Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Hi gang! That fella with the 3pt hitch got my wheels turning. :geek: I have a sleeve hitch, and for the moldboard plow and tiller I can't say that I needed down pressure.

This is a prime example of why most mechanics even the healthy ones are leaving the trade . I would never go back even if my back was fixed and they double the pay. I am enjoying the freedom of working our little farm and doing some small engine work to keep the bills paid .
