Gregor 4,846 #976 Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Local antique days. One load ready to head up town. All lined up and pretty. Even threw in a Lawn Boy for a splash of blue. Can you guess which tractor got it's picture taken the most? Edited August 28, 2021 by Gregor 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #981 Posted August 29, 2021 Had a great time visiting @19richie66 and Karen today with the Stertz Gang! It was HOT and sticky outside but we still managed some seat time on several of Richie’s machines… Zach enjoying another GT-14 besides Blackbeard! Skittles is a sweet machine! Judge liked Karen’s Tractor—that M20 has some power for sure! I drove several including the Heston articulated machine. The cab/sunshade was really nice today👍🏻 Caleb is reunited with Skittles after three years. It brought back a lot of memories from our visit to the BS back in 2018! Thanks Richie for being a great host! The fellowship was wonderful and the whole family enjoyed ice cream at the Creamery! Always fun to connect with fellow RS members🙌🏻😎. Already looking forward to our next visit… 8 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully next time it won’t be so hot and we can fire up the smoker too! If not, we’ll hit a good BBQ joint. It true….. you meet the best people with these little red things. Hope the rest of your journey goes well. Safe travels to you all. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darrenw85 614 #983 Posted August 29, 2021 I seen this at a local show a few weeks ago. The owner did a very nice job on it. He was driving it around and it was impressive. 6 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregor 4,846 #984 Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) I have often wondered just how important it is that the 2 motors turn exactly the same RPM. Would it be more so on a shaft driven set up? Edited August 30, 2021 by Gregor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it just my poor eyesight or does the engine closest to the driver connect on the PTO clutch? I guess if they run pretty darn close you might not have too much trouble. One would run with less of a load and the other would not. Seems like it would run the governors crazy... Edited August 31, 2021 by kpinnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One would run with less of a load and the other would not. Seems like it would run the governors crazy... i’ve seen before where the large multi engine pulling tractor owners have been asked how they synchronize the engines. The answer was that they do not because the individual engines just pull against whatever load is applied and they don’t care what the other engine is doing. I always thought they would fight each other but apparently they don’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We ran dual McCullough 2-stokes on a single live axle (yeah, it could spin the rears if he was too heavy on the throttle in the corners). We never did more than "that sounds about right" to sync the engines using adjusting screws on the throttle linkages. There were other (better funded) teams that tried split axles (one engine per) with the idea that it would be better in the corners. They used a synchronizer in the throttle linkages. But for the extra trouble, I couldn't see any real advantage in their results. We won sometime and they won sometime! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,318 #989 Posted September 1, 2021 I know it’s Tuesday but… Tractor isn’t really squatting from the tongue weight as much as it appears, the rear tire is low on air making it appear to squat. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,823 #990 Posted September 1, 2021 Have we not an air compressor Sparky!?!? You know you gotta rig up a front ball ... saves a ton on the neck when parking stuff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know you gotta rig up a front ball ... saves a ton on the neck when parking stuff. I do have one….but I had no idea it was low till I hitched her up. Only moved it 40’ outa the garage, then the same 40’ back into the garage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,823 #992 Posted September 1, 2021 Here's a pipe dream then Mike... a hydro with a front ball that you can lift right up into the hitch. For short moves like that never even have to get off the tractor. Drive up to the boat, lift her up drive out.... sweep the stall ...drive her back in...... Just thinkin out loud here.... work smart not hard! Just wished I was as bright as my ideas tho! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inspectorjoe 471 #998 Posted September 5, 2021 I bought this C-120 with a 36" RD deck solely to pull a 42" lawn sweeper. As usual with a new acquisition, I hid it from my wife until I could sell another red tractor. Then, out of the blue, inspiration hit: I presented it to her as 'her' tractor. It worked! She had a blast driving it (and didn't ask me when I bought it). I think I might look for a C-160 to give her for Christmas! 3 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
