Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Here are some more pics from my 646 build.

Harry, did you add the oil filter yourself? If so, how did you choose the type and where did you get the filter base from? I really like those hose clamps, very industrial! You can't find those in the local hardware store around here.

All the parts to make this happen came from a local hydraulic shop except the filter. The filter came from NAPA. I also made a cover to protect the filter, I will add that pic. The location was decided when I saw how Scott on the other site did his. He bored a hole through the frame and I made mine work by using fittings that I purchased from the hydraulic shop. I also installed a case drain by the filter. I picked up a 3pt hydraulic mowing deck for the rear of the 646. It needed the case drain for operation. I need to go through it still, another project on the back burner. LOL!

Very nice, clean job Harry!

My first time doing that much to a tractor. I had cars and Harleys back in the day. This 646 Tractor was a whole lot more time than I expected and I tried not to get in a hurry or change my mind or take to much time in making up my mind. I remember I was getting ready to put the CCKA back in to frame when I noticed how bad the loader arm pivot bar was bent. I ended up cutting the 3/4" rod in half to get it out. Then rebuild the ends of the loader arms to adapt to a 1" bar. 1/4" plates were fabricated to adapt larger hole XX pipe. It took me at least a week to make all the parts. Machine and welded paint and assemble. It should be able to handle the larger bucket that I have planned for this 646. The saga continues!

Keep the Peace
