WHX?? 48,770 #4579 Posted April 28, 2020 Welcome to my world of horses Johnny... first thing I mutter to my myself, more than onc, when I get her home and start discovering po cobblements is "she's a project" That's actually not a bad lookin tractor... seat looks to be in real nice shape. I'm not into naming tractors like these other canaries but I like covids... put a sticker of a certain beer bottle on it and you'll never forget when you bought it ! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,268 #4581 Posted April 29, 2020 Trina says "He has a problem" I said "What's that?" She says "He doesn't have a cupholder" Also, you need a hood latch tab. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precisely, because I backed it out, set my beer on the hood and went to lock up, came back and it was on the ground. These shake a little more than the Onan 🤣 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 88vic #4584 Posted April 29, 2020 I recently acquired a 520-H that Squonk previously owned. Just wondered if there were any threads on here of that tractor, curious of the history of it. The front axle has been modified, also has trailer hubs and wheels on the front. Custom decals, etc. I have a new seat and a few upgrades I will do to it as well. A very well maintained machine, couldn't be happier with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 88vic #4586 Posted April 29, 2020 It's very heavy duty, I'll snap pics tomorrow and post them up. I think I'll copy that and do the same thing to my C-161. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,786 #4589 Posted April 29, 2020 My family got out of the house this afternoon and helped this guy plow the garden! It was so great to finally get Jada on Hot Wheels for a couple turns! It might not be for her yet, but at least she tried. We even got Frank out for a bit to disc the garden. He suffered a bit of carnage, sheared a bolt on the drive hub / axle.... but no big deal. 2 4 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here’s the link! today was the first time I’ve ever worked that tractor, in any form. I got it as a Charger 12 with a broken rod and built “Frank” the 1073 then tested it as a mover. Mrs. Pullstart May have been standing on the disc, holding onto my shoulders. No pics, the girls were off playing by then. It grunted and almost stalled the K-241 a few times, then sheared the 3/8” bolt in the hub. Woo hoo, it’s strong and stout! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balconio 606 #4592 Posted April 29, 2020 Fixed the seat switch today, which was defeated by the previous owner. I figure it's a safety measure worth keeping on this tractor because I mow with it and would like to give that duty over to my sons in the next few years. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
