    Jim Dandy value??

    GB Now that I look at this it does look like a Kohler motor. It looked like it had some hydraulics because there was a lever on the "dash" that said up and down. Here's a photo.

Its oily and grimey but not...

    WC Hard to start warm

    Our 37 WC died on July 4th. Sent the mag out to have it rebuilt after removing the cover and discovering things looked pretty old. Had a bad condenser and a few other small things and a good clean up. I was hoping this would solve the problem we've had with starting after its warmed up. No luck...

    High Mileage oil

    Slightly off topic but could apply to old iron too. I put a lot of mileage on my cars - one has 168K and the other 225K. They both run great and I plan on keeping them both for a few years. When I get an oil change they try to sell me high mileage oil. Is there any benefit to this oil or is it...

    37 WC Starting when warm

    Our 37 WC with crank start only starts pretty easy when cold. But when its warmed up it can be a bugger! We can usually get it but the back feels it after a lot of cranking. Any advice or tricks to try?

    First Case Tractor

    Zach, Attaching a pic. of my 1945 SC. Got it in boxes about 20 years ago, my first tractor ever. No. 3 piston was stuck. I"ve restored most of it but its not perfect by any means. Great tractor.
