What is this? Sharpening your equipment identification skills.

What brand and if you're good, model is this here? The person who guesses correctly, goes on and puts up the next challenge..........

Looks like a conversion kit put on an old Massey! Can't see it good enough to tell anything more. Cool rig!

No, and it's all original and supposedly from 1953. Sorry about the pictures BB. I'll see if I can get some better pictures of it for you guys,

It looks like a tractor with the bucket setup on the 3 point, and everything is backwards.. The power plant looks IH, or Ferguson... But the color theme looks like old Case...

Is that something from Hughes? They used to make attachments and conversion kits for tractors years ago.

In so far as I know, this thing is totally stock, no mods. I cruised the web looking for pictures but found nothing. This really is a one of a kind! I'll see about adding bigger pictures for you Walt......

Okay, confession time............. Hold on, let me get the correct emoticon here........... no wait........... and and . Okay, now I have some bigger photos and for some reason, I cannot get them to post. Anyhow, I kept running a search on the model the owner said it was, and I kept getting something that did not even look close. Went back to the pictures I had, and discovered, that despite the guys claim that this thing is totally original, I quickly determined that I think he's stoned. The model number and what pops up on the net, can clearly be seen inside this aparati....... and I don't know, maybe it is some sort of option offered by this company. Supposedly, it's a hydrostatic driven affair, and looks very well done if it is an aftermarket machine, but in all fairness, as the unit clearly has the name and model number on it, and it is clearly engulfed in this outer shell, I decided to put up an actual picture of what pops up on the web, as per the model number. There! Whew! I'm off the hook, and perhaps someone now will identify it!

It is an AC model D-14! When I pressed the owner about the hydro part, I eventually determined that is has a reverser. Woo Hoo! Okay Thomas, you up!

Okay Thomas, while we wait for your snow to melt and the mud to dry up, I thought I'd lead off with another puzzler for the forum community. Thomas still gets first shot at selecting the next "official puzzler, but this one will keep us busy until he kicks in. This one is fairly easy, so we'll start out with just a tidbit to get you salivating!
