My new addiction

Recommended Posts

Bluestreak
Hello, my name is Chad, I'm a Gemini, I like long walks in.... Wait... wrong forum... What I ment to say was, I'm ADDICTED! I picked up my first tractor about a month ago. A little fine tuning and she's all ready to go. I don't know what year the tractor it is yet, but I'm hoping a little more research can point that out for me. This is my BIG TEN. I got her with a plow, blower and mower deck. My brother-in-law has a B-12 that came from my wife's grandfather and I stole the moldboard plow and spring harrow from him since I have a garden to tinker in. Since I have a zero turn mower to trim my 3 acres of grass, I'm not using the big ten to mow. But I've played with just about every other attachment I have. The dealer I got her from put a carb kit on her, I still have issues but that's another post, and I ordered a set of AG tires. Other than that, I've done nothing to her yet. This site has greatly helped me already. I'm looking forward to more.

According to the following, the Big Ten was built in 1965: http://simpletractors.com/X-reference/ac_s_pg1.htm Welcome to the club, Chad. Glad to have you as a new member.

Welcome to the site Chad. This will be the best $10.00 you will ever spend on the Big Ten and any others that follow this is addicting. You should try the mower they work great. Good luck with the new born when he or she gets here.

Welcome congats on the new tractor and also the pending arrival of the new groundskeeper these guys have been great with helping me with problems most times without even knowing they did it by reading the other posts they teach alot about these tractors (as for the new groundskeeper I dont know how much help they may be) they may corrupt the little one then you will have to share your tractor. good luck

I understand that there's a support group meeting every Sunday night in the Chat Room, just in case it helps to tell others about your "problem"... :D

Now Kent, you shouldn't be telling people about this support group. Some nights there are so many people needing help that it is difficult to even say hello to everyone. All the "basket cases are there for sure" That is why you will always find me, and Roy, and Levi, Thom, and Marty, to mention a few, who are hanging around there every Sunday evening about 9:30 or after(eastern time).:p We fix more tractors in there than most small engine repair shops.:D Psychology costs extra! sm00
