Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

The low pressure tubeless wheels like what is on an Atv or Utv have a larger bead lock ridge than most wheels making them a pain to brake down unless you have a machine . So don't feel bad about struggling with them . I have a small tire machine for the lawn mower tire but take all the other stuff t...

My Dad's dad built one of those GTs back in the 40s out of oak rails and old car drive-lines with a single cylinder engine . Had 2 transmissions inline. I remember see it in the back of the shed when I was a teen.

Yesterday we woke up with that snow that Dave showed, and no power; sometime during the night a large transformer apparently went bust with flames and sparks and such :!: . The whole area here went dark. As we live in this swamp, the sump pump was important, so the generator was mostly employed for...

Slowly getting there . The availability and quality of decals is amazing . The fancy tube hose ends were in stock at PA.
Today To sand and paint the hydro pump/tank/valve unit .

Well this was unexpected. This more was I expected this morning . All that crazy wind and no trees down . But you get a little wet snow and boom . The snow is super wet and heavy sticking like glue to everything . The worst part is how it is sitting .

Woke up to 3" of wet snow on the ground . I thought April 1st was Monday . Oh well , just going to have to turn the heat up in the shop and do some more on the Allis Chalmers.

Nice score . I am looking to score some used stuff for replacing the rotten wood on the manure spreader.

When you consider how old these tractors are already , these repairs are a one time thing . Most people will never do these repairs again in their life time .

Any of you guys get the crazy high winds last night . We got gusts of between 80 -100 kph (50 -60 mph) . Kept me up most of the night as it rattled the house . Fortunately no major damage , just a torn tarp on a coverall.

I remember seeing worn travel linkage that needs attention. If anyone could pass on more ideas I'd appreciate it, thanks. :cheers: #5 wares ...
