thedaddycat Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 .... too bad I didn't have my camera with me. When I went out to Michigan, I took a side trip to get that old three belt blower from Ray. On the way back, I saw the neatest rig sitting by the side of the road. Someone had taken a round hood Allis and used angle iron brackets to attach a second tranny behind the first one so it had dual rear axles. The second axle was not powered, something I had thought of trying to do one of these days. They had removed the seat and put a truck bed and cab to look like an old 20's delivery truck, with the curved cut out sides instead of a door or window. There was a swan figurine mounted on the hood and "fenders" over the front wheels. On the back in the "bed" were bundles of campfire wood for sale. It was just too much. I stopped and talked to the owner's mother and gave her my email and the site address for Simple Tractors. I asked for him to email a pic or come and post one here. I hope he does.... On a treasure hunt, I came up with a NOS Hi-Lo Pulley Kit, complete right down to the sticker to show which way is high and low. This looks different than the one I have, which is one piece of nylon like material. This one has a metal holder and a hard rubber(I think) insert. Any ideas on this one, earlier or later version, etc... I also stopped by Wayland Power Equipment and got a hydro lift and some other neat stuff, like two of the round guards for a sickle bar mower, mechanical front PTO parts, gas tank straps and a few odds and ends. It may take some searching, but they have a lot of stuff that's more or less organized. I also got to meet Bunky and Mowerman and had a nice chat with them. All in all it was a great trip!!
Rob-B Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 your incredable...........the heck with a rabbits foot. i want to put you on a chain and keep you around when i go hunting. is the hydro lift complete? (probably) rob
thedaddycat Posted August 18, 2003 Author Posted August 18, 2003 Everything but the lift shaft and rear ram bracket(groan) and the mounting nuts I think.... I'm sure I can make a bracket though.
gregc Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Both the 990348 and the 990467 two speed pulleys show the two piece pivot (pivot with bearing). This is what's on mine. Could be that someone fabricated the nylon like ones that you have?
Bunky Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Yes that was a great find... I will try and get by the tractor you saw...and snap a photo unless you get one first.... Yes it was nice Chatting with you.. I always enjoy seeing people I meet on the web....
goatfarmer Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Wayland? Did you stop by Stamms? I could get lost in there for days.... Lots of tractors and heavy equipment,from lawn tractors to 4640 John Deere farm tractors,and larger.
thedaddycat Posted August 18, 2003 Author Posted August 18, 2003 No, I didn't have time for Stamms and Wayland both....... LOL
Terry9 Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Kirk, I still have that old three belt blower, sandblasted, primed, painted, and all new bearings, belts.....but still all apart.....if you're interested again. short trip to RI. Terry
ReedS Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 How do you it Kirk? You always seem to come up with the goodies!
MPH Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Sounds like a happy hunting trip Kirk..Sometime in the past year wasn't there someone on here that was talking of making a tandum axle tractor??Lost track of most posts I read when I was working away from home and didn't have time to read 6 pages when I was here..MPH
thedaddycat Posted August 19, 2003 Author Posted August 19, 2003 I had thought of it but don't think I had posted the idea. I vaguely recall someone talking about it, too.... I envisioned having both axles drive but getting both shifters syncronized means locking the trannys rigidly so the linkage tays set right. As an alternative, I had thought of using a cahin and sprockets outboard of the brakes and linking the first intermediate shafts that way. The down side of that is that the power for both sets of wheels goes through one belt and set of shifters.. The only other thought I had was chain and sprockets on the axle tubes, I like that one even less.
Boney Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 WOWSA nice find daddycat, you seem to have a nack for comming up with them :)
mowerman1193 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Kirk,Glad you had a good time and a good trip...Also good to see you found some goodies... MPH,I recall someone did do a double axle 4x4 on a old Broadmoor.I remember seeing pictures of it...I doubt I could ever find that post now but it was really cool...
Kent Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Kirk, While you have nice new ones, can you figure out what it would take to fabricate some of those little nylon inserts? They're NLA, but I think the aluminum part that they mount is still available... it was a couple years back, at least. I've tried making them out of rubber stoppers, but that doesn't work, for long any way. I need some... :) I don't know which is early or late, for sure, but I got the type you're showing for my Big Ten... I thought that was the only type there was. I wonder if the other type is for a Broadmoor Hi-Lo...
Dutch Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 quote:Originally posted by thedaddycat No, I didn't have time for Stamms and Wayland both....... LOL You too.... huh.
