Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Just remember it's the same little tractor that your family has grown up with, what's inside hasn't changed just because it started with a JICM and now feels that being an NPTF is the way it wants to go from here... 'could be worse - could've gone ORFS just to be "unique"

@JSinMO I found the list for the 644 lift and bucket cylinders, here it is, attached. The part numbers are for

@Eugen Thank you very much! I saved the pdf. I’m hoping to get to this sometime this summer.

As I got replacement rims from @Spike188 for the 644, it's time to get the tires off the old rims. That should be interesting. Breaking the bead.
Work in progress...

First time I see one this bad. Makes me wonder if I can even use that tire.

I see the rim is bad , but what is wrong with the tire ?

Provably it won't seal on the rim. I know you're going to say inner tubes. Would've liked to avoid spending though.

@Eugen I would try wire wheel brushing the tire bead. That is a technique that tire shops use. Some also have a paste that gets applied to the rim.

I was wondering about that too, if there's some sort of goo that might help, like the gasket maker but for tires. I'll do a search. Thanks @Spike188 !

But they're also cracked and may not hold air anyway, so I might end up with tubes. Now I stop whining.
