Justice77 163 #1 Posted September 25, 2018 Found this right up the road. Had potted flowers displayed on it. Cold started w/ choke on 1st pull. Engine is 1979 Briggs. Trans is late 50's Borg T93 3 spd possibly from Studebaker or 2wd Willys wagon. Hood / grill is home made and done well. I actually drove this home. Put new muffler and belt on it. Good to go! 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justice77 163 #3 Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks Eric. Neighbor mentioned that the seat is probably worth 2x what I paid for tractor.. Lol. While researching what the transmission is I came across one just like it that was fresh rebuild and for sale for $1500. Too funny! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,421 #4 Posted September 25, 2018 Yeah that seat. Them things are crazy. If you have a real live actual old antique not messing around tractor seat. I've seen those things for sale on eBay for as high as 3 or 4 or $500. Absolutely nuts when you see them rotting away in the field all day every day in Maine here.
