Marty-MN Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I have admit I would do the same if given the chance:I nice addition:)
Kent Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 One year newer than mine... Wait, do I see a hydro control lever there? If so, that's certainly worth bringing home! :D Actually, those solid-center rear wheels and original Guide lights make it worth hauling home! :D:D:D:D:D
Simpleton7016 Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 what is sticking out the front? Is it just the air cleaner cover resting on the front drive? Nice find....free?
AC808 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 Thats a coffee can covering the front shaft...and the other thingi is one of those cheap mufflers coming out of the original muffler...i dont understand that! Tell me about the solid center rear wheels...hve never heard of them
Kent Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I think if you look at the wide rear wheels that the center hub is just one big flat piece of metal with the hole in the center and the bolt holes/weight holes drilled out. It is not the dished center hub that's only welded onto the rim in 4 spots, with openings between those areas... Kinda hard to describe.... In fact, I think these wheels are maybe 1/2" or an 1" wider than those used with most Simp 10.50 rears. You can mount 26x12x12 on those wheels. Seems they only came on 3012-3212 vintage machines, and perhaps not all of them... As far as that 2nd muffler -- don't remove it until you get it running and I think you'll find that it is noticeably quieter. Not quiet, mind you, but quieter than without it. I just put a 4" slip connector in my Nelson a few weeks back -- just that much made a difference.
AC808 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 Kent I kinda guessed that thats what they were from the name...i didnt realize that they made them..
Kent Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 quote:Originally posted by UCD I have a B-110 with those wheels on it. Probably swapped/updated at the dealer, since it should've had 8.50s instead of 10.50s... My 3112V has them also. I don't think all 3212s had them, and I've seen them on some 3012s, but I don't think they were on all of them. I think basically they're late 1968-early 1970 timeframe.
Kent Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 quote:Originally posted by AC808 i just checked...it has the 2 piece wheels.. May be a later model 3212... Here's a pic of my 3112 with the wheels -- before I put hub caps on it. You may be able to see the difference here: [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2//attach/Kent/Nice_Tractor.jpg[/img] See how deep they are and how flat the sidewall of the 10.50s are... the wheel actually looks slightly wider than the tread of the tire.
AC808 Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 Whats the difference between an FDT 48" deck and one for a later RBT? are they interchangeable..??
UCD Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 The heigth adjusters on a RBT are further apart than on the FDT decks to clear the running bords. A RBT deck will fit on a FDT but the FDT deck adjusters will not clear the running boards on a RBT. I believe this is mostly on 42" decks I have not seen any narrow adjuster setups on a 48" deck. FDT = Foot Dragging Tractor. RBT = Running Board Tractor.
AC808 Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 Thanks Maynard...Ill have to take a look at that deck!
