Those of you who have followed my post know that (Ralph) is a one owner bumble bee B10 I got last year at estate sale:)

Thats what it looked like the day of the saleB) I know it's rough but all there right down to the paper work:D

;) Well today I installed a good used Ebay bought tank. Along with new fuel line,clamps,and an original style petcock shutoff also a in line filter. Earlier I had installed a transistorised deal to replace the points:) A family member said something has gone wrong with the points that even a shop back then couldn't get fixed. So the tractor was sidelined very early in it's life:( Still had original battery in the tray although frozen and broken. Well today the the old boy tried to run8D Useing a jump box hooked to the wires put some gas in and hit the button:p POP POP BANG POP POP BANG BANG POP and so on^ Carb is pretty nasty so a fresh rebuild is in orderB) But money tight have not got unemployment check yet8 Running out of time before scrap show thurs-mon;) So he will get pushed around for another show but I think it won't be long before he is running for the first time in over 30 some years^

JJ the brackets are for a aftermarket push blade/plow

The other tractor was a diesel ranch king sold for $50 1/2 what (Ralph) cost. And took longer to sell:I The tractor got it's name after the original owner Ralph.

Ralph looks to be in good shape, the blade, I believe resembles on a Onan Sears 18/6? I've been working on. Sounds like you got a good deal! I've been looking into getting a bumble bee B-10 but Its in pieces and is painted green:(

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
