Greentored 3,201 #1 Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Hope you are all doing great! Im still alive and kickin, but life has taken a bit of priority over the stables lately, but incase anyone wonders: Lil booger 655 went to a new home, since selling the little ladys place there was no need for the lil guy anymore. 'Lawn duty' K341 swapped 1277 just keeps on ticking on the 1.2 acres and even gets a little cruise here and there. Hoss is, well, Hoss- he's dragging the plow, scrape blade, push blade and whatever else I want to throw at him, and looking good doing it. Thats the one I built the big valve K321 for. Ol Smoky 701 is just too tired to do well anymore and is in the shop, about to get an engine overhaul. Rescued a real messy late 80s 520H, got it up and running/driving and its going to a new home this week for a quick flip and profit. Ah, and the ol B-1 bomber off roader- finished up that big cammed, billet filled 20.5 Briggs pressure lube oppy and it is an absolute animal! It continues to take me on adventures with zero issues. Oh, and yeah, theres that orange thing in one of the pics. I had to have just one, always liked the looks of them. Only took about 5 minutes of tinkering on it to realize they are a heckuva machine but nowheres near as simple as a Horse! How have you all been? Whacha's got in the stables these days? -Green Edited July 26, 2022 by Greentored pic oops 3 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old L-157 with 51 HP Duromax... 800 Special... completely restored... and powered with a 25 horsepower fully custom built Tillotson 9,000 RPM beast... And lastly, my 416-8 which I literally just "finished" ...engine completely rebuilt, all new wiring, completely rebuilt tractor. I got this tractor for free from @davem1111...

Not only proper wiring, proper lubrication... quite a few tricks... this place would not be the same without you. When I work on my tractors... the knowledge that you have shared comes to mind, and I'm always thinking of ways to improve... better wiring, better grounds, better lubrication. Your advice comes to mind in everything I work on. In other words, I truly appreciate you sir, and I am very glad to know you as well!

Greentored 3,201 #13 Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Hey yall! Figured since Im so scarce these days id just add to the old 'pop in' thread. All the Horseys are doing great and are happy in the stables waiting to get wrung out. The off roader is still flawless as ever. I picked up a couple new toys over the last few months- things I have zero knowledge or experience with but always wanted. Of course neither were running- best way to learn, right? At this point we are all convinced I have ADHD with the way I 'squirrel out' and jump from hobby to hobby might as well roll with it, right? Hope you are all doing great and have a Merry Christmas!!

ebinmaine 67,435 #14 Posted December 12, 2022 Neat little machines you've got there Scott. If you get a minute I'm sure there's more than one of us that would love to read more about them and see more pictures.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
