Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

64" wheel base. 2 cyl. Kabota deisel eng. To be out fitted with 9cubic foot dump box. Why , because Frankie was lonely . And load of spare parts that were not good enough for restore.

Dave,
You don't have to justify "why" with us.
Just have to include us on the journey.

Very nice! Dave, everything about your new project is interesting, but I have to ask about those rear tires. Good looking pattern on them. Good on turf, probably good on snow too. It's the kubota engine a good fit as far as rpm goes for the pump? Don't spare us the details

I will do my best to keep you up to date . I have been on and off it a lot and have been making up as I go with what I have had in storage . The engine will run between idle and 3600 rpm . Had hand make a bell housing to accept the pump adapter from a Kohler . The front half of the frame is a 70's 400 series and the back half is a 70's 200 series . Front axle is the original from Frankie , while the rear is 200 series . The sides of the frame have been fish plated for extra strength . Hood hinge raised 1.5 " same for the tower that is now a "bolt on piece" . Rear tires are "all terrain " 4 ply from my stock of "stuff" . Hood has been lengthened 6" . Spool valve is in stock location in relation to the pump . New line to be made to hock up to the read drive motor and dump box cylinder .
If cell service allows me I will up load some more picks . Images maybe disturbing to some viewer desecration advised .

One of the biggest headaches working on these tractors was the lack of accessibility to some stuff . The tower had to come off and raised anyways , problem solved . Tower was moved back 2" and up 1.5" . The lower steering/lever support was moved back 2" as well .
The hood hinge was moved up and a head 1.5" making room for the additional rad . Thus the longer hood . Will be adding to the sides of the hood similar to the Inggy tractors .

I really like the blue bungee cord Dave!

You are a mad mad machanic Mr Barkey.
I like were this is headed.

Nothing but the finest fasteners used . Allows for multiple adjustments during the build . Best of all reusable . lol

Dave,
Are the tires all terrain or all trial? They look like the Carlisle All Trail I have on several tractors. They are 4 ply ATV tires, so I figured they'd be fine on the tractors because of the speed and abuse an ATV would put on them.

Wow Gordy . You are right on the money , they are Carlisle All Trail. I always called them all terrain tires. I have a second set I have considered running duals, but sure they will have all the gripsion the wife will need .

The first time I saw the "Carlisle All Trail" was at TSC. They had one in the clearance rack for $15. I checked them out at Discount Tire down the road had them for $85 each, grabbed one there and beat feet back to TSC and grabbed that one. Got another set at a local online auction, Almost new (Indents from the tits still on the tread), got the pair for $26

I got 4 with a bunch of other tires from a guy that bought a sea can full at auction . Payed about $25 each for all the 12 tires . Was one of the biggest deals I had come a cross .
