That's scary. gm

 

[Gary Mitchell]

I call mine Hank. I think I'd call that one "Frank."

 

[DGinVT]

Where do you find these things? Looks like it has been thru the ringer

 

[Den N Ms]

Gosh,It even comes with a (REVISED) operators manual,that would be much needed with that tractor! LOL

 

[steve19438]

looks like a nightmare to me.

 

[LisaK]

lol...I look at cl a couple times a day...this has got to be one of the worst ones ive seen

 

[DGinVT]

From time to time I see them around here in northern New England, but that one sure takes the cake. You kind of wonder what some people are trying to accomplish. Thses poor old machines were only rated at 20 HP and not 40 or 50.

That's what "Fair" condition means? I guess the one I'm fixing up must have been "Near Perfect" condition then.

I was wondering where the sprocket to my bicycle when too. I thought the scrappers took it. little did I know he was using it for steering.
That thing looks pretty bad, so when are you picking it up?

[LisaK]

I haven't called on it...i'd for sure offend the seller with what I would pay for it.

 

[mbramble]

There really hardly any part of that tractor that hasn't been 'modified'....

 

[JMOR]

Owner sure was not an originality freak was he? Only decent think I saw was tires.

 

[LisaK]

That was my thoughts also. About the only
thing I would want it for

 

[BlackThumbHomesteader]

But you've gotta love that gear shift!

 

[auggy53]

Now I know who used to own my 47- 8n

 

[Jeff from Erieville]

hey that solves everybody's power steering problem!

 

[LisaK]

I called earlier. No answer. No call back. I'm interested to find out why they did that to it.

 

[notjustair]

It looks like it would pass an emissions test. I've never seen someone desire to put a cat. converter on something. Odd.

 

[rd 2N in mo]

Well, It has chains and the operators manual for an 8N that you can use but what does the steering wheel connect to?

 

[stimpy451]

I'm guessing that's a power steering "conversion" what with the PS pump driven off the front crank pulley (not hooked up).

The cat on the exhaust is the clincher, and the water pipe/valve doing God-knows-what. Maybe it has been converted to a closed-loop MegaSquirt injection and has a lambda probe upstream of the cat....

:roll:

Edit: never mind. I just noticed the farmer-stick-welding on the steering column/bike sprocket. Ugh.
