Scott Salmons Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 A friend at work found a 16 hp "Farm King" that he is taking the motor from to put on his 7117. He said that if I wanted I could have the rest of the tractor. He said it is a real heavy duty tractor with 15" rear wheels and shaft drive, he also said it was a hydro with 3 point. Anyone know anything about these? Scott
Agricola Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 If that man wants to sell that "Farm King" I would love to put in a bid. Those are often in demand.
dirtsaver Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 Scott I do not remember who made those but the old Belknap "Bluegrass" Hardware Co. here in Louisville Ky had that same tractor self-labeled and they are real bears. I know of one near me that needs a little work to go. It has a 3pt that is spring assisted and is really slick. It would sure be a great project. Larry
Scott Salmons Posted November 17, 2003 Author Posted November 17, 2003 Thanks all, I have no idea what it looks like but will find out tomorrow. I would like to transplant a small diesel into something and don't want to cut up my 720 or 9020. Maybe it would make a good utility/loader tractor. It also has a deck with it as well.
lboy1971 Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 I've had three of those tractors. One was a White 1655. They were built by MTD. They are heavyduty tractors. Only complaint I have is the steering is a little cheap. The tranny and engine are good and the three points work nice. Two of mine had 40" 3pt tillers that were very stout.
dlcentral Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 I have a 2 stage sno-thrower for one of those tractors,:o)
