The 712H I mowed with this summer has an innopereable lift system so that ones out. No others are close to running due to missing parts, etc.(Read NO BLOODY MONEY!)[:(] So I decided I need a quick and moneyless solution to the fall plowing, winter fighting dilemna. What else can fill the bill but a parts tractor![:D] I pulled the old early B-10 parts tractor out of the weeds Sunday afternoon and started swapping parts. I first robbed the front tri-ribs off the 712 along with a good front axle off a B-210 parts tractor due to the extra crap a PO welded on the original axle. I then robbed the 23x10.50's off the B-210.

This time I added weight. The stacked plates weigh about 60lbs. each side and then a factory weight on the outside. I figure I plowed garden with it two years ago without weights, with weights it should be unstoppable!

[img]http://www.michaelstractors.com/forum/upload/B-16_IC/2010102519442_B-10-4.jpg[/img] Tonight I added the ztr seat from the 712 and just for Phil I even put on the hood! Hopefully tomorrow night I will have time to get it running and moving. Need to replace the drive belt with something out of the archives and hook up a fuel line. And add the usual obnoxious exhaust![:D] Since I had the torch fired up for bolt heating dutys I did a little heating and cutting for a couple low-buck implement projects.
