After seeing some of y'all posting pics of mounting snow plows gettin ready for the coming winter it struck me, I don't have a tractor ready! Last winter I swore it was the last for the B-210 befor major overhaul due to horrible wear in the hubs and diff. 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!
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.
I used an old bumper jack for the rear end lifting, it's an old Blackhack, built in Milwaukee so they are kind of old neihbors.
I then swapped over the 15hp Briggs from the B-210, the engine and rear tires were on here once before so they are old friends. 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!
Here is where I stopped last night.
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! 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.

Behind the garage. I was pretty antsy to hang the 10" again, and hung the front counterweight for the first time. I like to plow soil WAAAAAY better than snow! I haven't heard a prediction of that foul stuff just yet. |
