaint it, but the color was too nice to mess with, so I decided to clear it instead.  Still need to repaint the wheels, install the seat, install the other light, and finish the wiring.  Pretty happy with the results so far.  Thanks to Glenn, Terry, and Lincoln for all of their help with parts and decals!

Looking good Dell

701 looks like its ready for the next phase, great seeing mechanical anything from the past, when failure was not an option. going to the Colchester show , zagrey farm on may 5 , always an opportunity to look at and pick up more stuff. last time, there was a very early horse there with " hit and miss power " , great ideas on that , just stopped you in your tracks.  keep the past alive, pete

Finally warm enough I can manage to work for extended periods in garage and outside.

 

Did post winter clean up of the garage and got the GT22-8 situated to finish the last couple mini projects, hydraulic pump/independent 3 point and the Turning brake controls. Like to have at least one of those done before mid May meet at greet in CT. Stevebo started a thread on that one. 

 

And I started accumulating the long list of @19richie66 GT14 parts to tire to the show....

 

I can’t start working on tractor in earnest until May as I’ll be out west for work and my Son’s wedding for 10-12 days....

 

Last year I had been working on tractors for at least a month by now. Or at least that’s what it seems like.

Dr.Trimble, in preparation for packing that very interesting and unusual looking packaging container, if you run across any GT 14 parts Richie has not specifically inquired about or requested, I might well have interest in some items.....depending on what those specific parts might be. If you recall, I inquired not all that long ago about old style mule drive/deck drive parts, but you seemed to think you had a clearance on parts of that nature a while back. I suspect in some ways you have accumulated so much GT 14 stuff, you may not be sure of just what you have until you drag it out of boxes, secret hiding places, and the dark corners of your tractor storage facility. If you turn something up not already spoken for, please give this Hoosier Hick a shout, SVP.

Looks great. How do like it?

[cschannuth 3,816]

Got the old Agri-Fab sweeper out and did a little clean up today after mowing yesterday. What the 314 lacks in brute power it makes up for it in its smoothness and quietness.

Slap a set of Ag’s, rear hitch, and a Brinly 10” and you’re ready to turn some soil with that nice looking tractor!  

 

I know, as my local circle is so fond of telling me, I need to get my mind out of the furrow!  I just can’t help it—I see a GD  with a vertical stack and I think “Let’s go plowing!”

 

That stack is a nice addition—might have to buy a couple myself...

[Goldann520 241]

Sorry guys, 80 degrees in Charlotte this week.putting the electric lift in the 312-8 this week. Got to deal with the hitch pin now, but man, the lift fingers on the old manual rock shaft is up there with steering wheels and hitch pins! Had to cut that off with no room in the frame and almost broke the press at work getting the lift fingers off the yoked rock shaft for the electric lift. Pita!!!!!!!!!!

[Lane Ranger 10,968]

60 degrees today so a nice day to get some work done on the tractors !

 

Got the tiller on the 314 all ready for working the garden thsi year.   Going to do a smaller garden than ones in the past but  she is all ready!

 

Primed and painted some wheels with sawtooth General tires.

 

Painted an RJ fender pan box and a seat spring also.

 

Putting some repainted motor tins on an 8 HP Kohler recoil start motor.

 

Ran two of the RJ's and the 603.   Getting ready to put my mid-grader blade attachment on the 603 tonight!

 

[Goldann520 241]

Well, sold the 414-8 today, @WVHillbilly520H, @elcamino/wheelhorse, @953 nut. It went fast. Finished up the electric lift in the 312-8 and rear lift assembly. Now on to the hitch pin for my slot hitch. Pita. No lift handle here! @richmondred01 hooked me up with that, thank you. Tires and a seat and about done.

Since we're documenting...

 

FINALLY, got the newly-welded 42 RD attached, blades installed and running like a champ. Petina and rust is the look. Kinda' sad under that nice shiny C-125.

[Shynon 7,459]

Got the 753 off the table and out for a test run.
