Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

The morning was spent on machine repairs. No photos, but got the MF-202 lower radiator hose replaced. Also repaired a couple minor item on the new to me MF-20C Turf.

After that, it was on to the stone slab that my rear staairs are going to land on.

Cue the 646 BH. I needed a hole that was perhaps ...

Up and at it this morning...

Got the root chained up, and hooked on to the JD300. Ol John was only able to lift it with the curl. Boom could hold, but couldn't lift. That puts the stump just over 2000#. This was about all I could get it off the ground.

So, back the dump ...

Woke up at 1:44 to the smell of smoke...

Wide awake.

Toured the whole house, checked the outdoors, and eventually remembered the wildfire smoke was coming... Turned the exhaust fan to low, back to bed.

It's nothing more than an annoyance for me, but I feel for those with respratory issues... Even ...

When I was young, I did a few the hard way...

Never again. Hydraulics are the only magic I need...

I've been a bit remiss in my posting it would seem...

The last two days I needed the 646BH... My big JD310 is loosing coolant, and I haven't had time to even think about that for a whole bunch of months... I doubt I could have gotten it back where this stump was anyhow.

2 or 3 years ago I took ...

I can smell the burned wiring from here...

These are about my least favorite issues... The repair itself is a pain, and then I don't know if the harness was the source of the heat, or just acking as a fuse for something else that's bad...

Nicely done. I ran the 90's mitsubishi a lot more when I ...

A very happy Canada Day to all you folks up north!

It all looks good to me.

With how little weight the LBH has on the front end, I never found I could do much more than move loose material, so I don't know that teeth are going to be a lot of use, but between them, and the mouting plate that's gotta add a few pounds, which sure can't hurt. Plus it ...

Your dad was polite about such people...

I need to sell off a 646, and I cringe at the thought of the people rather than knocking a machine off the inventory...

I bought one that sits on top of the grill. I haven't used it all that much, but I did do some blackened salmon on it a couple times, and it was spectacular. I should probably season it. That would help a whole lot with the sticking... I really hadn't considered that with the stainless, but it does ...
