lovin the eagle on the front

Awe man, now Im gona have to sign into facebook to look at it... stinker. haha

Its a big wheel Case right Lawren? I cant look at the pictures hahaha. This would make a good utility tractor with the hydraulic drive and the two speed diff, lots of pulling power. What are your plans for the ol' girl?

plans are to restore it... all I'm gonna do to the thing is add some 44 inch mud tires on the back and some v tread 10 inch snow/ mud ag tires in the front

Hopin to give ole Todd some competition with his diesel sears

Sounds cool. If you're putting 44" tires on the back I'm assuming that it is a big wheel Case then haha. I bet 44"s would speed 'er up quite a bit, mine's pretty fast as it is with the stock 31"s on the rear. She would definitely be a rugged rig!

16 inch rims... I showed a 4.5 hp briggs push mower engine beside the rear wheels so folks cold get an idea of scale... at the moment the ORIGINAL tires from 1967 are still on it... and one still holds air!

Yeah haha, gotta love the look of those ol' Goodyear 8-16s on the back of these rigs. Pretty impressive that one tire still holds air after all these years! Hahaha.

Pics for my dude's that don't have zuccbook

'pologies to Lawren if he doesn't like me spreadin his stuff lol







I just downloaded them from FB and posted them on here. I'm not sure if you're on mobile or not though, I posted this from pc.

I think you'll be ok Rich. I was thinking of doing the same thing this morning.

It is a nice rig!

How many pony kohler?

Any plans to hop it up?

Nice mowchine! Any plans for paint?

gonna paint it back in it's original yellow/beige and red/orange other than tires, I want it as original as possible

It would be pretty wild to see this thing painted up all nice, but with 44"s on the back and 20"s on the front. Haha, I like that idea!

I recently picked up a kohler k341AS 16hp... Im interested to see if you do any performance work to the engine?

Does this think have a transaxle, or is it a "real tractor" as my brother would say, with an actual transmission?

Well technically they dont really have a transmission. Since they are full hydraulic drive, the hydraulic control valve provides two speeds forward and two speeds reverse. The rear end how ever has a high and low range.

Oh I see.

12 HP big block cast iron Kohler engine... all it does is power a hydraulic pump... 12 hp, but tons of torque... unless I run into issues with needing a bigger pump to power larger hydraulics, I'll probably leave the old girl stock... never heard of one of these bogging down

Just goes to show you don't need these huge HP engines to power and move these beasts!

Keep us up to date! I love a good restore!

true... in a machine like this one, with the wheels being run by hydraulics, more HP is actually wasted unless you get a bigger pump... this thing is basically a self propelled hydraulic log splitter. The motor is not mechanically connected to the drivetrain. kinda hard to wrap ones head around in the land of belt and or chain driven lawn tractors

The one thing about the full hydraulic drive is there are a lot of places for leakage. Between the oil cooler, the cylinder, and the control valve mine always marks its territory hahaha.

Yup, part of the restore will be custom built hydro hoses... at some point in it's past, the steel gas tank gave out and someone custom fabbed a larger aluminum one... I'll be polishing that puppy as well. I wouldn't trust 50 year old hydraulic hoses in any case (insert bad pun here)
