• Posted in thread: What has broken on your Tractor? on 05/09/2011 at 1:37PM
  For the most part all the problems I've had have been fuel related on any of my machines running on
  gasoline. Today's fuel just don't last when left to sit, often its an issue as soon as a week after ...

• Posted in thread: My Ford 8n Is Blue = Is Ths Right? on 05/11/2010 at 10:42PM
  I'm far from an expert here but a few years ago I helped do a minor refurb of an 8N for a buddy of mine,
  the machine was gray with blue, what would normally be red, on his was blue. The hood was gray ...

• Posted in thread: kohler vs. briggs on 11/25/2009 at 1:28AM
  As far as I'm concerned, either the Briggs or the Kohler is fine. Any motor that I don't have to sweep up
  bits and pieces of is fine by me. Over the years I've learned to avoid Tecumseh, Kawasaki, and...

  Not much progress on the 1250, I got it home and pushed it in the garage and it's sat there all summer.
  It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take up the whole garage. I'm thinking I should have found so...

  Well, I bought myself that Bolens 1250, after some haggling I got the whole package for $1600, with him
  buying and putting on a set of new front tires so I could move it. It took three trips with my 1...

  I think he's brainwashed that John Deere is the only brand that's any good. I offered him a 20hp Cub
  Cadet that was about 3 years old but I think it has to be green.I got the impression he's been to t...

  Its still there, I've been hinting around trying to get a price but haven't been given one yet. They've
