Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

2008 I was looking on Craigslist for a Cub cadet. I wanted a vintage American iron garden tractor. I came across a case 1972 442 with deck and blade for 475. Never heard of them but it was clearly American iron. And a great price. I drove an hour away at 9 pm to be the first one there. What a blessi...

Took thse pics by work today. Something doesn't seem right... This is new construction. The old family run restaurant here closed in covid. The restaurant and garage were demolished with an excavator. Where the restaurant and parking lot stood, 6 of these houses are being built. 20240115_123749.jpg...

Welcome, Noah! Best of luck finding what you're after.

But be warned: these machines are addictive.

This is my text. image.png And that is my (sample) picture. I just open the image in my picture viewing program (I use Irfanview but others work similar) and hit "copy" then type what I want, then hit "ctrl-v" (the universal keyboard shortcut for "paste". Think of the &...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126271391181 If anyone wants to do the bench mounted portable like I've described, this is the saw you're after. It's actually a clone of an older style porter cable porta band saw. The newer versions all have the motor housing up opposite of the exposed blade area. But thes...

Don't bother looking at the speed controllers. Those only work on universal motors and what you have on here is an induction motor. So the speed controller won't do a thing for it. To get the blade down to metal cutting speeds you'll just need to put in a jack shaft. Orrrrrr..... You could put a lit...

It really should be articulated. A rigid frame for the rear wheeled dumper somehow offends my sensibility. :hm: :giggle: :violin: It probably has individual wheel motors and the wheel timing based on the steering input. I'll bet it practically spins in place like a skidloader. Right? :rofl: :rofl: ...

What is now my three-point back blade was originally an underbelly blades on my 442. And that thing was amazing. You can get so much effective down pressure on that blade. I had just finished it when we had an ice storm. And I was able to peel the frozen ice off of the asphalt on the hill in front o...

Eugen, you've impressed me as usual. Very nicely done. On a separate note, I recently replaced the handpiece/torch on my Cut50 plasma cutter with the "pilot arc" type. It essentially integrates it's own ground into the cone/tip, so when you pull the trigger it instantly becomes a little mi...

Well I had a bit of time today and the weather permitted, so I got started on my trench. The ripping bar installed in literally seconds. Then I adjusted the top link to get a strong backward rake. I later dialled that back about halfway, it seems to to do better that way. image.png image.png image.p...
