Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Congrats on getting the re-usable fittings to work @Eugen Looks Great! - It was my experience that leaving a tiny gap (1mm - 1/16") between the end of the hose and the inside of the fitting where it bottoms out gives the hose a little room to expand when the insert is being screwed in and some...

Thanks for the advice ,much appreciated! Unless installed by the PO(previous owner) your 82 should not be equipped for a case drain. The good news is it is easy to install. One of our dealers should have a T fitting you splice into the lower oil cooler hose, then run a 1/4" hydraulic hose to t...

Good idea @Eugen. I’ve got various keys in various drawers for various machines. I hope I don’t get senile, you won’t be able to start anything around here! :D Naaaa... You just end up with what I inherited... A 3" ring of 50 keys you carry around and learn patience while you just try them all...

I've noticed every time @propane1 posts the weather screen shot, he has adds displayed on the screen. If you have an android phone, I can post some info at some point for reducing the number if adds and or blocking the adds. I also see no adds on most websites. Matt, I think my phone is an iPhone 6...

@Cookie I recall reading that early hydravac hydraulic motors did not have case drains and tended to have issues with the seals. I'd try to buy one with the case drain line. The case drain is the small line that comes out of the motor. Make sure you throttle the engine down before shutting off the ...

Spring is certainly here! Trees have buds, grass is growing to the point i probably should have mowed it already. I even heard frogs singing last night. But we’re a little too warm for this time of year. 85F here today. In April that means storms! Heavy to severe storms overnight tonight. I hate wh...

I guess some members got a little wrong impression of my previous posts. To make it very clear, to me, parting out one of our GT's should be the last thing people think about!! period. When we as enthusiasts support their greed by parting out a perfectly good GT for profit it really makes me sad......

For me the worst price updates are for our own GT parts!!! Just one example is a common item on Ebay (a hood pin). Basically a piece of rod with a hole half way for a split pin ... yeah you know what I am talking about. Not even stainless but just common steel.. Typically price is just shy of $20.....

I heard that too

@Gordy The outer case of the starter is filthy for sure. But it seems strong, and turns the engine over fast. The battery is a Neverstart from 2019 I’m thinking it’s getting weak. The connections were terrible. But to your point I’ve seen that on tractor starters before. They get really draggy. I’m...
